Corrosion Control in Healthcare Facilities

Quality Air Treatment for Critical Medical Instruments

In today’s times, timely diagnosis is pivotal for a patient’s well-being. With rapidly growing innovations, medical instruments have simplified clinical diagnosis/analysis for medical practitioners. Thus, the quality and reliability of medical reports are paramount for the patient as well as for the healthcare facilities.

Huge investments are made by healthcare facilities and hospitals to procure sophisticated medical instruments and imaging solutions such as CT scanners, X-ray machines, and MRI machines. It is of utmost importance to get accurate reports for correct diagnosis and medical treatment. For this, the instruments should be in the best of health and surrounded by a clean environment to produce accurate results.

Clean Environment for Sensitive Environment

The powerful yet sensitive instruments are vulnerable to the environment. Safety is essential to them. The facility incharge should maintain all the instruments. To do this, one has to ensure the proper environment for the medical instruments as part of the equipment maintenance procedure. Prudent procedures are to be followed to ensure a good and clean environment. The following checks are to be made:

• Temperature fluctuations to prevent condensation
• Humidity level to prevent moisture
• Presence of harmful gases

Vulnerable Areas Due to Electronic Corrosion

• MRI Rooms
• CT scan room and control room
• Ultrasound
• Angiography system
• Operation theatre
• Intensive-care equipment
• Blood bank instruments

Temperature fluctuations and high humidity amplify the problem. The high-intensity electrical equipment generates heat which can lead to condensation due to temperature fluctuations. The frequent door opening can bring the outside polluted air into the diagnostic rooms, housing this sophisticated equipment.

The presence of hazardous chemicals at different temperatures may react and make the environment corrosive. Nearby open drains, sewage systems, heavy traffic zones, and industrial pollution pollute the surroundings. The polluted air can travel to the facility and cause micro-corrosion in the equipment. Hence, it is essential to set up an air filtration/purification system that filters hydrocarbon pollutants, VOCs, chemically active compounds and eliminates airborne contaminants.

Clean Air for IVF

Often overlooked, air quality plays a vital role in IVF centres. These IVF labs stock chemicals like styrene, formaldehyde, toluene, etc., which contaminates the air. Contaminated air is harmful to the embryo’s growth and development. Ensuring the optimal environment for the embryo and thereby maintaining stable pregnancy outcomes.

The Most Effective Way of Removing Airborne Molecular Contamination

Bry-Air Gas Phase Filtration Systems protect electronic equipment and devices from the threat of abrupt failures due to corrosive gases. It reduces downtime by removing corrosive gases through the process of adsorption and chemisorption. It is designed to maintain the ANSI/ISA-71.04-2013 standard, IEC standards and various other environmental standards followed by electronics manufacturers.

These GPF systems also neutralise odourous gases and make the environment comfortable for humans.

Bry-Air: A Step Ahead, Always

Bry-Air is the only Gas Phase Filtration Company in India having its own R&D and Testing Lab for granular media and chemical filters. Backed by world-class technology and systems, the laboratory is capable of testing the performance of impregnated/non-impregnated loose granular media and impregnated/non-impregnated air cleaning devices such as chemical filters, under one roof. The tests are conducted as per ISO/ASHRAE Standard 145.1 and BSR/ASHRAE Standard 145.2/ISO Standard 11155-2 guidelines. The core objectives of the tests are to assess the performance and efficiency of loose granular sorptive media and chemical filters in any particular application.
