Healthcare and Senior Living Facilities

Disinfecting the indoor air and surfaces

KASEL AIR offers products for a comprehensive indoor air quality solution for senior living and other healthcare facilities where residents, patients and staff are exposed to airborne and surface pathogens and pollutants. The VARIONIX Bipolar Ionization System has been proven to ELIMINATE the Coronavirus, other viruses, microbes, and allergens at a molecular level.

The ions also break down odours and contaminants at their source, and bond to dust and mold particles, removing them from the air we breathe. The system continuously disinfects the air and surfaces, offering another layer of protection against germs, and ensuring the safest, most sanitized space for your patients and staff. Without a doubt, bipolar ionization technology is the BEST OPTION AVAILABLE to protect against the Coronavirus.

Coronavirus Concerns

It’s believed that COVID-19 is primarily spread from person to person, between people who are in close proximity to one another (within about 6 feet), or via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes (CDC). You can put desks 6 feet apart, but coronavirus may also spread through aerosols, or particles that can linger in the air for several hours. Typical air handling systems are not designed to eliminate these particles and can carry them from room to room. Even if you mandate masks in the office, they don’t eliminate the risk and you can’t be sure people won’t improperly wear or take them off when alone in their offices or cubicles. So virus particles can still easily spread through the whole building.

A person can also get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has come into contact with the virus, then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, although this is not thought to be the main way this virus spreads (CDC). Frequent cleaning and disinfecting can help reduce the spread, but no office has enough staff to clean every surface every time someone touches it.

Now, imagine such an infectious virus inside a building like your office, perhaps because infected respiratory droplets entered the air and traveled inside the HVAC system ducts, as a result of sneezing, coughing, or even touching surfaces within a structure. When these infected droplets are deposited on various surfaces, like desks, everyone is susceptible to the virus. If the pathogen is also floating through the air, there is an additional source of infection.

How can you avoid or alleviate the contamination of your building? Advanced air purification solutions are vital. Varionix systems from Kasel Air, when installed in the existing HVAC systems of buildings or as a standalone unit, actively and efficiently can eliminate microbes and viruses from the air. In this way, they remove the risk of HVAC systems contaminating entire buildings by delivering and depositing infected particles. The continuous application of bipolar ions emitted to indoor air is the most effective air purifying technology for decontaminating indoor air. Varionix system’s bipolar ions flow out into the circulating air, proactively attach to airborne germs, like coronavirus, and destroy them.

Monitor Your Progress

What if your employees still have concerns about their air quality? You can show them just how safe it is. Kasel Air’s collaboration with AirAnswers’ air sampling technology will provide on-location validation of air quality, enabling peace of mind for those utilizing the spaces. These sampling devices monitor the air for viruses, mold, and other allergens so you can ensure your building’s air is safe and clean. Only Kasel Air can provide this unique validated solution for disinfecting the air from Covid-19 and other contaminants.

Additional Benefits

This same Varionix system that protects the air from viruses, bacteria, and odours also destroys airborne allergens like dust and mold and reduces energy costs for heating and cooling by drastically lowering the amount of outdoor air needed. On average, buildings that use the Varionix system see a 50% reduction in HVAC, heating, and cooling costs, while achieving the environmental benefits of lowering energy usage. This is a great way to save money while improving the air quality in your office.

Benefits of Bipolar Ionization

√ Pathogens destroyed and removed. Bipolar ions break the cell membrane surface of bacteria and viruses and eliminate airborne contaminants.

√ Allergens reduced. Bipolar ions bond with contaminants such as mold and dust particles, causing them to gain size and mass and drop to the floor, or return to be more easily filtered. This eliminates them from the air we breathe.

√ Reduction of other common irritants. Bipolar ions break down toxic gases and compounds (VOCs) from dangerous chemicals such as cleaning products, pesticides, paints, solvents, mold, mildew, and more.

√ A fresh, clean building. Bipolar ions break down odours at their source and eliminate them – no masking or diluting!

√ Improved energy — and financial — conservation. Recycling conditioned, purified air reduces the need for cooling or warming the outside air, saving energy costs. Bipolar ionization drastically reduces the amount of incoming air needed for freshness, so less money is spent heating or cooling outdoor air. In areas where there is a significant need for heating and cooling, energy expenditures are typically reduced by about 50 percent.

√ Environmentally friendly. The KASEL AIR Varionix Bipolar Ionization System is a safe, natural, and environmentally friendly process. Our patented technology uses no chemicals, heavy metals, or mercury, and produces no harmful by-products.

MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION

Independent studies have shown that bipolar ionization is extremely effective at destroying airborne biological contamination. In general, most coronaviruses spread in the same manner as other flu and cold-causing microbes: via aerosols directly (e.g. infected people coughing, sneezing) or indirect contact (touching a contaminated surface, then touching your nose, eyes, or mouth). So the germs are spread via direct and indirect contact. However, the continuous application of bipolar ions emitted to indoor air by VARIONIX systems ceaselessly disinfects both the breathing space and surfaces. It is the most effective system for keeping indoor air clean and sanitized.
