As the COVID-19 outbreak unfolds, CDC had recommended to provide HEPA or equivalent filtration of airflow exhaust for mechanical ventilation.
· For mechanical ventilator we set up "closed" system. but is it necessary to add on inspiratory HEPA filtration? or to change HME to HME F(with HEPA) if there's already had exhalation high efficiency filtration?
· For intra hospital transport patients on transport ventilator , knowing should prevent for those confirmed coronavirus with the HME F(with HEPA) on patient , do we need to add HEPA filter at the air entrains to protect patients from breathing in any infectious from the environment? regardless of HME or HMEF, this could also prevent machine contaminated by room air. ?
· Any ventilator disinfection guides after using on COVID-19 cases.?
It is always crucial to change patient pipes after each one. According to CDC and WHO information; usage of HEPA filtration on expiratory tract of your ventilator and high quality electrostatic patient filters of course is a good move in my opinion.
yes ventliation may cause contamination and appropiate tested spayed must be used regularly in all the rooms: it makes a 3D spray with the use of a king of ventilator. With my Katoss spray we connected the spraying device outside the room for a few minutes of 3D desinfection , coming back into, the room after 30 minutes . Easy 3D desinfection- tested on H1Ni
Meredith Huang Jean Debetencourt Dominik Andrzej Panasiuk Thank you for a relevant question and interesting answers. Ventilation needs to be adressed more.
you must have a pump that spray desinfectant in the air and that works in 3D
I did that for 8 years in my cliinics
The problem in is not protection : it is desinfection of objects and the air
I guess breathing desinfectant should be analysed...
I manufacture desinfectant , a simlilar formula that the one I tested for Katoss desinfectant aerian.and no case of symptomes except that rom must be empty of people for minimum 30 minutes due to potential irritation
This is the key , not th masks and way to act . The air is a medicament

i developped the new emulsion yesterday.
Time to test ...Must apply for patent first and conduct prior tests in lab. and also on infected persons
