Portable in-room isolation system for infected patients. Quickly transforms any patient room into a negative pressure isolation room.

The Abatement Technologies® HC500FD HEPA-CARE® air purification system can be used to transform a patient room into a negative pressure isolation room that meets CDC and CSA standards. The HC500FD floor-standing model is equipped with a tested and certified H14 HEPA filter that captures at least 99.995% of microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns. Depending on the configuration, these cost-effective units can typically provide 12 ACH or more in rooms up to 2,500 to 3,000 cubic feet when used in negative pressure mode.

When not used for negative pressure patient isolation, the versatile HC500FD can function as a recirculating HEPA air purifier, reducing the number of airborne pathogens in high-risk areas such as emergency waiting rooms and treatment areas.

Air laden with deadly and infectious airborne pathogens is drawn through two filtration stages:

A 2″ particle pre-filter treated with a microbial growth inhibitor (standard)

A pharmaceutical-grade HEPA filter with a silicone gel seal and anodized aluminum frame

Eliminate odors and gases with a VAPOR-LOCK® carbon filter

Optional VAPOR-LOCK® carbon pre-filters are available for the HC800FD or HC800FDUV to remove gaseous contaminants and odors from the air. These filters are used in place of the standard particulate pre-filter. 

Clean and sterilize the air with optional germicidal UV disinfection

The HC500FDUV includes four UVGI ultraviolet germicidal lamps that emit germicidal ultraviolet light to inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses. These lamps irradiate the filtered air before it is exhausted to an external environment or recirculated within the facility. The UVGI lamps must be factory-installed at the time of order. 

With thousands of units in operation, the state-of-the-art HEPA-CARE® series filtration systems have set an unparalleled record of reliable performance, operating 24/7/365. The new HC500 models feature the following:

Portability  – The narrow, upright design with two smooth-rolling fixed casters and two swivel casters with foot brakes facilitates deployment.
Powerful Airflow  – Energy-efficient motorized turbine rated for 100,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.
Unique Zero-Bypass Dual Cabinet Design  – Added assurance that contaminated air cannot bypass the HEPA filter.
Durable Cabinet  – Powder-coated aluminum and advanced assembly techniques create a refined appearance and are easy to decontaminate and maintain.
Safety Certification  – Certified as a Class II medical device per FDA 510K and NRTL certified to meet relevant UL and CSA safety standards.
Control Panel  – Intuitive digital touchscreen.
Export Version  – A 230V/50-60Hz model is available for overseas customers.

 Long-Life HEPA Filter with Heavy-Duty Aluminum Frame

Each pharmaceutical-grade HEPA filter from Abatement Technologies® is individually tested and certified to the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology’s IEST-RP-CC001 standard to provide a minimum filtration efficiency of 99.995% against a 0.3-micron aerosol. The high-performance HEPA filter is mounted in a robust anodized aluminum frame that resists deformation and inhibits microbial growth.

The silicone gel seal protects against the bypass of contaminated air

A downward-facing flange fits into a silicone gel seal, creating a channel that forces air through the HEPA filter and protects against the risk of contaminated air bypassing the filter.

Hinged door for quick filter replacement

The hinged front door is secured with two Phillips head screws and provides quick access to the HEPA filter and 2-inch particle pre-filter for replacement or maintenance.
