Absolute Hepa Filter in Hospitals
Hepa filters are used as a source of safety and supply of clean air in sterilized and disinfected environments such as hospital environments.
Hospitals are environments with a high propensity for airway infections. The use of filters that provide effective air disinfection is important so that health problems are not aggravated, since most of the people who are there are already in fragile health.
To solve and control problems like this, there are ABNT technical standards that establish parameters for treatment and air quality, which must be followed aiming at high quality so that people are not harmed. The technical standard NBR 7256 - Air treatment in health care establishments (EAS), from ABNT, stipulates and controls requirements such as temperature, relative air humidity and filtration, aiming above all to reduce the risk of contamination within these environments.
These environments in turn are divided and characterized in 3 ways: critical, semi-critical and non-critical. These divisions also include all types of environments existing in hospitals, such as: operating rooms, post and pre-operative rooms, emergency rooms, ICUs, testing laboratories, pharmacy, apartments, among others.
The filters used in air conditioning systems eliminate contaminants that cause infections such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, resulting in safety for both patients and health professionals who work there, such as doctors, nurses, secretaries and the like, in addition to to stop other contaminants such as dust, pollen (from flowers brought by visitors) among others.
