Surgical Products  Product Releases  Laminar Airflow System Wed,
07/12/2006 - 10:49am   The Precision Air Products Life Island
family of integrated isolation room ventilation systems provide
HEPA filtered laminar airflow, to protect patients, visitors and
healthcare workers from airborne micro-organisms. Life-Island
Systems filter breathing air through a HEPA filter that is
99.99% efficient at removing bacteria carrying particles (0.3
microns or larger.) The air flows over the patient, partially
pressurizing the area immediately surrounding the bed. The
system then draws this air away from the patient, either
returning it to be re-filtered, or exhausting it out of the room
and building. The hospital may choose from horizontal or
vertical airflow, and between corridor, end or low return. The
system is self-contained, and therefore does not require
increasing the size of the air handler serving the isolation
room.   Share this Story  The password field is case sensitive.
