Innovation No : 3203396
Dated : 06-10-2023
Type : Innovation
Amid COVID'19 spread, a fully functional Class N Negative Pressure Chamber (NPC) named AirVac 400 was completely developed in-house at DIC@IUST. A negative pressure chamber, also known as an isolation chamber, is a type of hospital chamber that keeps patients with infectious diseases away from other patients and healthcare workers. It includes ventilation that creates a negative pressure (pressure lower than ambient pressure) to allow air to flow into the isolation chamber but not escape from the chamber. This technique is used to isolate patients with airborne infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and COVID. Patent has been filed in 2019 under application number 202111000579 at India Patent Office.
