The device was firstly tested in a controlled environment and then in a public healthcare institution with COVID-19 confirmed cases. In the controlled environment several microorganisms (not including SARS-CoV-2) were disseminated, and markers were placed at different locations to verify the behavior under normal conditions and then under the influence of the device to compare the environmental load of microorganisms through the time. Similar approach was applied in the healthcare institution where the SARS-CoV-2 was firstly confirmed and then the device was placed. The results show that, in the controlled environment, the device effectively reduce the load of microorganisms up 98% in 1/6th of the time, while in the healthcare institution the viral load can be reduced in up to 80% in few minutes. Esta investigación busca demostrar la efectividad de un dispositivo de ionización de aire para limitar la transmisión aérea del COVID-19. Para probar la efectividad del dispositivo, primero se probó en un ambiente controlado y después en una institución de salud pública con casos confirmados de COVID-19. Algunos microorganismos (no incluido SARS-CoV-2) fueron diseminados en el ambiente controlado, donde se colocaron marcadores en diferentes lugares para verificar el comportamiento en condiciones normales y después bajo la influencia del dispositivo para comparar la carga ambiental de microorganismos. Una aproximación similar se utilizó en la institución de salud, donde el SARS-CoV-2 fue primeramente confirmado colocándose después el dispositivo. Los resultados muestran que, en el ambiente controlado, el dispositivo puede reducir la carga de microorganismos hasta en un 99% en 1/6 del tiempo mientras que, en la institución de salud, la carga viral se puede reducir en hasta el 80% en pocos minutos.
