Reduce Risk of Surgical Site Infections

We’ve always known it was important to clean the air, but because of Covid 19, we are paying more attention to air purification. We have so many donors coming in and out, and over 450 employees. In order to keep everyone safe, we need to continually dis-infect the air. We know the [Novaerus] devices have been proven to inactivate viruses, so the doctors and other staff feel safe.

We installed and tested Novaerus Air Disinfection Units in St George’s Hospital, Mumbai. The units have been working 24/7 since early May 2020 in COVID-19 ICU wards. The Microbiology Department conducted bio-burden tests in the COVID-19 ICU wards at regular intervals (air settle plates method) for one month and found the CFU count was always within permissible limits when [the Novaerus] machines were working.

Based on our experience, we requested that Trivector Biomed install multiple units of the Novaerus NV800 and NV1050 in various COVID-19 ICU’s, OT and isolation wards to continuously reduce the bio-burden and help protect patients, doctors and healthcare workers.

Not a single infection occurred after the installation of the Novaerus devices. Novaerus helped to reassure mothers over safety concerns and contributed to increased revenue by differentiating us from other hospitals that don’t offer the technology. Furthermore, during the periodical test by the Public Health Inspectors for air quality, Novaerus exceeded our expectations and we managed to get approval without any problem.

Results of microbiological tests of the air in the areas where the devices were installed revealed significant reduction in the number of microorganisms. Moreover, permanent elimination of unwanted odours in the tested rooms was noted. The devices tested in our facility deserve to be widely used in healthcare institutions, and particularly in sites of high epidemiological risk.

"After the initial COVID-19 crisis period had ended, 60 pulmonology workers were screened for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Nationally, 8% of Hungary’s healthcare professionals had been infected; in the Uzsoki COVID-19 department, not a single staff member tested positive for antibodies, an outcome the hospital’s chief COVID-19 nurse attributes in part to continuous air dis-infection"

In the case of the air samples collected during the period of operation of the system, the number of colony-forming units was up to 96% lower than in the case of air samples collected before the system started to be used for strains of both bacteria and fungi. The hospital staff found the Novaerus air purification system to be: tolerable, easy to use and safe for patients and staff. The Novaerus air purification system complements existing measures to combat infections and does not require additional interventions to ensure that it functions without interruption.

The operation of the machines has clearly improved air quality, significantly decreasing and eliminating the unpleasant smells that were present previously. The noise emitted by the equipment is insignificant, it does not disturb the patients. The [test] results reveal that apart from reducing the quantity of organic molecules causing the smells, the equipment also significantly decreased the quantity of pathogenic organisms.
