Hospital is a place where we all visit for care and cure for any given disease condition. From a hospital management perspective, it is a matter of higher responsibility to keep the premises clean and safe from any unexpected bacterial infections. This will help the patient get the best cure without unnecessary risks of getting prone to other disease conditions from being exposed to the hospital environment.
Health facilities are a place where there are different kinds of pivotal areas such as laboratories, critical care units, isolation wards, operation theatres, post-operation wards, etc. were it the necessity of maintaining tidiness as well as consistent pressure levels inside every room.
The need for room pressure monitors is a prime necessity in Hospitals, Clean Rooms, Covid-19 Isolation wards, etc. to avoid contaminants from entering or exiting the protected areas. The pressure levels will be different and it results in the formation of various bacteria, pathogens, or viruses that may enter or leave in isolated rooms.
A room pressure monitoring system helps to keep patients and staff safe from not getting infected by different kinds of diseases and also reduces the chance of getting contaminated. Based on the type of room or area, it has to be well maintained with an accurate level of pressure inside. Technically considered, the room with higher pressure has positive pressure, and the room with lower pressure has negative pressure thus called Differential Pressure. With the help of our advanced pressure monitoring technology, it is possible to substantially decrease several problems by constantly monitoring the air pressure. By maintaining negative air pressure, there are lesser chances of contamination spreading to the patients and staff.
We supply many types of pressure monitors of model VAC – CPS – 6000 for different applications which is useful for positive as well as for negative pressure. They are:
The term negative air pressure refers to the condition where the atmospheric pressure is lower in one place than the other. Unlike negative pressure rooms, positive pressure rooms maintain a higher internal pressure than the surrounding environment. This means air can leave the room without circulating back into it, thus any airborne particles that originate will get removed. But in the case of negative pressure rooms, it gets filled with various contaminants such as viruses, bacteria, pathogens, etc. which can cause various kinds of diseases because of the air that is present inside the room. Therefore, by using these monitoring systems, it will act to circumstances of its own.
Differential pressure sensors are for both negative and positive pressure systems. All that differs is the configuration of the pressure values. Pressure sensors monitor pressure differences and are collectively called differential pressure monitoring systems.
The CPS system is flexible and easy to use for the medical staff. The 6020 can monitor and show alarms for 2 different rooms at the same time (6040 shows up to 4 rooms) if you have ante-rooms or side rooms monitor as well. When the product is placed in the surrounding rooms, the Slave panels help in easy configuration and installation. So it’s easy to know the status and alarms of all-important working areas. It’s possible to add up to 10 slave panels to one master panel. The system is dynamic as slaves can be individually configured.
This system has a low installation cost as it uses intelligent sensors and digital Modbus communication and has an easy start-up compared to those of traditional analog systems. It is more convenient to add more rooms or panels after the installation as it is being made on advanced programming.
1. What is a room pressure monitor?
Room Pressure Monitors are devices or a system designed to keep pivotal areas such as hospital rooms, clean rooms, COVID – 19 isolation wards, operating rooms, pharmacies, and clean rooms safe by reducing the chance of contamination by reducing the negative pressure and increasing the positive pressure in these critical rooms.
2. How do you measure negative pressure in a room?
By using an electronic device with a pressure port in one room and an isolation port in another room by continuously monitoring the pressure differential between the spaces, the negative pressure can be measured. The advantages of this type of monitoring are that the test is continuous and an alarm will alert staff to undesirable pressure changes.
3. How do you maintain positive pressure in a room?
Maintaining positive pressure in an airborne infection-free isolation room is essential. With the help of a smart pressure monitoring system, the health facility will be able to maintain it. This is the same as a negative room pressure monitor or a positive room pressure monitor. A single device serves both these purposes. It constantly monitors the room pressure and outside pressure. In case the pressure difference is varying, it will alert the nursing station.
4. What is the benefit of having a room pressure monitor in a hospital?
The main benefit of having a room pressure monitor in a hospital is to control the positive and negative room pressure levels simultaneously to prevent the important rooms from being getting trapped with pathogens. This is cost-effective as it is easy to install.
5. Why it is important to have a room pressure monitor for the COVID-19 isolation room?
We all know that COVID – 19 can be a carrier by transmitting it through the air and hence it’s categorized among airborne diseases. So, having a room pressure monitor will help to maintain the isolation ward out from being at lower pressure that is the negative room pressure, and will help to stay at a positive room pressure level. This will stop the virus from being spreading from one room to consecutive rooms and affecting other people.
