# MedicAir Pro Max Air Purifier UAE > MedicAir Pro Max in the UAE: H14 HEPA, carbon, UV-C and a CO2 sensor, rated 1,500 m3/h on wheels. Verified specifications and sizing for large spaces. **Canonical HTML page:** https://www.protechnology.ae/medicair-pro-max-air-purifier-uae **Source:** PRO TECHnology Co. L.L.C., Dubai, United Arab Emirates --- Air Quality Solutions · MedicAir # MedicAir Pro Max Air Purifier in the UAE Published 27 September 2026 · PRO TECHnology Air Quality Solutions The high-capacity MedicAir, built for volume rather than for a single room: open-plan offices, hotel lobbies and function rooms, gyms, large waiting areas and school halls. Rated at 1,500 m³/h, wheeled, 29 kg, with H14 HEPA, activated carbon, UV-C and the only carbon dioxide sensor in the range. PRO TECHnology is the exclusive MedicAir distributor for the GCC, including the United Arab Emirates, and supplies, installs and services the Pro Max, with replacement cartridges held locally. Its 1,500 m³/h is roughly two and a half times the Pro and nearly four times the Pro Mini, which makes it the model for spaces where a smaller unit would have to run flat out all day and still fall behind. It is also the model where the **difference between a manufacturer's capacity figure and an independently certified clean air delivery rate matters most**, and this page explains why.

Above that, the answer is more than one unit. - It is on castors and weighs 29 kg, which makes it a machine a venue can move between a function room and a lobby rather than a fixed installation. - It is the only MedicAir with a carbon dioxide sensor. That tells you when a room needs ventilation. It does not let the machine provide any, and no purifier can. - 28 dB is its quietest setting, not its level at 1,500 m³/h. Its 54 dB maximum is the lowest maximum of the three models, which is what makes it usable in occupied public spaces. - 1,500 m³/h is above the ceiling of the AHAM clean air delivery rate test method, so it cannot be an AHAM-certified CADR whoever quotes it. It is a manufacturer figure, and we label it as one. - Independent testing measured 96 to 100% particle removal above one micron, and recommended a deeper carbon stage where gas-phase loading is the main problem. If odour control is your reason for buying, talk to us first. ## Who the Pro Max is for This is a volume machine. The question it answers is not which filter grade you need but how much air has to move through a filter in an hour, and that question only arises above roughly 200 cubic metres of connected space. ### Open-plan offices A floor of 60 to 100 people is a volume problem. One Pro Max, or several distributed through a long floor plate, rather than one unit in a corner. ### Hotel lobbies and function rooms High ceilings, large volumes, doors opening onto the street. Wheels matter here: the same unit can serve a ballroom in the evening and a lobby in the morning. ### Gyms and studios High occupancy, high respiration rate and high airflow requirement, and a room where 54 dB at maximum disappears into the background. ### Large waiting areas and school halls Rooms that fill and empty in waves. ReAKT responds to the wave rather than running at one speed all day. Where it is the wrong machine: a bedroom, a hotel guest room, a private office or a single consultation room. A 29 kg wheeled cabinet with a 28 dB floor is more machine than those rooms need and the [Pro Mini](https://www.protechnology.ae/medicair-pro-mini-air-purifier-uae) is the right answer. For rooms in between, the [Pro](https://www.protechnology.ae/medicair-pro-air-purifier-uae). ## What 1,500 m³/h means, and what it does not This is the most important paragraph on the page, and it applies to every brand quoting a large number, not only this one. **Clean air delivery rate and airflow are two different quantities.** Airflow is how much air the fan moves. Clean air delivery rate is airflow multiplied by the fraction of the pollutant removed on a single pass, so the two are equal only if the machine captured everything first time, which nothing does. The American body that owns the standard test method, AHAM, tops out at around 450 CADR for smoke and pollen, which is roughly 765 m³/h. **Any figure above that, from anyone, is not an AHAM-verified clean air delivery rate.