Panasonic Ensures Safety of Medical Students and Future Doctors, Equips FEU-NRMF Medical Schools with nanoe™ X technology.
Quezon City, Philippines – Pursuant to their mission and vision as a company, Panasonic continues to advocate cleaner and fresher air for life. In recent events, they have partnered with a well-known university in Novaliches, Quezon City and donated nanoeTM X-equipped Panasonic Air Purifiers as well as Panasonic Portable nanoeTM X Generators for its use at the Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation medical school.
It has always been Panasonic’s objective to provide cleaner and quality air for each and every community.
In this time of need, the installation of nanoeTM X technology not only turned the company’s vision into a reality but has been amplifying the safety and welfare of people affected by the novel coronavirus in high-traffic areas that include vaccination sites, hospitals, and schools. This initiative is in par with Panasonic’s agenda of expanding their current program this 2022 to be of assistance to students that will be instrumental in the future of our health care system.
Moreover, these state-of-the-art technologies are designed and have been verified to have inhibitory effects on airborne and adhered viruses, including the novel coronavirus*1, that’s why people can be assured of a protection like no other especially now that face-to-face classes are nearing its resumption.
As mentioned, Panasonic aims to partner with different local city government and disseminate the technology they have. They have already donated to Mandaluyong City, Makati City, Malabon City, Taguig City, and the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), and just recently at The Far Eastern University – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation Alfonso Hall (FEU-NRMF).
Prestigious guests were also in attendance, namely General Manager of Life Solutions and Panasonic Country Head, Yosuke Tanaka, Communications and Product Planning Manager of Panasonic Air Conditioning Philippines (PACPH), Francis Serrato, FEU-NRMF Chief Operating Officer, Juan Enrique Reyes, Dr. Magdalena Natividad, Dr. Nolan Pecho, and other various FEU-NRMF department heads, staff, as well as medical students, who all showed exuberance during the event last December 10, 2021.
Yosuke Tanaka also had kind words to say, “It is a great honor for Panasonic to be sharing our technology with FEU-NRMF. It is our pride and joy to make nanoeTM X technology accessible in this notable university and give all you the opportunity to experience quality air for life so you can focus on your craft as future medical professionals.”
There were a total of 16 Panasonic nanoeTM X air purifiers and 18 Panasonic Portable nanoeTM X Generators donated to FEU-NRMF. All products installed in each classroom are all identifiable through nanoeTM X safety seal sticker. With this contribution, the company hopes for an improved protection most especially for the students who are soon to experience face-to-face classes once again.
Freebies such as nanoeTM X face masks, fans, and pillows, were also given to students in attendance and were further informed on Panasonic’s groundbreaking technology.
Francis Serrato, Communications and Product Planning Manager of Panasonic Air Conditioning Philippines (PACPH) had some profound words to say during the event so that students present can be informed and further comprehend the science behind the technology and its objective. “Panasonic has leveraged the power of hydroxyl radicals contained in water to purify the air around us. Proven by its effectiveness on four novel coronaviruses variants*2, Alpha, Beta, Gama and Delta, the assurance of breathing in clean air when these products are around is something we, in Panasonic, are glad to share.”
During the event, some students were also asked how they feel about the installation of the nanoeTM X technology in their school premises. Katrina Pacuan, a 3rd year medical technology student, said, “It’s easier to breath now especially if you have this kind of technology that protects you from harmful viruses.”
A nursing student also shared his thoughts, “I’m so excited for face-to-face classes because now we have nanoeTM X technology which prevents viruses that can assure us of our safety and welfare.”

Notes:
*1: based on Texcell, a global contract research organization, verified the inhibitory effect of the nanoe™ X technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals on adhered novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) placed in a 45L box. Over 99.99% of adhered novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) activity was inhibited within 2 hours.
Note: This verification was designed to generate basic research data on the effects of nanoe™ X on the novel coronavirus in laboratory conditions different from those found in living spaces. It was not designed to evaluate product performance.
*2: based on a comparative verification of in collaboration with the Japan Textile Products Quality and Technology Center (QTEC) was conducted in a 45L test space containing the four novel coronavirus variants with and without exposure to nanoe™. Over 99% of four novel coronavirus variants activity was inhibited within 2 hours.
Note: This verification was designed to generate basic research data on the effects of nanoe™ on the novel coronavirus in laboratory conditions different from those found in living spaces. It was not designed to evaluate product performance.
