Solutions by department
Emergency department infection control
Continuous far-UVC where people wait and are assessed, quick UVC turnaround for bays and resus after known infectious cases, and portable filtration for surge periods.
Healthcare challenge
The challenge in emergency department
Emergency departments see undiagnosed patients, including those with respiratory infections, in crowded waiting rooms and bays that must turn over quickly.
Risks and operational considerations
- Airborne spread in waiting and triage areas
- Rapid bay turnover with limited cleaning time
- Patients with unknown infection status
- Shared monitors and devices
Recommended Capnova solution
A layered approach, not a single device
Continuous far-UVC where people wait and are assessed, quick UVC turnaround for bays and resus after known infectious cases, and portable filtration for surge periods.
Relevant products and technologies
Each technology covers a different route: air, surfaces or shared equipment. The final mix is confirmed after a site assessment.

Other departments
Isolation rooms
Hospitals often have fewer airborne-infection isolation rooms than they need, and building new ones is slow.

Infection prevention and control teams set policy for the whole hospital, but they need evidence that each step is done and a way to prioritise limited budgets..
