The Environmental Containment Unit is a clinically tested collapsible,
portable containment designed to protect sensitive healthcare environments
and patients from exposure to harmful airborne contaminants. Connected to
the appropriate negative air machine it is compliant with CDC, CSA, and
JCAHO guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Health Care
Facilities and Renovation of Health Care Facilities.
Isolation Rooms
OmniAire HEPA negative air machines and
OmniAire
PACPortable Air
Cleaners can be used
to create positive and
negative pressure isolation rooms, to increase number of air exchanges per
hour and to purify the air.
Negative Pressure
Environment
The CDC
recommends an Airborne Infection Isolation (AII) for the patients with
infectious diseases such as smallpox (variola major), mucobacterium
tuberculosis (TB), SARS, airborne viral diseases (VZV), measles (Rubeola)
and mucorales. Current CDC guidelines recommend negative pressure rooms with
an anteroom for AII rooms. The negative pressure room should have 0.01” W.C.
lower pressure than the attached corridors.
Positive Pressure
Environment
To
create a clean room environment for hyper-sensitive patients, the room can
be positively pressurized with clean, sterile air to prevent
bio-contaminants to migrate into the room. This protective environment is
recommended for HIV patients, bone marrow transplant, ICU rooms, diabetes
patients, cancer patients, stem cell transplants and other high risk
patients. The positive pressure roomshould have at
least 0.01” W.C. higher pressure than the attached corridors.
Room Cleanup Turnaround
Time
We
are concerned with providing the highest levels of protection for hospital
workers and patients. After hospital cleaning staff carry out infectious
disease control cleanup procedures (the removal of all physical items) in
the infected areas, the room can then be put back in service faster if the
air is purified and sterilized using an OmniAirePACPortable Air
Cleaner. This results in minimal room shut down and disruption
which is a major concern for all hospital administrations.
