Challenge

Every winter, the pediatric department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University treated a large number of children with fever and influenza. This kind of continuous full load or even overload operation also brings hidden dangers for diagnosis, treatment and infection control overall. Hundreds of children are treated every day, which produces a significant threat of pathogenic bacteria outburst, especially when small children are considered. Under unsatisfactory ventilation conditions, the pediatrics department, full of infected patients, is a source of nosocomial infections.

Solution

In this situation, the hospital leadership and the sensory control department met in an emergency meeting and decided to purchase two Genanos.  Genano’s unique air decontamination solution is based on electric filtration technology, that eliminates the micro-organisms, bacteria and viruses in the air.  Therefore, Genano air disinfection equipment solved the problem of air quality in the infusion, and it is recommendable for this kind of a situation.

Result

Genano eliminated the hidden danger of infections, improving the pediatric diagnosis and treatment environment. The infection rate decreased remarkably, and the medical staff's health safety has been protected.
