WHAT IS AIR FILTRATION?
While environmental decontamination and hand hygiene are universally
recognised to reduce the risk of infections and keep people safe, adequate
ventilation is vital for ensuring the air within workplaces & shared spaces is safe.
Aerosols and droplets carry infectious microorganisms in the air that spread
infections within poorly ventilated spaces. There is also the risk of particulates and
odours triggering allergies or discomfort.
Viruses like Influenza, Norovirus and Coronaviruses can spread through the
air via droplets and aerosols (which are released when talking, coughing or
sneezing), potentially infecting other people or landing on and contaminating
surfaces. E ective air filtration devices such as Rediair can help remove these
microorganisms and particulates from the air, using specialised filters known
as HEPA filters. Air filtration devices draw the air through the machine, trap
the pollutants within the HEPA filters and blow clean air back into the room,
significantly increasing the air quality.
BENEFITS OF AIR FILTRATION
Using portable HEPA filters can reduce the risk of inhaling viable pathogens within
a poorly ventilated area. Unlike traditional air filtration systems found in shared
spaces, portable air filtration devices give you the flexibility to provide clean air
where & when you need it.
Air filtration devices can capture a variety of contaminants such as:
Airborne pathogens (bacteria, fungi & viral aerosols)
Fine and ultra-fine particles
Pet dander

AIR FILTRATION IN THE WORKPLACE
In recent years, presenteeism has become an issue for industries worldwide. In
the past, illnesses would a ect the workplace as sta would stay home, lowering
productivity and staggering the pace of businesses and institutions.
However, in today’s world, people are turning up to work sick, which risks
spreading infections and posing more of a risk to the people we work alongside.
The increase of presenteeism makes good ventilation more of a necessity than
ever before. On top of this, COVID-19 variants like Delta & Omicron are prominent,
so having e ective air filtration within your workspace can help reduce the number
of microorganisms in the air, contributing to a cleaner working environment.
REDIAIR
Designed by an infection prevention expert, Rediair is a portable air purification
device that captures 99.995% of particles as small as 0.3“m. Rediair’s core consists
of two HEPA 14 carbon filters that are 10x more e ective than HEPA 13 filters (the
market standard).
The nylon pre-filters, composite carbon cloth and HEPA 14 filters capture
particulates, expelling purified air back into the room, providing up to 5 air
changes an hour within a space up to 120m–. Rediair’s four di erent operating
modes and a small form factor allow Rediair to be used almost anywhere, from
waiting rooms, o ices and meeting rooms to small, enclosed spaces like dental
treatment rooms.
Rediair is an incredibly subtle air filtration device; ultra-quiet fans and light
reduction settings mean that Rediair can operate without distraction. While the
internal mechanisms are complex, using Rediair is quite the opposite. The smart
air quality indicator can
read the quality of the
surrounding air and start
decontamination within
seconds of activation.
