What We Do
Elevate Airborne Safety in Your Practice
At Claerosol, our mission is to address the critical issue of airborne transmission in healthcare settings, particularly in dental and medical environments. The prePaer AER air purifier system is designed to tackle the persistent challenge of airborne pathogens—tiny particles that can linger in the air for hours and travel significant distances, posing a risk of infection to everyone in the vicinity.
Despite the extensive measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, experts continue to highlight that controlling airborne transmission remains a major unmet clinical need. Our prePaer AER air purifier system actively neutralizes airborne threats at their source, preventing them from dispersing throughout the environment. This system provides an essential layer of protection that complements traditional PPE and local engineering controls, safeguarding not only clinicians but also patients and office staff from potential infections.
Think of it as the plug-and-play solution equivalent to an expensive hospital-grade negative pressure room—compact, efficient, and effective.
Understanding the Risks:
Aerosols, Bioaerosols, and Airborne Transmission
Aerosols and Bioaerosols: Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles that are small enough to remain suspended in the air for extended periods. When these particles contain biological material, such as viruses, bacteria, or fungi, they are referred to as bioaerosols. In healthcare settings, bioaerosols are particularly concerning because they can carry pathogens capable of causing infections. These minute particles can be generated during routine medical and dental procedures, such as drilling, cleaning, or even talking and coughing. Once airborne, they can travel varying distances, potentially lingering in the air and posing a risk to anyone who breathes them in.
Airborne Transmission: Airborne transmission occurs when infectious particles, including bioaerosols, are inhaled by individuals, leading to the spread of diseases. This mode of transmission is particularly dangerous because it can occur even when the source of the infection is not in close proximity. Poor ventilation exacerbates the risk, allowing these particles to accumulate and circulate within indoor environments. In spaces where ventilation is insufficient, these pathogens can remain airborne for hours, significantly increasing the likelihood of transmission. This underscores the importance of effective air management and remediation systems in protecting both patients and healthcare providers from airborne threats.
Our Solution: The prePaer AER System
Key Features of the prePaer AER System:
To effectively combat the risks associated with airborne transmission, Claerosol offers the prePaer AER System—an advanced air-handling solution specifically designed for healthcare settings. This system works by containing and neutralizing airborne particles at the source, preventing them from spreading within the environment.
Our prePaer AER Air Purifier System provides:
Active Air Remediation:
Continuously purifies the air by capturing and removing harmful particles, ensuring a safer environment for both patients and healthcare providers.
Seamless Integration:
Designed to work alongside existing PPE and ventilation systems without disrupting clinical workflows.
Enhanced Protection:
Acts as an additional safeguard, reducing the reliance on complex and expensive infrastructure like negative pressure rooms.
Pioneering Airborne Safety
A Breath of Fresh AER: The Science Behind the System
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, is highly infectious and can spread through aerosol transmission. This occurs when an infected person exhales, talks, sneezes, or coughs, releasing viral particles into the air. These particles can travel more than 6 feet, particularly indoors and in low-humidity conditions (below 40%), and can remain airborne for extended periods, posing a risk to anyone who breathes them in.
Notably, a significant portion of COVID-19 transmission occurs through asymptomatic individuals—people who show no symptoms but are still capable of spreading the virus. The CDC estimates that over 50% of virus spread is due to these asymptomatic carriers.
The Importance of Ventilation in Infection Control
Improving ventilation is a critical component of a comprehensive strategy to reduce airborne virus concentrations in indoor spaces. When integrated with well-maintained ventilation systems, the prePaer AER air purifier system plays a vital role in limiting the spread of airborne infections, protecting unvaccinated and vulnerable workers in particular.
