Eirva IB1A Solves Care Home Misery

Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) and Ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation are powerful air purification technologies that work together to neutralise odours and airborne contaminants commonly found in care homes. PCO uses a UV-activated catalyst, typically titanium dioxide, to trigger a chemical reaction that breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bacteria, mould spores, and odour molecules into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water vapour. When combined with UV-C irradiation, which effectively destroys the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, this process ensures that odour-causing pathogens are not only neutralised but also prevented from multiplying. This dual-action approach is particularly effective in care environments, where persistent smells from incontinence, bodily fluids, cleaning agents, and food preparation can affect comfort and dignity.

The Eirva IB1A is specifically designed to address these challenges through its advanced, real-time localised purification system. Unlike conventional air purifiers that treat large spaces indiscriminately, the IB1A targets specific areas where odours originate, ensuring faster and more effective odour removal. Its compact form and quiet operation make it ideal for use in individual rooms or shared living spaces, without disturbing residents or staff. The integration of PCO and UV-C within the IB1A allows for continuous air sanitisation, reducing the microbial load in the environment while maintaining a fresh, neutral atmosphere. By responding dynamically to changes in air quality, the Eirva IB1A not only improves hygiene and comfort but also supports the overall wellbeing of care home residents and caregivers.
