A droplet infection suppression system includes an airflow generator capable of generating an airflow for separating a space into first regions, a first detector that detects human presence in each of the first regions, a second detector that detects coughing or sneezing in the space, and a controller which, when the second detector detects coughing or sneezing, controls the airflow generator to generate an airflow such that a second region including one or more first regions including a first region where human presence has been detected by the first detector is separated by the airflow from other regions.

The present disclosure relates to a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile infectious disease clinic, which is a booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic which makes it possible to assemble and disassemble a large number of mobile infectious disease clinics, that allows a test subject to be tested by a healthcare provider using an infectious disease test kit while exposure of the body parts is minimized and the healthcare provider and the test subject are isolated in the booth-type mobile infectious disease clinic, that performs sterilization of an infectious disease using an ultraviolet C (UV-C) lamp to reduce the time taken for disinfecting the clinic, and that allows the light radiation intensity of the UV-C lamp to be adaptively adjusted according to the body temperature of the test subject.

A personal pop-up pod includes an interior chamber formed by a connection of several panels: a front panel, a rear panel, left and right side panels, and a top panel. The personal pop-up pod also includes first and second arm apertures formed in the rear panel, a window in one of the side panels, and a zipper arranged to open and close the window. A bottom edge of the front panel includes an elastic strip so that the bottom edge of the front panel may closely conform around a region of a patient when the patient's head is located in the interior chamber. As such, the personal pop-up pod defines a containment that allows a patient to undergo a medical examination or medical procedure while protecting one or both of the caregiver and the patient from contamination of each other.

Devices, systems, and methods to treat an environment. The device includes a scent control material source. The device can also include a dehumidifier, humidifier, and one or more fans. The scent control material device is configured to output a scent control material (e.g., an oxidant) into the environment to reduce pathogens, dispose of scent molecules and their sources, and otherwise treat the environment. The device can include a controller communicatively coupled to the scent control material source, dehumidifier, humidifier, and one or more fans. The controller can implement operational programs dictating at least one output of the device. The device can also function in a cyclical or periodic mode in which an output of the device can be varied to more effectively treat the environment. In examples, the controller can operate in conjunction with a remote control to regulate output parameters of the device.

A disposable pathogen containment device including a support frame structure. An enclosure made of a substantially air-tight flexible sheet material is mounted to the support frame structure. At least an access port is disposed in the enclosure with at least one of the at least an access port being adapted for enabling transmission of air into the enclosure. A suction structure is mounted to the enclosure. The suction structure comprises a suction connecting port adapted for being connected to a suction source and a suction conduit connected to the suction connecting port. The suction conduit comprises at least a suction opening for removing air from inside the enclosure. The at least a suction opening is placed such that air containing pathogen emitted from a pathogen emitting source disposed inside the enclosure is drawn away from the at least an access port.

A collapsible air isolation apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a collapsible frame including a base and a set of rigid panel elements at least partially enclosing a volume of space, where the set of rigid panel elements is foldably hinged to at least one of the base or another of the rigid panel elements, and where at least one panel of the set of rigid panel elements comprises an open space for mounting a motor for moving air. The apparatus may include the motor for moving air configured to create a negative pressure within the volume of space of the collapsible frame.

Implementations of a respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprise a side surface, an upper surface, and one or more access openings and ventilation openings, and in some implementations may further comprise a lower surface. In some implementations, a method of using the respiratory isolation enclosure for patients comprises positioning and enclosing a patient with an infectious disease in the respiratory enclosure to respiratorily isolate the patient and prevent the spread of the disease from the patient to healthcare providers or other persons.

A system configured to create a self-contained negative pressure environment (SCONE) to remove airborne particulates emitted from a patient. The system prevents exposure to pathogenic biological airborne particulates during triage, transportation, and treatment, including aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) and end of life care. This system is directed to a collapsible device having a flexible cover covering two support members, with openings in the flexible cover such that medical professionals can reach in and operate within. The present invention is further adaptable to patients and operating environments of various sizes.

An aerosol containment enclosure is used to isolate an air mass immediately surrounding a patient known or suspected to have a disease which may be transmitted through the air. The enclosure cooperates with a patient support apparatus (PSA). In embodiments, a flexible rod supports a substantially aerosol impermeable covering and is connected to the PSA. The enclosure may be semi-rigid and collapsible to a predetermined collapsed shape. The enclosure may be rapidly erected around a patient in an ambulance or other treatment setting. Embodiments of couplers provide compatibility with a wide diversity of sized and shaped PSAs. One coupler is connectable to the PSA with a coupler end exposed along a frame and upwardly extensible toward a PSA surface. A connector extends from the flexible rod and engages with the coupler end. The coupler may be longitudinally or laterally adjustable along the PSA.

Apparatuses and methods for defining an isolation area around an individual. Such an apparatus includes a frame having two opposing and spaced-apart side walls, an interior region within an interior of the apparatus and defined by and between the side walls, and one or more connecting members spanning the interior region and coupling the opposing side walls. Isolation barriers are coupled to the frame and extend outwardly from the interior region. The isolation barriers are configured to define an isolation zone surrounding the interior region that corresponds with the isolation area around an individual located within the interior region. An opening is providing for access by the individual to and from the interior region within the frame.
