There has been hundreds of technological advances in the
recent years from everything from cell phones to dishwashers. It is to
no ones surprise that air cleaners wouldn’t have evolved as well. The
air purifiers designed by IQAir are all Swiss engineered and were
specifically designed to meet the needs of its prospective customers who
suffer from allergens, asthma, chemical sensitivity, and any other
problems they may have that are respiratory due to the contaminated air
that they are breathing in. Out of many air cleaners that are on the
market, the IQAir purifying models were the first that met the standards
required of air purifiers.
The HealthPro model from IQAir is designed to clean a room that is up to
1,100 square feet. This unit traps all airborne particles such as
allergens, mold spores, bacteria, dust, tobacco smoke, soot, and
airborne viruses to keep the room clean and anyone who is residing in
the room free of any contaminated air. The IQAir cleaner is one of the
very first air purifying companies to pass the EN1822 (European Norm)
test. The EN1822 test is designed to test the air cleaners ability to
trap particles at their smallest size.
With the technology that IQAir has placed into their air purifiers, their
systems can be found in thousands of dental offices, doctors offices,
and homes all over the world due to their outstanding reputation for
producing clean crisp air for their customers. These types of units are
needed in such environments because of the high content of disinfectant
cleaners, mercury, and microorganisms that come for the air as well as
from humans and pets who happen to reside in them. Microorganisms are in
most cases air borne due to the ultrasonic devices that are used in most
dentists and doctors offices. These types of devices cause the
microorganisms to be sent into the air as tiny droplets in which you can
breathe in sometimes causing sickness. IQAir cleaners are designed to
take in all of these tiny microorganisms, sending out clean air that is
free of airborne organisms.
In dentists offices, mercury is one of the major concerns for their
staff since studies have shown that the levels of inorganic mercury (Hg)
are much higher in those who work in dentists offices than those who
have a different occupation. Mercury vapors are released into the air in
which are breathed in. An air cleaner that id designed for such a cause
can pull those vapors out of the air and release clean air back into the
room. One way to prevent any of these types of hazards from affecting
anyone that works in the office is to install IQAir air cleaners through
out the office.
In hospitals in 2003 that were helping SARS patients, it was very
important that the hospital had a qualified air purifying system to
insure that no one else in the hospital was affected by the airborne
virus. There were a lot of hospitals around the world who were using
IQAir air cleaners with the outbreak of SARS and they are still using
the systems now. Many different areas of the hospital have different air
purifying needs such as the visitors area would have very different
needs than the surgery area or the maternity ward. Hospitals are
required to be able to control the air quality to prevent from spreading
airborne viruses from one person to another. A basic SARS patient that
is in an area that is not protected by an adequate air cleaner could
spread the virus to hundreds of others that come in contact with them.
The recommended requirements for air cleaners in hospitals are a minimum
of 99.97 percent for particles through a HEPA filter or 0.3 microns in
diameter. IQAir air cleaners are registered with the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) as being a class II medical device and IQAir has
also partnered with the American Lung Association as being the educators
of indoor air quality and the importance of having clean air.
Having healthy purified air is one of the most important factors when
going into a hospital aside from the actual health care that they give
you there. You wouldn’t want to go into a hospital for one condition and
come out with a totally different one would you?
