FAILSAFE AIR SAFETY SYSTEMPRESS RELEASE
"Airborne hazards removed with the power of the wind" NEW DEVICE PRODUCES PORTABLE SAFE AIR ZONES A breakthrough in treatment of contaminated air inside enclosed areas was announced today. This unique device addresses substances as deadly as anthrax or common by products of operations or construction including fumes, dusts and noxious odors. We have developed the first portable fume hood designed to protect a room like a respirator protects firefighters or other professions from deadly hazards released into the air. The high volume 700-900 CFM machine sucks in any kind of Dust, Fume, Gas or Odor and eliminates the hazard by using UV light, Ozone and a series of charcoal and HEPA filters. The ozone released also removes odors from fires, skunks or any kind of objectionable stench in the air. The portable unit is small enough to roll down the aisle in an aircraft and wipe all signs of infection from hospital zones. Designed for Bioterrorism after the Sarin gas attack in Tokyo, hazmat specialists and firefighters designed the system for rugged field use by allowing for instant filter changes by way of the outside filter sleeves. Airborne hazards are coming to the US by way of worldwide travel with examples like TB and the tools of terrorists. Now we have given a tool that each fire department can use with building owners to clean up dirty air zones from any kind of hazard. The failsafe system uses some of the same technology designed for military applications and counter terrorism, but made the 4 thousand dollar unit available to building owners, schools, airports and emergency services. A key feature of the system is the ability to also sample and test the air for six to eight different substances using a vacuum connection for air sampling cassettes or tubes built in. "This will save huge amounts of time waiting for specialized air sampling equipment and both preserve evidence of the contamination levels and document when the air is completely cleared of contamination." The time required to clear the air depends on the type of hazard. For nuisance issues such as construction and other dusts, mold spores, and even pepper gas or odors, two air changes are required. For toxic substances such as fumes, gases and mists, four air changes are recommended and for deadly materials such as radioactive releases, asbestos, and anthrax, six air changes are suggested. The amount of time required for each room depends on the size of the room and the number of units but typically from five minutes to 55 minutes are required if the source is contained. The unit is certified for environmental cleanups such as asbestos, lead dust and pesticides as well as sick building syndrome. In 1999, the manufacturer patented and developed the first portable infection free biomedical system for hospitals, prisons and immigration. These medical systems replace isolation rooms used for infectious patients by placement of the mobile capture hood over the patients head. This was in response to the rapidly spiraling TB epidemic in some parts of the US, Russia and Asia. The breakthrough built upon three previous technologies to combine and reduce the size of the equipment while boosting protective power by 300%. A combination of an ozone treatment system, fume hood and environmental biomedical treatment system has allowed the creation of the Failsafe Air Safety System. Airflow draws contaminates towards the unit to protect others from exposure or it can be reversed to surround and use antiseptic air to push hazards away. HEPA filtration and UV light combine to kill all bacterial infections and a special control allows the entire room to be negatively pressured to offer the highest level of safety. The other main reason for the development of the system is the US government's concern and preparation for a Bioterrorism event. Many experts say that it is no longer a question of whether a major bioterrorist attack will occur, but when. "It is really a matter of time," says microbiologist Raymond Zilinskas of the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute in College Park, who participated in the UN's hunt for Iraq's biological weapons after the Gulf War. "I don't understand why it hasn't happened already." Return to the Air Safety System page. |
