IQAir Cleanroom H13

The IQAir Cleanroom H13 has been designed specifically for the removal of airborne particles. The systems feature the highest air delivery and longest filter life of any IQAir particle filter system. To allow for maximum air delivery the systems contain no gas phase filtration.

Applications

Professional Control Of Airborne Particulates

Larger HyperHEPA filter

Higher efficiency HyperHEPA filter
Features H13 class certified HEPA filter.

Individually tested and certified HyperHEPA replacement filters
Ensures continued certified filtration efficiency.

Anti-microbially treated HyperHEPA
HEPA filter is treated with antimicrobial agents that kill microorganisms, especially bacterium that cause diseases upon contact.

Anti-microbially treated pre-filter
Pre-filter is treated with antimicrobial agents that kill microorganisms, especially bacterium that cause diseases upon contact.

Higher air flow rate
The airflow rate is higher since there is no gas filtration in this device. A gas filter would reduce the air flow rate and add to filter replacement costs and it does not provide any infection control benefits. High air delivery rates are also important to achieve high air changes per hour (ACH) and when the system is used to create negative/positive pressure differences (e.g. for isolation purposes).

Anti-Tampering Features
A special cable lock avoids the system from becoming disconnected accidentally. In addition, a Special arm lock prevents tampering with the system by unauthorised users.

Positive and Negative Pressure Environments
Each IQAir Cleanroom system can be used as a recirculation device or it can be combined with IQAir's ducting adapters InFlow W125 or OutFlow W125 to create positive and negative pressure environments. The creation of negative pressure helps to contain harmful particles, such as microorganisms, in a particular area (e.g. TB isolation). Just see all the IQAir accessories so you know the many different ways you can deploy an IQAir.

The creation of positive pressure helps to protect clean areas from contaminants entering from adjacent rooms (e.g. protective isolation of immuno-compromised patients, controlled environments for medical device manufacturing).

Decentralised Airborne Infection Control in Health-Care Facilities
Airborne pathogens in health-care environments pose a particular risk to immunocompromised patients who may inhale fungal spores, bacteria and viruses. Airborne microorganisms can not only complicate recovery from surgery, but can also lead to life-threatening infections,costing health-care services hundreds of millions every year.

Hospital-acquired aspergillosis for example has been recognised increasingly as a cause of severe illness and high mortality in immunocompromised individuals, e.g. patients undergoing chemotherapy and/or organ or bone marrow transplants. In the light of the marked increase in nosocomial infections over recent years, many of which are caused by drug-resistant pathogens, the importance of using high-efficiency air filtration systems beyond the confines of so-called "critical areas" (such as operation theatres) has once again been emphasised. Both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), advise that, wherever possible, preventive infection control measures should be implemented to reduce the risk of nosocomial infections.
