The present invention relates to a means of reducing exposure to aerosolized particulate pathogens thereby (1) safely increasing throughput, (2) increasing surgical flow rates and (3) improving surgical suite turnover times (i.e., limiting non-productive facility space utilization) through air quality monitoring, generally. Further, the present invention couples air quality sensors with real-time processing technology by combining algorithmic enabled and mechanical means of lowering risk levels of both patients, medical professionals and ancillary staff alike.

An isolation apparatus for the transport of a patient who is potentially infectious, who has been subjected to chemical or biological agents, such as SARS-CoV-2, or who is threatened by chemical/biological attack. The invention comprises a transparent or semi-transparent, generally tubular enclosure, having two opposite ends. Secured to each of the two opposite ends of this transparent or semi-transparent, tubular enclosure are a pair of end walls. Pass-through ports are provided to allow for introducing items, such as medicine, water, or medical tools, into the patient chamber without opening the apparatus.

The present invention relates to a covering 10 for a body part of a patient. The covering 10 comprising a plurality of transparent semi rigid sheet segments 14, a fastener 20 for connecting the plurality of sheet segments 14 together such that the sheet segments 14 support each other to form a self-supporting structure 12. The self-supporting structure 12 being suitable for covering the body part of a patient, thereby protecting medical professionals from harmful fluids or aerosols emanating from the patient.

A protective device to protect against pathogens comprises a protective housing that defines an interior space defined, a closable access opening to enter the interior space, a seating element that allows a passenger to sit in the interior space, and a chassis to move the protective device, wherein the protective device, in a closed state, seals the interior space in an airtight manner against an environment. A method to protect against pathogens comprises providing a protective device to a passenger, closing the protective device in an airtight manner, and moving the protective device. The protective device and/or the method may be used to protect a patient.

Technologies are described for providing safe and clean air and to prevent interchange of fluids or particulates between people in social situations through two or more distinct airflows generated and/or directed by various structures. An air safety system may receive pre-sanitized air and push through a guidance structure to create a low-velocity, clean air safe zone that prevents exchange of fluids and particulates within the zone and a high speed air shield to prevent injection of fluids and particulates from outside into the safe zone. The system may accommodate one or more persons in an open space of over a table/desk. A modular air safety system may generate a similar safe zone and air shield horizontally in a smaller scale for one or more people.

The present disclosure relates to a tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and more particularly, to a mobile infectious disease clinic, which is a tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic that makes it possible to promptly install a large number of mobile infectious disease clinics due to having mobility and being easy to install and remove, that allows a test subject to be tested by a healthcare provider using an infectious disease test kit while the test subject is isolated in the tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, the healthcare provider is outside the tent-type mobile infectious disease clinic, and exposure of the body parts is minimized, 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 portable and inflatable patient isolation chamber and stretcher system having an exoskeletal frame, which when inflated, forms a substantially tent contour enclosure when coupled to an inflatable flexible base. The exoskeletal frame has an apex section formed by a flexible apex conduit which is coupled to and in fluid communication with first and second flexible end conduits. The inflatable flexible base is connected to the exoskeletal frame and is in fluid communication with the exoskeletal frame for providing a flexible platform for the patient. A transparent envelope is secured to the exoskeletal frame and inflatable flexible base for forming a patient isolation chamber. When deflated, the flexible base can serve as a stretcher for transport of the patient.
