As a leader in environmental control systems across a variety of industries, Air Innovations understands that the needs of our customers extend well beyond simple control of temperature and humidity. That’s why we developed the IsolationAir® contamination control system for hospitals, extended care facilities, emergency preparedness centers, and more. This portable solution, which includes on-board medical-grade HEPA filtration, UV sterilization, air conditioning and ductwork, quickly converts a standard-sized room into a negative or positive pressure environment. IsolationAir improves air quality for patients and staff and expands institutions’ surge capacity for infectious disease outbreaks, trauma and burn care.

IsolationAir® System Features:
- Removes airborne particles with MERV17 medical-grade HEPA filtration
- UV light is used to sterilize airborne viruses and bacteria on the HEPA filter
- Either negative or positive pressure control
- The room is isolated from the central system using temperature control
Leasing Options Available.
Helps Meet Medical Surge Benchmarks from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response:
Helps hospitals meet or address these critical benchmarks and Capability 4. Medical Surge, Objective 2:
- Activity #9 Enhance Infectious Disease Preparedness & Surge Response
- Activity #6 Provide Burn Care during a Medical Surge Response
- Activity #1 Develop Emergency Department and Inpatient Medical Surge Capacity and Capability
[Ensure Immediate Bed Availability by rapidly… using non-traditional spaces; Critical Care:
rapidly expand capacity by adapting… areas for critical care]
Originally Designed to Meet U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Critical Benchmarks
- Critical Benchmark #2-2: Surge Capacity: Isolation Capacity
- Critical Benchmark #2-9: Surge Capacity: Trauma and Burn Care
- Cross-cutting Critical Benchmark #6: Preparedness for Pandemic Influenza
The IsolationAir System also meets the guidelines for the following organizations:
- CDC guidelines for infectious disease control in health care facilities
- Minimum of 12 air changes per hour via MERV17 medical-grade HEPA filters
- Use portable units as needed to augment ACH – recirculating room air
- Maintains minimum pressure differential of 0.01” (+ or – depending on the application)
- Maintains dehumidification controls
- Maintains backup ventilation – can be portable units – for emergency provision
- Ultraviolet light can be used for supplemental control
- AIA guidelines for design and construction of hospitals, incl. heating and cooling control to 75 °F
- ASHRAE – Chapter 7 in Applications Handbook regarding health care facilities
The IsolationAir unit is an air filtration device and does not sterilize or disinfect a room or any of its contents. It is not a medical device and makes no claims for patient or healthcare outcomes. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention, of disease in humans or in other animals.
