Using HEPA Air Purifiers in Hospitals

When you enter a hospital, the first thing you come across is the smell of medicine. It almost makes you sick. Hospitals are supposed to stay one level above any other place when it comes to cleanliness. The smell in a hospital is a sign that the building requires an air purifier more than an air conditioner.

So what kind of an air purifier should a hospital opt for?

Sensitive procedures are often performed in a hospital. While operations are being performed, diseases like Hepatitis E and others can get transferred from the patient already been infected, to the next one in line to be operated. Of course, the hospital staff tries its best to clean up after every operation, but many contaminants like CAC’s (micro-organisms), VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) etc. still remain behind.

Only an air purifier with a HEPA filter can kill contaminants that can cause intensive damage during an operation. This is the reason why medical grade HEPA filters with advanced protection from VOC’s are widely utilized in hospital operating rooms and laboratories.

HEPA air purifiers can be expensive. But the less expensive air purifiers that are ‘HEPA-type’ make no difference if pure indoor air is what you really want.

HEPA filters are regarded as the most effective brand of filters available in the market. The AirMedic Exec from Oxynet Solutions uses medical-grade HEPA technology and a carbon filter that is uniquely engineered to provide advanced filtration. Oxynet Solutions sells, installs and services some of the finest air cleaning machines in UAE.
