• The incidence of HAIs in Australia has been estimated to be circa 165,000 per year. (2)
• ​​For every 31 hospital patients in the US, one will have at least one healthcare associated infection. (5)
• 700 types of pathogen(6) can be found in dental plaque, including bacteria from the respiratory tract, all of which can potentially be released into the air. (7)
• ​​In the US, 5% of all patients develop an infection while in hospital. (8)
• WHO report that for every 100 hospitalised patients, an average of 7 in high-income and 10 in middle-income countries develop HAIs. ​

Airora offers world class safety for both patients and staff

​Covid-19 has been devastating for all types of healthcare facility around the world, reducing capacity and creating daunting backlogs. Protecting patients and staff from both air and surface borne pathogens, including any new threats as they develop, has become an ever more critical need.

​​Until recently, healthcare facilities have struggled to even modestly improve their infection defences by increasing ventilation and have typically fallen back on employing noisy, large, in-room air 'filters'.

However, the UK's SAGE committee assessed in-room air filters and concluded that, irrespective of type, they all take more than an hour to achieve a limited reduction in air borne (and no reduction in surface borne) pathogens, and can neither quickly respond to new sources of infection, nor provide a real time person to person infection barrier.

Then along came Airora. ​ Airora is NOT an air filter, Airoa is a hydroxyl diffuser which is 1,000+ times more effective than improved ventilation or any type of filter.

​Airora works by molecular diffusion, independently of air movement, creating a 24/7 real time person to person infection barrier and within minutes, not hours, inactivating all types of airborne pathogen throughout a room.

​And that's not all, Airora simultaneously inactivates all types of harmful pathogen from all surfaces, neutralises allergens and removes gaseous pollution, irritants and odours!

Nothing else comes close!

Airora vs Filters

Based on research by the UK Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and others, Airora's technology is 1000+ times more effective, and far faster, than that of any in-room air filter.​

That might seem surprising given that filters often claim reductions of 99.95% or even greater. However, such claims are for the removal of germs between the input and output of the device, not for the removal of germs throughout a room. Novoselac & Siegel 2009 suggest that circa 50%, rather than 99.95%, would be more accurate measured across a whole room!

Why the huge difference between SAGE's conclusions and the claims of filter manufacturers?

​The reason is simple; as the air in a room is constantly changing, and as by no means all of the air in the room at any one time will have passed through the filter, the efficiency of the filter itself has little bearing on the ability of a filter device to clean all of the air throughout a room.​

As Airora cleanses the air insitu, and works by molecular diffusion, it has none of the constraints that filters suffer from.

Public Health England measured Airora achieving a 99.9999% reduction in hard to kill airborne MS-2 virus in five minutes!

Healthcare benefits

Staff protected

​​Reduced cross infections

​Improved 
​air quality

​Patient reassurance

​Cost savings

Covid has demonstrated the dangers that staff face during an infectious outbreak, and the resulting resource challenges even after extensive precautions have been taken. 

Given the variety of conditions, and the number of patients they treat, hospital acquired infections (HAIs) are a continuing threat to patients and staff alike.

Medical facilities in urban areas face high levels of outdoor air pollution contaminating the air indoors.

By adopting Airora's cutting edge technology,  medical facilities can provide crucial  reassurance to staff and public alike.

On average, an HAI results in an additional nine day hospital stay, costing in excess of £3,000. 0.1% of HAIs result in expensive  litigation and circa 1% lead to an entire ward closure.

Airora protects staff from both airborne and surface contamination  during all types of  infectious outbreak.

​Airora cleanses all of the air and surfaces, providing real-time protection against all types of pathogen.​

​Airora breaks down or neutralises all common VOCs, irritants and allergens, providing clean, safe air for everyone.

​Airora can win the trust of patients, their families, and staff, ensuring everyone feels protected while in the hospital.

​PA Consulting has estimated an average annual cost saving in excess of £6,000 per Airora WFP300.

Airora deactivates ALL types of air and surface borne pathogen, without exception
