IoT-enabled Mobile Modular HEPA Unit – MMHU (REF:C-0048)
E&M InnoPortal Trial Project Ref. No.:

Overview

In the combat against COVID-19, healthcare facilities were in urgent need of negative-pressure special treatment areas for patients. To meet the huge demand for negative-pressure wards in hospitals and community treatment facilities within a short timeframe, the IoT-enabled Mobile Modular HEPA Unit (MMHU) was specifically designed. It is a mobile air purification unit equipped with High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter.

Problem Addressed

The MMHU addresses the pressing and huge need for air filtration in healthcare settings. It can filter 99.97% of fine suspended particulates measuring 0.3 microns. Compared with general household air purifiers, it offers a filtration rate ten times higher, providing a medical-grade filtration efficiency. This unit can quickly convert a general ward into a negative-pressure ward or serve as a recirculating HEPA air cleaner in any indoor settings such as communities, hospitals and clinics. It can operate in different modes, such as circulation mode for air filtration of general wards and exhaust mode for converting general wards into "Tier-2 isolation wards".
Innovation

The MMHU is equipped with either H13 HEPA filter or H14 HEPA filter, tested and certified to capture 99.97% of fine suspended particulates measuring 0.3 microns. The unit consists of a high-performance EC fan with a high-efficient IE4 motor producing a peak rated airflow up to 500 L/s. It is also designed for a long-lasting performance with 60,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.
Key Benefits
  • Significantly reduces cost and time required to convert a general ward into a negative-pressure ward, thereby achieving a high benefit cost ratio
  • Allows for monitoring equipment status and environmental parameters, enabling early data collection and facilitating predictive maintenance and resource planning
Patent and Award
  • Short-term Patent: HK30032947
  • International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva 2022 (Silver Medal)
  • Excellence in Team Collaboration – Management of Crisis (Silver Prize)
  • IEC60601-1-2 Standard certificate from SGS
