Ionizers Achieve Fantastic Reductions in Hospital Infections
New Milton company Air Ion Technologies Ltd appear to have come up with a timely solution for the problem that has been closing hospital wards throught the country, including The Royal Free at Bournemouth and Southampton General. The effects of their Ionizers have been monitored in an Intensive Care Unit in Leeds where the researchers have described the results as "fantastic" and "a powerful new weapon in the fight against hospital-acquired infection".
"Our principal market is call-centres, dealing rooms and modern offices," says AIT’s managing director Julian Laws, "Hi-tech areas where statistics show that staff suffer from higher levels of sickness and absenteeism than average. Our Ionizers regularly achieve dramatic improvements, combating office epidemics, creating major reductions in staffing costs. We are particularly delighted to be equipping the NHS24 Call Centres in Scotland."
Air Ion Technologies is a new company, set up in September 2002, but the key personnel behind the company have over 33 years experience with air ionization. "There’s a gulf of difference between the domestic Ionizers one buys from the chemist or catalogue and the kind of equipment we produce for continuous commercial use," says Julian. "Ours are a unique combination of very fine (HEPA) air filtration and field-suppressed negative air ionization. We actually call them Air Processors to distinguish between the two."
Doctors’ waiting rooms and surgeries are also areas that could obviously benefit from this technology, particularly at this time of year. After all, if you wanted to catch an infection, what better place could there be? Having acquired the infection you might then go to hospital where you would have a 1 in 5 chance of catching a secondary infection with a high probability that it would be resistant to antibiotics.
Quite clearly this is a problem that is screaming out for a solution and it could well be that the solution is right here in our midst.
