Mostellar Medical Center Takes New Step in Ensuring Patient Safety
*Installation of ActivePure's air and surface disinfection technology protects multiple areas throughout the center*
*IRVINGTON, AL / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2023 / *Mostellar Medical Center, an Alabama-based community health center offering multiple healthcare services, announced today the deployment of ActivePure Technology throughout its facility. ActivePure Technology is proven to be effective against clinically relevant pathogens. The installation includes four ActivePure air and surface devices designed to protect indoor spaces and provide employees, patients and their families confidence that the air they breathe and surfaces they touch are being continuously treated by this technology.
Under the pressure of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mostellar Medical turned to supplemental technologies to provide patients with a safer environment of care. With higher-than-normal patient volumes and labor challenges, Mostellar's team knew they needed to find a solution that did not require additional staff. In an effort to address this challenge, the Mostellar Medical Center team acted by installing ActivePure's comprehensive air and surface purification system. This system works to continuously reduce harmful pathogens in both the air and on surfaces without adding additional labor.
The team chose ActivePure Technology, an advanced air and surface purification system that uses patented and proven technology to provide active, 24/7 disinfection in healthcare settings. The ActivePure units were installed in four separate areas throughout the medical center that were most at risk for exposure to COVID-19. These areas include two of the main waiting areas, the X-Ray room where a majority of COVID-19 cases are diagnosed, and a conference room frequently used to train staff.
"We are proud of our investment to provide an added layer of protection for the environment of care for our patients and staff with the installation of ActivePure," said Raymond Broughton, M.D., medical director of Mostellar Medical. "Our priority is to provide our patients with the best care and, in turn, the best environments of care, and we are excited to fulfill that goal with ActivePure's help."
The installation was facilitated with the help of ActivePure's healthcare-focused brand, ActivePure Medical, to provide the best solution for the medical center's needs.
"Our team is honored to be supporting Mostellar Medical Center in their commitment to provide protected environments for staff and patients alike. It brings us great satisfaction to enhance their mission of delivering the highest quality of healthcare services to the community," said Joe Urso, CEO and chairman of ActivePure Technologies LLC. "Our focus with ActivePure Technology is to help protect patients and staff in healthcare institutions who are at high risk of infectious disease. ActivePure Technology is designed to improve air quality, creating a healthier environment - which is of critical importance in medical settings."
ActivePure Technology is a unique, patented technology that recreates the naturally occurring process of photolysis, the sun's natural power of cleaning and disinfecting outdoor air inside through Advanced Photocatalysis. ActivePure has been proven in multiple independent laboratory testing to reduce over 99.9% of bacteria, fungi, mold and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the viruses that cause COVID-19.
