Air cleansing unit to tackle MRSA

air-con.jpgHospitals no longer need to worry regarding dealing with infections like MRSA, as a new device has been introduced that looks like a small air conditioner unit but has the power to tackle infection problems. This device draws in air and funnels it past ultraviolet bulbs which kill bacteria that have been shaken around the room by the normal comings and goings of patients and staff. Doctors believe that this device is ideal for instant isolation in whichever room required. You just take it, you wheel it into the room where it is needed, and then you have an isolation room. However some experts are skeptical about the idea. They are unconvinced about how readily MRSA can be passed on through the air.

Doctors believe that this device has potential not just in helping to tackle MRSA, but also other infections including C. difficile, drug-resistant TB and even pandemic flu.
