APSX-FD Fire Rated Air Pressure Stabiliser
APSX®-FD Fire Rated Air Pressure Stabiliser
The patented VARI-centric® range of Bespoke Air Pressure Stabilisers are purpose-designed for cleanenvironment,such as Operating Theatres, Isolation Rooms and Cleanrooms to control airbornecontamin-ationby controlling room pressure differentials.
The VARI-centric® balancing system accurately controls the differential air pressure between adjacent rooms, and the blades close fully as soon as the pressure differential drops below the required level.
This diverts the airflow to pass through an open door forcing back airborne contamination without the need to alter the air extract supply.Positive pressure of the Operating Theatres to protect them from the ingress of infectious agents passing through the open doors, by providing high air volume rates, is a well-established principle of hygiene and infection control, forming the fundamental principles on which Health Technical Memorandums HTM 03-01 & HTM 2025 are based.
Following the philosophy of HBN 4 Supplement 1: Isolation facilities in acute settings, Pressure Stabilisers are utilised to control the pressure differential between the Corridor and Isolation room. Within Cleanrooms they are used to facilitate the cascade of air pressures to maintain a sterile environment where facilities are conforming to ISO 14664-1 and BS 5295.
Apreco VARI-centric® Pressure Stabilisers and associated products are supplied as standard withSteriTouch®paint finish, utilising silver technology – which is already used extensively within the healthcare sector as an excellent anti-microbial protection in conjunction with good hygiene practices.
