It has an air volume of approximately 2.0 m³/min and offers operation flexibility with both AC and battery options. The stretcher is constructed with an aluminium hood and transparent PVC, ensuring durability and visibility. Its dimensions are W02090 x D650 x H830, and it operates on a power source of AC100V 1 Ñ„ 50/60Hz or DC12V at charge. Weighing approximately 92 kg, it has a maximum loading capacity of about 85 kg.

This containment stretcher is essential during outbreaks of infectious diseases, ensuring the safe and controlled transport of patients within the hospital or between facilities. By integrating such high-performance stretchers into their operations, hospitals can maintain stringent infection control protocols, protecting healthcare workers, other patients, and the environment from contamination.

Economic Isolated Bed

Airtech’s Economic Isolated Bed provides a cost-effective solution for patient isolation, especially for healthcare facilities that require strict isolation measures but must also manage budgetary constraints. These beds are designed with built-in canopies or tent-like structures that maintain negative pressure, effectively containing any potential pathogens. The economic isolated bed offers hospitals a flexible option for isolating patients in standard wards, even when dedicated isolation rooms are unavailable. This innovation by Airtech balances the need for stringent isolation with the practicalities of hospital resource management, delivering a high-quality, affordable alternative to fully isolated rooms.

Infectious Disease Treatment Room

The Infectious Disease Treatment Room is a specialized space within hospitals designed specifically for managing patients with contagious diseases. Infectious diseases, such as Tuberculosis (TB), can spread rapidly from one person to another through aerosol droplets. When an infected patient expels tubercle bacilli, a healthy individual can inhale these particles, leading to the spread of pulmonary TB. To prevent such transmission, hospitals must provide special rooms designed to treat these patients.

Airtech’s expertise in creating Infectious Disease Treatment Rooms ensures they meet the highest standards of infection control. These rooms feature advanced ventilation systems with negative pressure, preventing the spread of airborne pathogens by ensuring that air does not flow out of the room. Additionally, the use of non-porous materials and surfaces that are easy to disinfect further reduces the risk of contamination. Biologically Cleanrooms are essential for controlling microorganisms in these treatment rooms, as well as in operating rooms, operating theatres, ICU/CCU, and medicine rooms. These rooms are crucial during pandemics or outbreaks, providing a controlled environment for treating infectious patients while safeguarding the broader hospital population.

Isolated Treatment Room

Airtech’s Isolated Treatment Room serves a dual purpose: it is used not only for patients with infectious diseases but also for those with compromised immune systems who require a sterile environment to avoid infections. These rooms are designed with HEPA-filtered air systems, controlled temperature and humidity, and easy-to-clean surfaces, ensuring a consistently sterile environment. The isolated treatment room is indispensable for providing comprehensive care to patients undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or organ transplants, where the risk of infection is a significant concern. By incorporating such rooms into their facilities, hospitals can ensure that vulnerable patients receive the care they need in the safest possible conditions.

O.T Ceiling Filter Box

Maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room is critical to preventing surgical site infections, and the O.T Ceiling Filter Box by Airtech plays a vital role in this. These ceiling-mounted filter boxes are equipped with HEPA filters that remove contaminants from the air, ensuring that the operating room remains free from bacteria and other pathogens. The clean, filtered air is circulated within the room, creating a sterile zone that significantly reduces the risk of infection during surgery. Airtech’s O.T ceiling filter boxes are a cornerstone of the hospital’s infection control measures, ensuring that every surgical procedure is conducted in the safest possible environment.

Operating Room and Surgical Room Ceiling

The design of the Operating Room and Surgical Room Ceiling, another area of Airtech’s expertise, is integral to maintaining a sterile environment. These ceilings are crafted from seamless, non-porous materials that prevent the accumulation of dust and bacteria. They are also designed to integrate lighting and equipment mounts, reducing the number of fixtures and, therefore, potential contamination sources. Airtech’s innovative ceiling designs help create a sterile environment crucial for successful surgical outcomes, ensuring that the entire room, from the ceiling down, is optimized for cleanliness and infection control.

Biologically Hazard Autopsy Room

Airtech Equipment Singapore also specializes in creating Biologically Hazard Autopsy Rooms, essential for safely conducting autopsies on bodies that may harbour infectious diseases or other hazardous materials. These rooms are equipped with advanced ventilation systems, including negative pressure and HEPA filtration, to ensure that pathogens do not escape the room. The materials used in these rooms are non-porous and easy to disinfect, minimizing the risk of contamination. Airtech’s biologically hazard autopsy rooms are designed to protect healthcare workers and the environment from potential biohazards, making them an indispensable part of any hospital’s safety infrastructure.

Pharmacy Cleanroom

The Pharmacy Cleanroom is a critical space where sterile medications are prepared, and Airtech’s cleanrooms are designed to the highest standards. These rooms feature ultra-clean environments with advanced air filtration, strict temperature and humidity controls, and easy-to-clean surfaces. In these controlled environments, pharmacists can prepare medications without the risk of contamination, ensuring that patients receive the safest and most effective treatments. Airtech’s pharmacy cleanrooms are essential in maintaining the integrity of medications, playing a crucial role in patient safety and healthcare quality.
