Healthcare
It’s a life-threatening and extremely costly problem for everyone involved in healthcare. You can sterilize surfaces to eliminate contact contamination. You can filter the air. Yet pathogens still get past your best defenses. Studies have shown that up to 30% of the contaminants that impact medical outcomes are airborne. Bacterial. Viral. Microbial. Slipping past HEPA and laminar flow systems, they undermine the work of medical professionals, endanger the lives of patients and impact on the budgets of hospitals, medical centres and doctors’ surgeries.
Improving outcomes means reducing Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs)

Doctor's Offices
Healthcare workers are exposed every day. In a single medical practitioner’s office as many as six patients an hour have an impact on the air. In a joint practice, that number rises considerably. Patients come and go with coughs and sneezes and soon bacteria, viruses and other airborne pathogens surround your patients and staff. The likelihood of infections being passed on rises dramatically. Staff are at risk and patients who have come to get better, often get worse.
By simply installing an Airocide® bioconversion system in your surgery or medical centre, you will eliminate 99.999% of all airborne micro-organisms. It’s a simple and cost-effective way to protect the lives of your patients and the professionals who care for them.
Hospitals
People come to get well, and get sick. Studies show that up to 30% of hospital-acquired infections result from airborne pathogens circulating in hospital air. Even in environments considered to be sterile, it’s common to find airborne pathogens like methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and penicillum aspergillus.
They persist in hospitals despite hospital-grade HEPA filtration and laminar flow systems because the effective range of filtration is from .3 to .1 microns. The deadliest pathogens are smaller than that. Even their larger colleagues are able to circumvent most systems. When people enter the operating room, they bring these contaminants with them. Sterile gowns collect unwanted hitchhikers along the way. Operating room nurses who prepare the room bring companions that remain despite precautions. And that’s just in the OR.
Pre-op, Recovery, Intensive Care and General wards all harbour airborne pathogens.
State of the art hospitals in the United States have recorded astounding reductions in airborne pathogens, including those normally resistant to treatment, after installing Airocide bioconversion systems. Add one of these Airocide® bioconversion systems to the equation and the number of Colony Forming Units (CFUs) plunges. They eradicate virtually every microorganism they encounter. Can your hospital afford not to use this NASA-inspired technology?
