HEALTHCARE CASE STUDY

THE CHALLENGE

THAT AIRBOX HELPED TO SOLVE

In order for Dental Care Facilities to reopen post-pandemic, our clients must adhere to the American Dental Association’s (ADA) guidance for a COVID-19 response which defaults to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) recommendations for implementing a solution with engineering controls.

  • Properly maintain ventilation systems that provide air movement from a clean to contaminated flow direction
  • Consult a HVAC professional to investigate increasing filtration efficiency to the highest level compatible with current HVAC system without deviation of airflow
  • Consider the use of a portable HEPA air filtration unit while the patient is actively undergoing and immediately following, an aerosol-generating procedure. This will reduce particle count including droplets in the room and turnover time instead of relying on the HVAC system capacity

THE SOLUTION

clean air, pure & Simple

11 AirBox Air Purifiers – Provided more than enough Cubic Feet per Minute to disrupt, displace and remove airborne particulate:

  • One placed in each operation room, lobby/waiting room, general work area and office
  • AirBox provided the air movement needed and increased ventilation equivalent per CDC/OSHA recommendations
  • Client thoroughly researched all options and determined portable HEPA air purifiers were most cost effective solution

DISCUSSION

  • AirBox’s Safe Air Plans are based on proven scientific technology and certified HEPA air filtration.
  • Engineering Controls address Indoor Air Quality at the highest efficiency and effectiveness, providing the equivalent of the engineering documents from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Outdoor Makeup Air in the Breathing Zone with recirculated clean air.
  • AirBox provided the best overall ROI in comparison with the cost of HVAC renovation and long term sustainability.
  • Maintenance costs are very minimal and easy to perform. Simply change out filters on schedule, no 3rd-party service needed.
