Air-disinfection and virus destruction configurations to suit different requirements.
Novaerus air disinfection devices, from H&R HEALTHCARE, provide the first line of protection against airborne viruses and bacteria. Many hospitals worldwide, including in Wuhan, China, have installed the device to help reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among healthcare workers and patients. Powered by Nanostrike technology, Novaerus uses patented, plasma-based, nanotechnology which kills all airborne microorganisms on contact. The atmospheric plasma discharge – the same type found in lightning strikes – kills and deactivates harmful airborne microorganisms. Novaerus portable devices come in three
The Protect 200 is compact yet powerful, designed for small rooms or offices, while the Protect 800 is designed for medium sized rooms, such as wards, clinics and communal areas.
These low energy devices are also low
maintenance. The most powerful device, Defend 1050, combines NanoStrike technology with a triple-stage filtration system from Camfil. The Defend 1050, which provides purification and particle removal within the cleanroom and infectious diseases environment, has been independently tested and proven effective in reducing airborne viruses.

The INTERSURGICAL breathing filter, HME and HMEF range provides an effective barrier that prevents cross contamination between patients, respiratory equipment and the clinical environment.
The company provides a choice of electrostatic and pleated mechanical
filters that have been independently tested and proven to be highly efficient, providing trusted protection against bacterial and viral cross contamination. The range of HMEs and HMEFs include foam or corrugated paper in combination with a filter pad to optimise the heat and humidity of inspired gases within anaesthesia, intensive care and home care environments.
The range of respiratory device filters help protect and maintain the equipment used in the care of patients with a chronic respiratory condition. Intersurgical can provide a filtration solution for the majority of CPAP, bilevel devices, oxygen concentrators and suction devices commonly found in clinical use.