** MedicAir's own documents describe the Pro Max's 1,500 m³/h both ways: the specification sheet supplied with the unit prints "Effective - CADR 1500m³/h", while the manufacturer's website lists the same number under "Airflow at Max. Settings". We publish it as a manufacturer-stated capacity of 1,500 m³/h and say which document uses which label, because relabelling it silently either way would be misleading. If you are comparing tenders, ask every bidder which of the two quantities their number is, and what test method produced it. None of this makes the figure wrong or the machine weak. It makes it a different kind of number from a tested CADR, and worth understanding before it goes into a like-for-like comparison against a competitor quoting a certified figure. In practice, size the room from the manufacturer's capacity, then apply the usual correction: the real delivered figure is lower, especially at a quieter setting. ## What size space does a Pro Max cover? **Room volume, not floor area.** Length x width x ceiling height, multiplied by the air changes per hour you are targeting. *What 1,500 m³/h corresponds to at common air change targets. Upper bounds calculated from the manufacturer's maximum figure, for shortlisting rather than as a performance guarantee.* | Air changes per hour | Largest volume | Roughly, at a 3 m ceiling | |---|---|---| | 3 per hour | About 500 m³ | A floor of about 167 m² | | 5 per hour (US CDC general recommendation) | About 300 m³ | A floor of about 100 m² | | 10 per hour | About 150 m³ | A room of about 50 m² | High-ceilinged spaces eat this quickly. A hotel lobby of 200 m² with a 5 m ceiling is 1,000 m³, which needs 5,000 m³/h at five air changes an hour: four Pro Max units, not one. ### Why several units usually beat one big one In a large or subdivided space, distributing capacity almost always outperforms concentrating it. Air that never reaches an intake never gets cleaned, and a long floor plate or an L-shaped lobby can leave whole zones effectively untreated no matter how impressive the total airflow number is. Several units running at a middle speed are also quieter than one unit running at maximum, and they fail gracefully: if one is out for a filter change, the space is not unprotected. An open-plan office floor 25 m x 15 m with a 2.9 m ceiling holds 1,088 m³. At five air changes an hour it needs 5,440 m³/h. That is four Pro Max units at maximum, and in practice five if you want them running below maximum. Positioning matters as much as the count: four units spread through the floor plate reach far more of the air than four units in a plant room corner. This is also the point at which it is worth asking whether the building's ventilation, rather than portable filtration, is the thing to address. We will say so if that is the answer. ## MedicAir Pro Max specifications *From the MedicAir Pro Max specification sheet supplied with the unit unless stated otherwise.* | Specification | Figure | Source | |---|---|---| | Capacity | 1,500 m³/h, printed as CADR on the specification sheet and as airflow at maximum setting on medicair.co | Spec sheet; medicair.co | | HEPA grade | ATP-HEPA H14, manufacturer specification | Spec sheet | | Pre-filter | Yes | Spec sheet | | Gas phase | High-efficiency activated carbon layer | Spec sheet | | UV | UV-C reaction chamber | Spec sheet | | Sound | 28 to 54 dB | Spec sheet; medicair.co | | Dimensions | 580 x 380 x 750 mm, wheeled | Spec sheet | | Net weight | 29 kg | Spec sheet | | Sensors | Laser particulate 0.1 to 0.3 µm, CO₂ sensor | Spec sheet | | Fan settings | Six | medicair.co | | Oscillation | 180 degrees | medicair.co | | Cord length | 1.8 m | medicair.co | | Sterilisation rate | Up to 99.99%, manufacturer figure with no test method stated | Spec sheet | | Filter | H14; 69 x 35 x 16 cm, 2.9 kg, 5,000 hours | medicair.co | | Warranty | 3 years per medicair.co.

