Anew approach to help HOSPITALS MANAGE , INFECTIOUS DISEASES The AGEMA technology platform revolutionises the conversion or creation of positive pressure or negative pressure critical care room in a rapid, economical and sustainable way.

Delivering quality of care has always been the priority of hospitals and health care establishments. The need to ensure the safety of both patients and healthcare workers from airborne infectious risks throughout their entire infrastructure is now also a major priority with the increase of Infectious Disease (ID) and Immunocompromised patients. AGEMA combines two functions that are essential for protection against airborne infectious and CBRN risks: - Guarantees a pressure cascade between the room and the surrounding areas. - Reduces the concentration of airborne particles in the room....

NEGATIVE PRESSURE AIRBORNE INFECTION ISOLATION For a room set up to manage the risk of airborne infection, the adjoining areas are protected from the contaminated room air and benefit from a continuous supply of H14 filtered air. The nursing environment becomes safer and more comfortable. ROOM AIR EXTRACTED ROOM AIR

POSITIVE PRESSURE IMMUNO COMPROMISED PROTECTION In the case of vulnerable patients housed close to other patients with infectious pathologies, the pressure cascade provides an “aeraulic safety bubble” and greatly reduces the risk of airborne nosocomial infections. ROOM AIR SUPPLY OF FILTERED AIR

AGEMA has been designed with the day-to-day life of healthcare workers in mind, to enable them to work not only freely with patients but also safely. The entire surface area of the corridor and room remains accessible for care, thanks to the ventilation systems being positioned near the ceiling. Patient monitoring is made easier with the integration of an oculus with liquid crystal occultation for greater privacy and confidentiality. « Last September we had a pregnant mother suffering from Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis who was about to give birth. Thanks to the Agema room installed in...

Patient comfort is guaranteed thanks to a silent, draught-free air handling technology. Comfort at night is ensured thanks to the night mode, with automatic safety restart, providing an even quieter functioning night set-back mode, while maintaining biological safety and reducing energy consumption. Continuous monitoring of air quality in the room (ISO class, pressure cascade, air change rates, fine particles, VOCs, CO2, etc.). « Before the installation of Agema in our ward, we were constantly on high alert when we had an infectious patient. Now the medical team has peace of mind because...

(Re)Organising hospitals to meet public health challenges The AGEMA solution has been designed to integrate easily into all types of configurations, whether for renovation projects or new builds. The absence of air ducts simplifies the hospital's internal architecture and opens up new possibilities for scalability in the event of future organisational or structural changes. For anything from a single room to an entire ward, AGEMA can be deployed with autonomous ventilated and pressurised airlocks. It adapts to your requirements and offers total flexibility of use.

« We had to move our entire haematology ward to a new ward so we could add capacity. Agema made this operation possible thanks to the simplification of the air handling system and the independence of each room system. Not only that, it was also much more energy efficient than our other solutions.» For refurbishment projects, AGEMA exclusive patented air treatment technology makes it possible to bring critical care rooms into compliance, without prolonged interruption of activity, at considerably lower cost and energy consumption than traditional methods. ► OR AN ENTIRE WARD * Scenario example

Over and above the architectural and organisational benefits it provides, AGEMA's flexibility and scalability offers new opportunities for investment and reducing energy costs. Time savings : AGEMA can be installed in as quickly as 24 hours. A single room can even be equipped without service interruption. In this way, the hospital maintains its activity and income. CAPEX becomes OPEX: AGEMA is a reusable solution that can be moved from one room to another. It can be financed under a long-term leasing contract with maintenance and servicing included. Tomorrow's hospital will benefit from...

of performance guaranteed AGEMA guarantees air quality performance from ISO 7 up to ISO 5 when used with ASPIDA’s unique bedroom unidirectional flow system : - High air diffusion and air change rate. - Negative or positive pressure -15 to +15 Pa. AGEMA technology has been designed to ensure that HEPA filters (H14) last as long as possible, thanks to : - Ensuring extra capacity on the filter, - High positioning to protect them from heavy particles, - The presence of an economical pre-filter that is easy to replace without tools.

10 ROOMS in 8 WARDS in10 DAYS

Sensitive to the various epidemic episodes that have marked its history, Australia has implemented exacting safety protocols in its hospitals to avoid any contamination within hospital departments. Since its conception in 2020, the AGEMA technology has won over the Australian hospital system and has been deployed in various models up until the current model which is the most optimal solution that ASPIDA has ever offered. After converting 3 rooms in December 2022, the ASPIDA team returned to Melbourne to install the AGEMA system in a further 10 rooms, spread across 8 wards at the Royal...
