Bioseguridad-Integral - Model Biokker -VOCs Removing Device

Airborne pathogens contagious to humans represent particles smaller than one micron, they are difficult to remove, and make up 99% of the total number of airborne particles. In hospitals, it is important to consider that there is a high population of immunocompromised patients.

The best preventive measure against environmental contamination is to avoid the presence of contaminants in the air and to reduce that concentration to acceptable levels as well as to control these levels.

Professionals, especially those in pathology services, must handle formaldehyde (CH2O) and other highly polluting gases. The harmful effects of these gases on the health are multiple depending on the level exposure.

Carbon filters only trap a certain amount of chemicals, and once saturated, toxic VOCs in the air flow freely through them and back into the indoor environment. Biokker does not interfere with the normal work schedule, nor does it emit any by-products, including OZONE.

Most of the microorganisms involved in the transmission of nosocomial diseases by air require a certain proximity between source and receiver. However, many others, such as tuberculosis and diphtheria pathogens, influenza viruses or bacterial and fungal spores, have greater resistance or are transported by dust, reaching long transmission distances. The best measure against cross-contamination is prevention through bio-aerosol removal systems to reach optimum levels of air quality.
