High standards of cleanliness, odour elimination and infection control are essential for top quality care in hospitals, care homes, wards, waiting rooms and surgeries. Bacteria, viruses, moulds and fungi carried in the air create offensive odours and spread infections.
Health and comfort can be seriously affected by poor quality air in enclosed spaces. Improve the healthcare of care home residents, staff and visitors alike by eliminating all odours from incontinence and medical conditions. The AS10 is a completely silent unit which uses our unique thermal UV to eliminate unpleasant odours and control harmful bacteria and viruses both in the air and on all exposed surfaces 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The AS10 is completely safe for use in an area of continuous occupation such as care home bedrooms.
Poor ventilation, incontinence and medical conditions create bacteria and in many cases even regular cleaning and disinfecting are simply not enough, the addition of masking agents can make odours worse and do nothing to control the spread of microorganisms. AIRsteril gets to the root of the cause of the problem by controlling the bacteria and viruses, therefore improving the air quality and eliminating mould.
The MF range lifts hygiene standards to a level impossible to reach with traditional cleaning alone. In enclosed spaces, airborne microorganisms create offensive odours, spread infections and compromise hygiene standards. Traditional cleaning methods and masking agents are not enough, after cleaning, harmful microorganisms can return and grow at a rapid rate immediately after the first use.
The MF is fan driven and can easily be ceiling or wall mounted for continuous operation via a spur from an emergency lighting circuit. Alternatively, it is supplied with a plug and feet for temporary use on a raised flat surface such as a chest of drawers or any other high available surface, in a public area or permanent location, it should be hard wired to a spur.
Improving the air quality in your restrooms will not only clear odours but improve the healthcare of your staff and visitors. The AIRsteril Thermal U/V Washroom Range eliminates unpleasant washroom odours and controls harmful bacteria and viruses both in the air and on all exposed surfaces 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Odours and infections are created by bacteria, viruses, mould, fungi and volatile organic compounds in the air and on surfaces, which quickly can accumulate in washrooms and reach harmful levels. With every flush, toilets and urinals force faecal microorganisms into the air, settling on washroom surfaces, poor ventilation, shared facilities and people who do not wash their hands properly all add to the hygiene problem.
- Offensive odours
- Visitors perceive poor hygiene, lack of care and poor management
- Increased health risks including kidney infections, common colds and food poisoning
- Increased absenteeism and staff turnover
- All washrooms
Microorganisms are always present in indoor air, many germs can remain airborne for long periods of time. Airborne viruses usually become suspended in the air when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. Once suspended, air movement from thermal convection of heating systems or that generated by methods of air circulation can transport germs over a wide area. Harmful bacteria and viruses in the air are either breathed in by unsuspecting individuals or will eventually settle onto surfaces potentially spreading the contamination and health risk they pose.
Direct UV-C and Germicidal irradiation has long been demonstrated as an effective way to remove harmful pathogens, damaging their genetic material (DNA or RNA) to kill them. Put simply if exposed to the sufficient precise “UV dosage” at the germicidal waveband the microbes will be inactivated. Direct exposure of UV light to people is dangerous due to the intensity of the light, so traditionally this technology is either enclosed requiring air to pass through a sealed unit or only operated in unoccupied areas only, the obvious issue being that germs are spread from person to person in occupied areas.
The UVGI Upper room unit is designed to allow direct Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation of viruses and bacteria in the air across a wide area, without any risk to individuals occupying the area. The unit is fitted high on the wall meaning direct exposure to people is impossible, however it can still target airborne contamination across the area. “Thermal convection” describes the circulation of all air within a room, air heated by a radiator or similar becomes warm and rises and at the same time cooling air from the ceiling falls in an ongoing cycle. Taking advantage of thermal convection and the circulation of air from ventilation systems, the unit is constantly reducing all airborne germs with testing demonstrating over 99% reduction in bacteria levels.
The AS Range has been specifically designed for small spaces such as bedrooms with continuous occupation, it is ideal for residents who suffer heavy incontinence. It does not have a fan making its silent thermal convection operation a favourite with residents and staff who may be disturbed by noisy machines in their rooms. It uses a standard wall socket and once installed, an AS unit runs continuously requiring just one annual lamp change.
The MF Range is designed to control odours in medium to large sized enclosed spaces. It is ideal for reception areas, corridors, dining rooms and resident's lounges. The units are installed to suit the size of space (20 sq m to 100 sq m) and the level of contamination, they are fan driven and operate 24/7. Once installed they can be easily tweaked to achieve the optimum level of performance and an MF unit requires minimal maintenance and one annual lamp change for years of operation.
The WT Range uses the latest thermal convection UV technology to control high levels of odours in smaller enclosed spaces such as sluice rooms, washrooms and any rooms where there is non-continuous occupation. The units are hard-wired to an existing power source such as a lighting circuit spur to operate 24/7. In sluice rooms, the footfall tends to be quite low but there can be a rapid build-up of odour as contaminated items are processed and waiting collection.
Our groundbreaking AIRsteril technology is guaranteed to help you:
- Improve cleanliness by removing all odours.
- Improve infection control for residents, patients, staff and visitors.
- Improve air quality especially for residents with respiratory problems.
- Cut the need for cleaning chemicals and perfumes.
- Extend the life of soft furnishings.
- Cut staff turnover and absenteeism.
- Improve first impressions for new clients and families.
- Comply with regulations.
Unpleasant odours can be a sign of poor management, residents not being looked after properly and staff not caring. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) demand high levels of cleanliness and infection control “Premises and equipment should be visibly clean and free from odours that are offensive or unpleasant.”*.
A clean, fresh environment is good for residents, visitors and staff. Strong odours can affect a family's choice when they are looking for a home for their loved ones and staff often take more time off when they have to work in unpleasant conditions.
The old-fashioned way of clearing smells with chemicals and masking with perfume does not get to the root cause of the problem, bacteria and odours soon return. The latest technology from AIRsteril eliminates the bacteria and odours resulting in a big saving in materials and staff time.