We publish only what we can attribute. ### The carbon dioxide sensor, and what it is for The Pro Max is the only MedicAir with a CO₂ sensor, and it is genuinely useful, but not for the reason people assume. Carbon dioxide is the standard proxy for whether a room is getting enough outdoor air: if it climbs through a meeting, a class or an evening service, the ventilation is not keeping up with the people in the room. **A purifier cannot fix that.** Filtration removes particles and, through the carbon stage, gases and odours; it introduces no outdoor air and removes no CO₂. What the sensor gives you is the diagnosis: a reading that keeps rising tells the facilities team that the answer is fresh air, not another purifier. That is worth having, and it is worth being honest that the machine reporting the problem is not the machine that solves it. ## What independent testing found ### Independent examination, Kuwait, August 2025 - **Who** Dr Iyad Al-Attar, an air filtration specialist who consults to international standards bodies. Commissioned by MedicAir. - **Device** MedicAir Pro Max. - **Why Kuwait** Selected for elevated outdoor particulate, high VOC concentrations and high thermal load, closer to conditions in this region than a European laboratory. - **Particle result** 96 to 100% removal for particles above 1 micron and up to 96% for particles below 1 micron, as summarised by the manufacturer. - **What the report also recommends** A deeper granular activated carbon stage, separated from the particulate filter, where gas-phase loading is the main concern. VOC removal on this model did not reach zero. - **What this means for you** If your reason for buying is airborne dust and particulate in a large space, this is good evidence. If your reason is heavy odour or solvent load, talk to us about the configuration before committing, and read our [cigar lounge guide](https://www.protechnology.ae/air-purifier-cigar-smoke-cigar-lounges-uae) for how gas-phase problems are actually specified. - **Date and source** Report dated 30 August 2025; summary published by MedicAir on 3 September 2025. [MedicAir: Independent Global Testing Confirms MedicAir's Filtration Excellence, with the report summary in PDF](https://medicair.co/blogs/medicair/independent-global-testing-confirms-medicair-s-filtration-excellence) ### Two things we will not claim about this model - **That its H14 grade is independently verified.** H14 is the manufacturer's published specification and that is how we state it. The independent report available for this model measures particle removal percentages; it is not a filter classification certificate, and we do not present it as one. - **That 1,500 m³/h is a certified clean air delivery rate.** It is above the AHAM test method's ceiling, so no such certification can exist for it. It is a manufacturer figure. The wider evidence for the brand, including the Airmid Healthgroup and CremCo chamber work and MedicAir's stated use by more than 20 NHS Trusts, is set out on the [MedicAir brand page](https://www.protechnology.ae/medicair-air-purifiers-uae#evidence), where each item says what was tested, on which model and by whom. Results from one model do not transfer to another, and we do not move them around. ## Buying and owning a Pro Max in the UAE - **Filters.** An H14 cartridge, 69 x 35 x 16 cm and 2.9 kg, published at 5,000 hours, with MedicAir recommending replacement at least every twelve months regardless. Cartridges are stocked locally by PRO TECHnology. - **Dust.** In a lobby or a ground-floor reception with doors onto the street, the pre-filter load in this region is heavy. Keep the intake face clear and clean it on a schedule; the cartridge will last nearer its rating. - **Moving it.** 29 kg on castors is easy to move across a level floor and awkward on a threshold or in a lift with a lip. Worth planning if the unit is meant to follow events around a venue. - **Placement.** Keep the intake face well clear of walls, planters and furniture. A high-capacity unit pushed against a wall recirculates its own output faster than a small one. - **Noise.** 54 dB at maximum is the lowest maximum in the range, which is why it works in an occupied lobby. It is still not background noise in a quiet room. - **Seeing one first.** MedicAir units are on display at our [Business Bay showroom](https://www.protechnology.ae/indoor-air-quality-showroom-dubai-business-bay). - [MedicAir Pro Max specification sheet (PDF)](https://www.protechnology.ae/assets/docs/medicair-pro-max-spec-sheet.pdf)Dimensions, capacity, filter stages and sensors. 163 KB - [MedicAir Pro Max independent test report summary (PDF, manufacturer's site)](https://medicair.co/blogs/medicair/independent-global-testing-confirms-medicair-s-filtration-excellence)Dr Iyad Al-Attar, 30 August 2025 ## MedicAir Pro Max: frequently asked questions **What size space does the MedicAir Pro Max cover?