Air Innovations - Model IsolationAir - Hospital Contamination Control System
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 and emergency preparedness centers. This portable solution, which includes on-board HEPA filtration, UV sterilization, air conditioning and ductwork, quickly converts a standard-sized patient 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.
- Removes airborne particles with HEPA filtration
- UV light is used to sterilize airborne viruses and bacteria on the HEPA
- Either negative or positive pressure control
- The room is isolated from the central system using temperature control
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
- CDCguidelines for infectious disease control in health care facilities
- Minimum of 12 air changes per hour via 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
