Hospitals

World-Class Safety for Frontline Workers

The combined effects of outdoor and indoor air pollution cause around seven million premature deaths each year1, and with a global pandemic claiming countless more each day2, nowhere is the quality of the air we breathe more important than in hospitals. Keeping the air hygienically clean is crucial not only for the health and safety our vulnerable loves ones, but also their carers.

Covid has changed the face of the Hospitals like never before

We understand the issues and are here to help:

The air in our hospitals should be treated with care.

Hospitals are the most critical spaces in which to ensure the delivery of clean, safe air and in a time of overwhelming strain on our medical facilities, infection prevention and control should be the top priority.

The number of different hazardous chemicals,3 including benzene, hydrogen cyanide, and formaldehyde,4 found in surgical smoke. According to some studies, the average daily impact on surgical staff is the equivalent of smoking 27-30 unfiltered cigarettes.5

1 in 0

For every 31 hospital patients in the US, one will have at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI)6 with 5% of all patients developing an infection while in hospital7

> 0 million

The number of people affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), approximately three million of whom die each year, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide.8

Prevent cross-infection

Given the variety of conditions and the number of patients they treat, cross- infection can be a challenge for hospitals. VIRUSKILLER™ decontaminates the air, providing real-time protection against airborne viruses and bacteria

Hygiene first

Hygiene and cleanliness is crucial in hospitals, but little attention has been paid to the quality of indoor air. Designed for medically sensitive spaces, VIRUSKILLER™ disinfects contaminated hospital air in a single air pass, making it hygienically safe.

Indoor air safety

Hospitals in urban areas face high levels of outdoor air pollution9, riddling facilities with toxic air pollutants. VIRUSKILLER™ takes control of the airflow in hospitals, neutralising harmful gases and VOCs to provide clean air for everyone.

Patient reassurance

Equipping hospitals with cutting-edge VIRUSKILLER™ clean air technology provides crucial reassurance, winning the trust of patients, their families, and the hospital staff, ensuring everyone feels protected while in the hospital.

WE SHARE CLEAN AIR CERTIFICATION

Stay one step ahead with premium indoor air safety

With increasing indoor air regulations and public concern, huge demand is being placed on businesses to carefully treat the indoor air. We Share Clean Air, powered by VIRUSKILLER™, champions a business’s commitment to the highest standards of indoor air quality.

Safer working conditions for doctors, nurses, and hospital staff

Hospital workers face a barrage of indoor air contaminants while they look after the sick and frail, or welcome new life into the world. Protecting the health of these frontline workers is as important as protecting the health of the patients in their care. While traditional hospital-grade air purifiers offer some protection, VIRUSKILLER™ quickly deactivates bioaerosols, creating a safer working environment for doctors, nurses, and hospital staff.

We Share Clean Air

"Welcome to the family"

We’re spending more time inside, but instead of being safe from pollutants, we’re more exposed than ever. Indoor air is on average two to five times more polluted than the air outside10 — yet despite greater awareness of airborne diseases, we continue to share the same contaminated air.

Embrace clean air technology and bring fresh air back inside and join the community that is committed to turning the tables on poor indoor air.
