Innova Technology Solutions Mysore P Ltd., a leading technology solutions provider for Healthcare and Inov8 Science Limited, a UK based Award Winning Technology Company have now introduced  Inov8 Air Disinfection (Inov8 AD) Solution, which provides microbiological air disinfection treatment.

The Inov8 Air Disinfection Technology for providing safe and effective air disinfection in all indoor environments has been successfully tested. The product has been installed at Apollo Hospitals, M S. Ramaiah Medical College, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Chest Diseases, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and others.

According to Javier Segura, Managing Director, Inov8 Science Limited, UK, air disinfection addresses many major challenges of the Healthcare Industry such as staff sickness, ward closure, reduced bed capacity, delayed elective admissions and delayed medical procedures. All these factors reduce the quality of care and impose a heavy financial burden on hospitals.

Inov8 will be a revelation for Indian health sector. Infections typically add an average of three to ten days to a patient’s stay in the hospital, causing an issue for both the patients and the hospitals. “With infrastructure being an issue of concern, we feel that more hospitals could benefit from Inov8 AD Unit, particularly considering the evidence relating to their effect. We look forward to seeing the adoption of this AD technology in India,” stated Madhava Murthy, director ITS Mysore.

The AD Unit generates hydroxyl radicals (OH) at levels that mimic atmospheric concentrations. The natural bio-cidal effect of OH, while harmless to humans, is extremely effective against bacteria, fungi and viruses in health care settings as well as all other closed environments. Measuring less than 41 x 20cm, the AD Unit is a small wall-mountable device intended for all locations susceptible to pathogen proliferation, and can effectively cover an area of more than 1000 sq ft.

ITS Mysore, a technology solutions provider to healthcare segment in India for improving the medical services to the patients, offers various cost effective solutions in the areas of Trans-telephonic ECG, Integration of medical equipments for quick and accurate recording of investigation reports, Picture Archival and Reporting Systems to enable the doctors examine the medical images etc. Air Disinfection Unit is the latest initiative of the company, to eliminate infection in closed spaces like Intensive Care Units, Operation Theatres, Wards etc., by reducing the bio-burden by eliminating viruses, bacteria and fungi.
