LG Unveils 'PuriCare' Face Mask With Two H13 HEPA Filters

LG has unveiled a new 'PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier' face mask with two H13 HEPA filters. The mask will be available starting in Q4 in select markets.

LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier resolves the dilemma of homemade masks being of inconsistent quality and disposal masks being in short supply. The PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier employs two H13 HEPA filters, similar to the filters used in the company’s home air purifier products. Employing LG’s latest advancements in air purification, high-performance replaceable filters enable PuriCare Wearable to supply fresh, clean air indoor and out. With its Dual Fans and patented Respiratory Sensor, LG’s wearable air purifier allows users to take in clean, filtered air while the Respiratory Sensor detects the cycle and volume of the wearer’s breath and adjusts the dual three-speed fans accordingly. The fans automatically speed up to assist air intake and slow down to reduce resistance when exhaling to make breathing effortless.

Based on extensive facial shape analysis, the mask is designed to fit comfortably and snugly on a user's face to minimize air leakage around the nose and chin. An 820mAh battery provides up to eight hours of operation in low mode and two hours on high.


The mask comes with a case that is equipped with UV-LED lights to kill harmful germs. It also charges the mask and sends notifications to a companion app when the filter needs to be replaced.

The LG PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier will be part of LG's virtual exhibition at IFA 2020. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates on availability.
