Viruses, Bacteria and Infections

Cleaning the air (and maintaining a clean air flow) is an important part of any overall programme to keep veterinary hospitals and operating theatres free from cross-contamination and reduce nosocomial infections.

The RCVS is currently implementing a new "Practice Standards Scheme" aimed at increasing the levels of quality assurance, including those in the areas of hygiene and infection control.

The AiroCide™ can be of particular use in areas with infection susceptible patients. Those animals that are recovering from surgery will have a weakened immune system and will be more prone to picking up infections.

Airborne infections are some of the most common ailments in the UK. Staff illness rates can be reduced dramatically by reducing the levels of viruses and bacteria in the air they breathe.

The AiroCide™ will remove and destroy airborne bacteria and viruses.

Practice waiting rooms are often full of sick animals and owners. The chances of airborne infections are high. Installing an AiroCide™ can reduce the level of cross-infection between waiting patients.

An increasing number of minor surgical procedures are carried out in practice surgeries. The AiroCide™ provides an easy and cost effective way to keep these day surgeries clean and hygienic.

Keeping research animals free form infection is an important part of any research facility. It reduces the use of animals and leads to better science. The AiroCide™ is an ideal way to reduce the incidence of respiratory infection and cross-infection within a research framework.
