Description
Beyond the Basics – Achieving Contamination Control in Critical Spaces
Combining known technologies into an easy-to-deploy portable unit
- HEPA filtration for airborne particulate removal via recirculated air
- Ultraviolet C (UVC) light to aide in sterilizing airborne viruses and bacteria trapped in the HEPA filter
- Pressure control either negative or positive
- Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms (COVID-19, TB, SARS, smallpox, etc.) require negative pressure
- Protective Environments (burn, immuno-suppressed) require positive pressure
- Temperature control – the room becomes isolated from the central system
- Only air having passed through both UVC and HEPA filtration will be returned to hospital HVAC
IsolationAir® meets CDC, AIA and ASHRAE guidelines for new or renovation
- 12 air changes per hour via HEPA filters
- Each IsolationAir unit conditions rooms up to 375 sqft with an 8’ ceiling
- Pressure differential of 0.01” minimum between room and adjoining spaces
(May require additional seals around doors or other significant leak points in large rooms with poorly sealed doors) - Continuous operation when plugged into emergency generator outlet
- Provides stable temperature control for patient comfort
- Originally designed to meet the 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
