Solutions by department
Isolation room solutions: negative pressure and disinfection
Add isolation capacity quickly with modular pressurised rooms, disinfect thoroughly at discharge with UVC, and add continuous far-UVC in anterooms.
Healthcare challenge
The challenge in isolation rooms
Hospitals often have fewer airborne-infection isolation rooms than they need, and building new ones is slow. After an infectious patient leaves, the room must be thoroughly disinfected before reuse.
Risks and operational considerations
- Insufficient isolation capacity during outbreaks
- Pressure and air-change requirements for airborne isolation
- Contamination left on surfaces after discharge
- Staff exposure in anterooms and corridors
Recommended Capnova solution
A layered approach, not a single device
Add isolation capacity quickly with modular pressurised rooms, disinfect thoroughly at discharge with UVC, and add continuous far-UVC in anterooms.
Relevant products and technologies
Each technology covers a different route: air, surfaces or shared equipment. The final mix is confirmed after a site assessment.

Plan protection for this department
We review the space, the workflow and your current controls, then recommend a combination and a plan.
Other departments
Patient rooms & wards
General wards have high patient turnover, busy visiting hours and equipment that moves from bed to bed.