** Its 1,500 m3/h corresponds to about 500 m3 of volume at three air changes an hour, about 300 m3 at five and about 150 m3 at ten. Work from volume: a 200 square metre hotel lobby with a 5 metre ceiling is 1,000 m3 and needs about 5,000 m3/h at five air changes an hour, which is four units rather than one. High ceilings consume capacity much faster than floor area suggests. **Is the MedicAir Pro Max 1,500 m3/h a CADR or an airflow figure?** MedicAir's own documents use both labels for the same number: the specification sheet supplied with the unit prints CADR 1500 m3/h, while the manufacturer's website lists it as airflow at the maximum setting. We publish it as a manufacturer-stated capacity of 1,500 m3/h. It cannot be an AHAM-certified clean air delivery rate, because that test method tops out at around 450 CADR, roughly 765 m3/h, for any product from any brand. **How loud is the MedicAir Pro Max?** Its published range is 28 to 54 dB, and 54 dB is the lowest maximum of the three MedicAir models, which is what makes it usable in an occupied lobby or gym. The 28 dB figure is the quietest setting and is not the level at 1,500 m3/h. Size generously if the space is occupied while the unit runs. **Does the MedicAir Pro Max reduce carbon dioxide?** No, and no air purifier does. The Pro Max is the only model in the range with a CO2 sensor, and that sensor is a diagnostic: a reading that climbs through the day tells you the space needs more outdoor air. A purifier filters and recirculates air already in the room. It introduces no fresh air and removes no CO2, so the answer to a rising reading is ventilation, not another purifier. **Has the MedicAir Pro Max been independently tested?** Yes. Dr Iyad Al-Attar examined it in Kuwait in August 2025 and measured 96 to 100% removal of particles above one micron and up to 96% below one micron. The same report recommends a deeper granular activated carbon stage where gas-phase loading is the main concern, so if odour or solvent control is your main reason for buying, discuss the application with us before committing. **Is the MedicAir Pro Max H14 filtration independently certified?** H14 is the manufacturer's published specification and that is how we state it. The independent report available for this model measures particle removal percentages rather than issuing a filter classification, so we do not describe the grade as independently verified. If a project specification requires a certified H14 filter, tell us and we will get the manufacturer's certification documents before you commit. **Can the Pro Max be moved between rooms?** Yes. It is on castors and weighs 29 kg, which is one of the reasons venues choose it: the same unit can serve a function room in the evening and a lobby in the morning. Plan for thresholds, ramps and lift lips, which are where 29 kg stops being easy, and remember that a unit only works where it is plugged in and switched on. **How often does the Pro Max filter need changing?** MedicAir publishes 5,000 hours for the H14 cartridge and recommends replacement at least once every twelve months even if the unit has not signalled a change. In a lobby or reception with heavy outdoor dust ingress, expect the shorter end. Cartridges are supplied locally in the UAE by PRO TECHnology rather than ordered from Europe. **One Pro Max or several smaller units?** It depends on the shape of the space, not only its volume. In one large open room a single Pro Max is efficient. In a long floor plate, an L-shaped lobby or a space broken up by partitions, several units distributed through it outperform one, because air that never reaches an intake never gets cleaned. Distributed units at a middle speed are also quieter than one unit at maximum. ## جهاز MedicAir Pro Max لتنقية الهواء في الإمارات Pro Max هو أكبر طرازات ميديكإير والمخصص للمساحات الواسعة: المكاتب المفتوحة ولوبي الفنادق والقاعات والصالات الرياضية وصالات الانتظار الكبيرة. السعة المُعلنة 1500 متر مكعّب في الساعة، والجهاز مزوّد بعجلات ووزنه 29 كيلوغرامًا، مع فلتر H14 وكربون نشط وأشعة UV-C وحسّاس ثاني أكسيد الكربون. تجدر الإشارة إلى أن وثيقة المواصفات المرفقة تصف الرقم بأنه معدل هواء نظيف (CADR)، بينما يصفه موقع الشركة بأنه أقصى تدفّق للهواء، وهما كميتان مختلفتان. ننشره بوصفه سعة مُعلنة من الشركة المصنّعة. كما أن مستوى 28 ديسيبل هو أهدأ إعداد وليس مستوى الصوت عند أقصى سعة. حسّاس ثاني أكسيد الكربون أداة تشخيص وليس علاجًا: فارتفاع القراءة يعني أن المكان يحتاج إلى تهوية، ولا يوجد جهاز تنقية يخفض ثاني أكسيد الكربون. بروتكنولوجي هي الموزّع الحصري في دولة الإمارات. للاستفسار: 5501 343 4 971+ أو sales@protech.ae. ## Sources and how we checked them Figures above come either from the MedicAir Pro Max specification sheet supplied with the unit or from the manufacturer's current product page, read on 27 September 2026, and the specification table says which.
