‘Invisible’ Structural Additions: Hospital Operating Room Air Scrubbers
REME HALO® Air Purifiers are located within the ducts of our dental office HVAC system and silently kill 99% of bacteria, mold, and viruses. With ionized hydro-peroxide output and an enhanced catalyst with zinc, the system purifies every cubic inch of air that the HVAC system reaches in both the dental treatment rooms as well as in the common areas. This system was invented to recreate nature’s process of purifying the air, the REME HALO® Air Purifier simulates bringing fresh outdoor air inside without open windows. It is effective against all three categories of indoor air pollutants: particulates, microbial and gases.
Honeywell 50250 HEPA Air Purifiers in every treatment room which removes 99.97% of microscopic airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns every few minutes.
New Equipment
In addition, we have equipped our dental treatment rooms with Beyes Duramax X-1 Extra-Oral Suction System. These vacuum evacuators are placed close to the patients mouths to collect all remaining volatilized aerosols created from dental procedures. The air is then purified with additional hepa filters and ultra-violet type-C sterilizing light.
