Prevention of spread of infection diseases in Healthcare Facilities

To assure that diseases do not spread, the potential problem areas should be isolated and the air purified by portable HEPA air filtration equipment as recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The studies show that the combination of HEPA filtration with UV germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is the most effective method to capture and destroy bio-contaminants, such as the fungi, bacteria and viruses that spread diseases such as pandemic flu, avian flu, tuberculosis, aspergillosis, ebola fever, marburg hemorrhagic fever, lassa fever, and other biological threats. The OmniAire PAC machines, combining HEPA/UVGI lights is designed for patient’s isolation rooms, waiting areas, operation rooms and other highly sensitive areas. The UVGI irradiation deactivates and kills bio-contaminants which are than captured in a HEPA filter. HEPA filtered air can be exhausted or farther sanitized by an optional PEROx module with Hydro-peroxide purifier. The exhausted sanitized air carries additional Ionized-Hydro-Peroxide molecules to sanitize air and surfaces in surrounding area.

OmniAire 1200PAC for patient isolation rooms

OMNIAIRE HEPA AIR FILTRATION MACHINES ARE USED TO FILTER AND PURIFY THE AIR DURING:

• Creation of isolation rooms
• Supply purified air to meet required air changes (ACH)
• Sanitizing of patient’s rooms
• Purifying air in patient’s waiting areas
• Prevent contamination in compounding pharmacies

Respiratory infections can be acquired from exposure to pathogenic microorganisms which can be indefinitely suspended in air and be carried over long distances. Healthcare facilities with patients with a compromised immune system are especially vulnerable, but from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and other studies, other potentially affected types of healthcare facilities include:

INTENSIVE CARE UNITS

• Emergency waiting Rooms
• Dental Surgeries
• Nursing Homes
• Doctors Offices
• Veterinary Clinics

APPLICATIONS

• Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) isolation
• TB isolation
• Pediatric isolation
• Infectious disease control
• Bronchoscopy
• Legionelia
• Nosocomial infections

Omnitec’s customer support can help you to select the appropriate HEPA air filtration system for your application to help reduce exposure to airborne pathogens associated with hospital acquired infections.
