Aseptizer CW1000 FLEX

1. Fundamental Operating Principle of Aseptizer CW1000 Flex

Thanks to the architecture embedded in its automation infrastructure, the device operates in two different pressure regimes. In Negative Pressure Mode, it draws in the room air, renders it safe, and discharges that component to the outside, preventing infected air from escaping into the corridor. In Positive Pressure Mode, it filters fresh air and supplies it into the room, making it impossible for contaminated outside air to infiltrate.

2. Positive Pressure Operating Mode (PROTECTION)

• Purpose: To prevent the entry of particles, bacteria, and viruses into the room from the outside environment or the corridor.
• How It Works: The room pressure is maintained higher than that of the corridor and the outside environment. When the door is opened, the clean air inside that the Aseptizer CW1000 has treated flows outward, and the entry of contaminated outside air is physically prevented. The indoor air is kept free of microorganisms and particles at all times.

3. Negative Pressure Operating Mode (ISOLATION)

• Purpose: To prevent infected, odorous, or hazardous air in the same room from spreading into the building, outside the building, and into the corridors.
• How It Works: The room air is continuously maintained under negative pressure. The air inside the room is purified by being passed through H14 HEPA, UVC, and UVION plasma layers. While a portion is filtered and recirculated indoors, the 600 m³/h component is safely discharged to the outside of the building, free of microorganisms.

In Which Situations Is Aseptizer CW1000 Flex Negative/Positive Pressure Room Use Frequently Preferred?

• Open Wound and Severe Tissue Infections (Gas Gangrene) Surgical Areas
• Chemical & Toxic Drug Spill Accidents and Laboratories (Cytotoxic Chemotherapy, Solvents, Biological Contamination, etc.)
• Surgical and Interventional Clinics Used on a Rotational Basis
• Patient Isolation and Negative Isolation Rooms Used on a Rotational Basis
• ... etc.

Intended Uses

• Bidirectional Risk Management: Switching the same room instantly, with a single touch, to Negative Isolation or Positive Protection mode as needed.
• Eliminating Heavy Odor and Bio-Load Without Accumulation: Neutralizing heavy organic odors and pathogens released during gas gangrene or necrotic wound care.
• Performing Emergency Chemical and Biological Evacuation: Rapidly discharging carcinogenic spills and vapors, etc., that may occur during drug preparation to the outside of the building via Emergency Negative Mode.

Where Is It Used?

• Infectious Diseases Departments: In the rooms of inpatients suspected of having a contagious disease.
• Intensive Care Units (ICU): For ICUs with space constraints that need to be used for both positive and negative isolation purposes.
• Emergency Department Triage Rooms: For converting normal positive isolation rooms in triage areas into negative isolation rooms with a single touch during pandemic, etc., outbreak cases.
• Biosafety Laboratories: When emergency chemical and biological evacuation is required, and carcinogenic spills and vapors that may occur during drug preparation must be rapidly removed.
• Surgical and Interventional Rooms used on a rotational basis.
• Etc.

Areas Where Aseptizer CW1000 Flex Can Be Applied

Aseptizer CW1000 Flex can be used especially in areas without a central HVAC installation system, where air ducting cannot be routed due to low ceiling height, in areas where an environment independent of the general central system is desired to be created on its own, and in all types of isolation-purpose areas where continuous re-processing of the ambient air or reinforcement of local air hygiene is required. It is also successfully used in hygienic air modernization of old buildings without disrupting the building architecture.

Aseptizer CW1000 Flex is especially used in confined areas where both isolation and protection functions are desired to be solved with a single device, in compounding laboratories requiring emergency accident and odor management, and in clinical centers where rotational patient monitoring is performed.

Application-Oriented Scenarios for Aseptizer CW1000 Flex

• Sudden Severe Infection and Biological Risk (Gas Gangrene, etc.):
  Although rare, anaerobic/spore-forming infectious cases such as gas gangrene (Clostridium perfringens) and open wound infections carry both a high contamination risk and emit heavy organic odors that are difficult to tolerate in the environment. At this point, even if the environment has been positively pressurized, it is instantly switched to negative pressure due to the situation at hand.
• Chemical / Toxic Substance Leakage and Accidental Spill Situations:
  In chemotherapy drug preparation areas, compounding laboratories, or treatment rooms, emergency intervention is required in the event of a spill of volatile, toxic, or carcinogenic chemicals (cytotoxic drugs, formaldehyde, solvents). Since these gases are hazardous and must not spread to the outside environment, the environment must be urgently drawn into negative pressure.
• Surgical and Interventional Rooms Used on a Rotational Basis:
  In an elective gallbladder or orthopedic prosthesis surgery performed under standard conditions, the operating room environment is operated under positive pressure. In this mode, the primary purpose is to protect the surgical field and the patient by preventing the entry of microbiological particles and dust that may come from the outside area. However, an operational risk arises if a patient requiring emergency surgical intervention also carries respiratory-transmitted pathogens such as Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis. During such surgery performed in a positively pressurized environment, there is a risk that infectious agents dispersed from the patient's respiration may spread to surgeons, other physicians, nurses, and even throughout the building, to sterile corridors and other operating rooms. This situation constitutes a serious biological hazard for healthcare personnel and other patients.
