Dust Mite Controller (AllerVia) Scientific Documentation Summary

Laboratory Tests

Professor L. Suss and Professor G Lozzia of theUniversity of Milan conducted laboratory Tests which showed that under pure laboratory conditions the Dust Mite Controler (allerVia) device generated a reduction in over 22% of active allergens caused by dust mites over a four month period.

Clinical Trials

Doctors G. Brivio and M.A Boscolo performed the clinical trials on patients suffering from allergies attributed to dust mites at the Allergen Centre of Merate Hospital, Italy. They were subsequently published at the European Congress of Allergology and Clinical Immunology.

Trial No. 1 – Comparison of Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) with no protection

20 patients had the Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) device fitted in their bedrooms, while the other 20 “control” patients had no environmental protection prescribed.

At the conclusion of the three month trial, the group with Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) had fewer days with allergy symptoms and less recourse to medication for relief than the control group, with an improvement of 37% in symptom free days per month and over 33% in drug free days per month.

Trial No. 2 – Comparison of Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) and mattress covers with no protection

15 patients had the Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) device fitted in their bedrooms, while 15 patients had mattress covers fitted, and the other 15 control patients had no environmental protection prescribed.

Both the group with Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) and the group using mattress covers showed a 16% decrease in days with symptoms over the control group. Both of these groups also had a 10% reduction in days where drugs needed to be taken to alleviate allergy symptoms.

Trial No. 3 – Comparison of Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) and chemical pesticide with no protection

16 patients had the Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) device fitted in their bedrooms, while 16 patients had rooms treated with pesticide and the other 16 “control” patients had no environmental protection prescribed.

Both the group with Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) and the group using chemical pesticides showed a 19% decrease in days with symptoms over the control group. Both of these groups also had a 10% reduction in days where drugs were taken to alleviate allergy symptoms. The presence of dust mites in both the Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) and chemical pesticide groups’ homes had decreased by 20% more than in the control groups’ homes.

The conclusions of these trials were that Dust Mite Controller (allerVia) is shown to be at least as effective as either chemical pesticides or mattress covers in controlling the allergens that cause symptoms and recourse to drugs for relief.
