Without a vaccine to cure patients living with the coronavirus, hospitals have no choice but to quarantine anyone who tests positive. It’s proving harder than expected, considering how fast the infection can spread. In many cases, facilities lack the capacity and resources to accommodate everyone. That could change with what you find in this article. It explains how quick ship isolation rooms help medical facilities during COVID-19 flatten the curve. The blog also provides answers to the questions included below. 

What are quick ship isolation rooms?

Quick ship isolation rooms keep hospital patients with airborne infections separate from others to prevent cross-contamination and spreading risks. Quick and easy to install, the pre-engineered systems provide a clean-build alternative to traditional construction and allow flexible reconfiguration. The solutions also require little cutting or assembly, helping reduce contamination and ensure institutions working to eliminate an acute respiratory illness and remain Class IV ICRA guideline compliant. Alternative phrases used to describe the spaces range from negative pressure isolation rooms and portable isolation rooms to airborne infection isolation rooms.

Why are airborne infection isolation rooms vital?

Along with providing the best airborne infection protection, the systems remain easy to clean and versatile in design. It’s simple to expand, relocate, reuse, and can adapt to accommodate changes in demand. Units also have Center for Disease Control (CDC) approval, making them ideal to help medical facilities during COVID-19 contain the infection and flatten the curve. Essentially, healthcare applications can use the solutions as an effective precautionary measure when treating infected patients to avoid risking anyone’s health and safety or violating strict CDC standards. With the knowledge that there have been 250,000 and rapidly growing cases in the United States alone, it remains vital that hospitals have efficient access to airborne infection isolation rooms for the elimination of the pandemic.

Where are portable isolation rooms used?

While often used in the healthcare industry, these portable isolation rooms can help more than medical facilities during COVID-19. Other applications that would benefit from use on a temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent basis include:

  • Medical suppliers that provide essential personal protection equipment such as gloves, N95 masks, sanitizers, and ventilators
  • Personal care corporations with on-site manufacturing and distribution

Quick ship isolation room design considerations

To ensure the quick ship isolation rooms help medical facilities during COVID-19 meet specific requirements, you must think about integrating ventilation to maintain ≥12 ACH and doors to regulate access. Hospitals can opt to have multiple style windows integrated into the quick ship isolation rooms. The systems can also accommodate two different wall styles. Configurations up to 12’ or 17’ utilize:

  • Easy-to-clean, non-combustible wall panels made from durable aluminum that provides superior sound control
  • Up to four heavy-duty hospital-grade door styles to seal off the restricted areas, including:
  1. Anti-microbial has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of cleaning and facility maintenance costs while preventing viruses from spreading. It’s more suited to use in healthcare applications, especially hospitals caring for patients with weakened immune systems.
  2. Stainless with the stain and rust resistance necessary to maintain a clean look through years of heavy use.
  3. Impact options provide 24-hour protection against non-essential personnel and visitors while reducing outside noise.
  4. Sliding alternatives can improve energy efficiency and allow ventilation while making your space more functional.
  • Beveled or flush widows eliminate hard-to-clean edges that collect dust particles to simplify sanitation. Often made from glass, beveled windows are versatile and great for helping you maintain privacy. Flush-style windows typically have sleeker lines, helping to add pleasing aesthetics to your space.
  • Central or point-of-use HEPA fan filters that allow existing system integration and can remove particles 0.3 um in diameter for supply (incoming) air.
