Hospital environments require medical air purifiers to ensure the health and safety of patients and staff. Hospital air purifiers often use HEPA filters and UV sterilization to eliminate particles, viruses, bacteria, pathogens, and antigents.
The CDC has recently released a statement noting the importance of evaluating hospital and other medical facilities for airborne contaminants in an effort to ensure the safety of both healthcare workers and patients.
Although central air purifying systems exist in most operating rooms, patient rooms, waiting rooms, and the general hospital environment are still vulnerable to airborne biological contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms. In addition, debris from paper fibers has been known to clog medical instruments, thus jeopardizing the health of patients. Medical air purifiers often utilize HEPA and UV lamps to supplement and improve existing air purification systems in the medical setting.
