About HEPA Filter Vacuums
In order for a filter to be certified HEPA, it must be proven to filter particles as small as 0.3 microns with 99.97% efficiency at its designed airflow. Most bacteria range from 0.35 to 10 microns. Almost all viruses, however, are smaller than 0.03 microns, and HEPA filters are not effective at trapping them.
