Self-Contained TB Systems are designed to address CDC's guidelines by
providing small, high-efficiency filtration systems that provide
for the safe change-out of filters by using bag-in/bag-out housings.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have issued guidelines [Mobidity and Mortality Weekly Report (CDC) December 7, 1990] for ventilation of isolation rooms and intensive care units (ICU's). The guidelines recommend that ICUs and isolation rooms have at least 6 air changes per hour and that both be maintained under negative pressure. Isolation room air should be exhausted outdoors in a way that minimizes any possible exposure to the public. To safely exhaust the air, it should first be properly filtered. Air in ICUs may be recirculated after it has been passed through a properly designed HEPA filter system. The guidelines also provide procedures for the safe removal and disposal of the contaminated HEPA filters to prevent further infection. The proper means of providing ventilation to the isolation rooms and ICUs is to furnish a dedicated ventilation system to each room. |
