Air Disinfector Helps Fight Viral Disease
Dec 23 2009
Author: Dr Ian Widger on behalf of Unassigned Independent Article
The infection prevention and control programme at Hereford Hospitals NHS Trust is showing excellent progress this year and technology company Inov8 Science is delighted that some of this success is being attributed to
the AD (Air Disinfection) unit. Emulating the natural disinfection properties of the open air (The Open Air Factor) the AD emits a constant low level stream of hydroxyl radicals that attack airborne bacteria and viruses.
Measuring less than 41 x 20cm, the AD is a small device that is generally fixed to a wall in locations with the greatest potential for pathogen proliferation. So, for example, at Hereford units were initially placed throughout
the older Nightingale style wards where there had been particular problems with outbreaks and ward closures. Subsequently units have been placed in all wards in the main hospital except for the children’s and women’s
health wards.
