奧司汀已經(jīng)被美國政府國家安全局訂購，并應(yīng)用于來幫助911恐怖襲擊的受害者。以下是部分報道的中英文內(nèi)容：
Austin Mecent has been chosen by the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, and to aid the victims of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks

——美國軍方生化研究所的檢測報告

本著對2001年9月11日發(fā)生的悲劇表示深切地哀悼，對其所導(dǎo)致的有關(guān)對美國居民的生物威脅的相關(guān)事宜的做一個答復(fù)，我們已經(jīng)收集了大量關(guān)于美國奧司汀健康伴侶標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型空氣凈化機能夠有效地解決空氣中生物威脅的信息。以下是2000年4月27日有關(guān)美國軍方簽署的委托報告的摘要，這次實驗的目的是檢測出市面上流通的空氣凈化機在一個封閉的房間里祛除污染氣體（模擬的）的功效是多少。在使用過空氣凈化機后污染氣體總數(shù)降低的數(shù)值被記錄了下來。在35分鐘以內(nèi)，奧司汀健康伴侶標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型HM400空氣凈化器的凈化率達到了90%。而且，我們研究了100多臺的此類的機器了。
軍用炭布（同樣用于生/化服裝）和活性炭聯(lián)合起來去吸收成千上萬的有害氣體。這種過濾網(wǎng)的設(shè)計對于保護者1號來說，是獨一無二的，它可以提供空前的保護。
當(dāng)一棟建筑物或一間房間被完全密封時，室外污染的空氣依舊可以進入。Austin保護者1號將會減少并且消除這些危險氣體。我們?yōu)锳ustin·Mecent保護者1號可以被廣大的美國市民選擇來保護他們自己而感到萬分欣喜。
在檢測室中，奧司汀健康伴侶標(biāo)準(zhǔn)型HM400空氣凈化器的過濾網(wǎng)在同類型的產(chǎn)品中對祛除有害氣體是最有效的。
在世貿(mào)大樓倒塌的數(shù)月后，一些曼哈坦的居民患上了氣喘，而且有報道稱他們的氣喘病更加嚴(yán)重了。當(dāng)雙子塔倒塌時，它們釋放出數(shù)噸含有石棉和有害顆粒物的空氣污染物。高效率的Austin·Mecent凈化機特別是引人注意的HEPA過濾網(wǎng)可以分別祛除灰塵和有害石棉。Austin·Mecent凈化機對懸浮顆粒物的祛除率可以達到99.97%，其中包括塵螨、霉菌、寵物敏感原、過敏原甚至炭疽熱原。

The following report was issued: Test Report to the US Army Soldier, Biological Chemical Command:
In the wake of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and in response to the resulting concern about biological threats to US citizens, we have compiled some information on the effectiveness of the Austin Air HealthMate Air Cleaners in dealing with airborne biological threats. The following is a summary of an April 27, 2000, report commissioned by the United States Army entitled, 'Test Report for the System Effectiveness of Home/Commercial Portable Room Air Cleaners.' The purpose of this test was to determine the effectiveness of commercially available air cleaners at removing contaminant vapor (simulant) from a sealed room. The reduction in the amount of vapor contamination after the use of the air cleaner was measured. The Austin HM400 reduced the vapor concentration by 90% in less than 35 minutes. Over 100 units were studied.
Military carbon cloth (the same kind used in bio/chem suits) and activated carbon combine to adsorb hundreds of harmful gases and vapors. This filter design is unique to the Guardian 1 and provides unparalleled protection.
When a building or room is tightly sealed, contaminated outside air can still enter. The Austin Guardian 1 will reduce and eliminate the hazard of these vapors. We are very pleased that the Austin Air Guardian 1 was chosen to protect American citizens.
The Austin HM400 was amongst the most effective of the commercial filter units in reducing the simulant vapor dosage within the test room.
In the months following the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC), some Manhattan residents with asthma, reported that their asthma worsened. When the Twin Towers fell they released tons of airborne contaminants containing asbestos and other harmful particulate. Austin Air cleaners with High-efficiency particle arresting "HEPA" filters were distributed to remove the dust and harmful asbestos. The Austin Air cleaner removes 99.97% of harmful particles, including dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, allergens and even anthrax spores.
