Infection Prevention & Control in Hospital and Healthcare Settings

Air Source Technology, Inc. is an active member of APIC (Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.) ASTI has the engineering background and expertise to properly examine the following factors:

  • Ventilation system and water system performance
  • Differential pressure verification for isolation rooms
  • Proper use of dust-control procedures and barriers during construction, renovation, repairs, demolition
  • Use of airborne particulate sampling to monitor effectiveness of air filtration and dust control procedures, including statistically valid interpretation
  • Routine culturing of water as part of a control program for Legionella
  • Guidance in recovering from water leaks, and natural disasters

Hospital/Healthcare Construction, Renovation, or Repair

Construction personnel along with hospital personnel are responsible for providing a safe environment for both patients and staff during construction activities. We will provide the tools needed to maintain a safe operating patient environment to eliminate infection control issues.
