What’s the Quality of Air in Your Healthcare Facility?
Air Purification is Needed in Healthcare Facilities
It is crucial to have effective air purification in any healthcare facility that sees numerous patients a day including:
These facilities are frequently visited by people who are sick or immuno-compromised and are thereby more susceptible to airborne contaminants. This is especially true for facilities that care for the elderly. Poor air quality and increased risk of exposure to airborne pathogens and contaminants such as viruses and bacteria can put patients and staff at risk for serious infection.
Having air purifiers in the building not only helps remove the contaminants emitted from furniture and heating/cooling sources but also helps to eliminate aerosol particles released from sick patients, protecting both patients and staff and providing everyone peace of mind.
CDC, WHO, and EPA Recommendations for Air Purification
According to the CDC, WHO, and EPA air purifiers using HEPA and Carbon are the safest and most effective solutions for minimizing the spread of viruses in indoor spaces. The Medical Grade HEPA technology used in our filters is proven to remove up to 99% of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.1 microns, as well as everyday pollutants such as dust, dander and allergens. Austin Air uses up to 15 lbs. of activated carbon and 60 sq. ft. of HEPA in our filters. No one else in the industry comes close to using that much.
The Austin Air Healthmate Plus™
The Austin Air Healthmate Plus™ Removes Up to 99.97% Of Airborne Contaminants in a Healthcare Setting
All of our units use the highest quality Medical Grade HEPA and carbon blend to effectively filter a wide range of contaminants, including chemicals and VOCs, allergens, dust, viruses, and bacteria. Our extended filter life (lasting up to five years) combined with our durable steel casing make Austin Air Purifiers the number one choice in all healthcare settings. No maintenance, no costly filter changes. Just plug it in and let it run 24/7.
Clinically Proven to Capture and Destroy Airborne Contaminants and Viruses
Our involvement in clinical trials started in 2001 when we were selected by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the country’s number one children’s hospital, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, to take part in a clinical trial to improve children’s asthma symptoms and reduce visits to the ER.
Since then we have been involved in a number of trials, working with some of the country's leading institutions, including Johns Hopkins University and the University of Washington. The results of these trials confirm what we have known for many years. Running an Austin Air purifier removes a wide range of airborne pollutants and will help to improve respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD.

What Our Doctors Say About Austin Air
“I implemented Austin to optimize indoor air quality specifically keeping contagions to a minimum, removing mold spores and toxins brought in by patients, and removing solvents and particulate matter from outdoor air pollutions. Keeps our facility safe for chronically ill and asthma patients. I recommend your products to patients several times daily.”
- Dr. Julie Barter
“As a healthcare provider, I am concerned with airborne toxins because of their negative effects on overall health and their impacts on perpetuating chronic disease. I understand the health benefits of clean air and know how polluted our air is. After using the Austin Air Healthmate and Healthmate Plus, though, I noticed the air felt fresher and I did less dusting… I wouldn't go without them.”
- Dr. Melonni Dooley, ND
“I implemented Austin Air purifiers at my facility to create safe space for patients and staff at our vision clinic during the pandemic. To reassure patients that our office is using the best technology to filter the air and reduce risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission… I love having the unit at our office. It's worked flawlessly 24/7 for the past year and a half.”
- Dr. Susan Roh
"When the world shut down… I immediately looked for ways to make people feel safer in our clinic… I was incredibly grateful to find Austin Air. I bought two bedroom machines- one for my clinic and one for my home. In my clinic, our bedroom machine runs twenty-four hours a day. We keep it in the high traffic area… near the check in/out area… Besides being outdoors, no air is cleaner than in my clinic."
- Dr. J. L. Mierzwa
"I'm a functional medicine physician treating environmental illness. I purchased multiple units for my home and office...I live in Denver where wildfire smoke and other pollution are constant issues."
- Janet Settle MD PC

Australian study finds HVAC systems are not enough when it comes to Covid-19
A recent study from Melbourne in Australia set out to learn more about how Covid-19 is transmitted in hospitals and what can be done to protect nurses and other members of staff. This study came about as a number of nurses became infected with the virus, even if they had not been in close contact with Covid -19 patients and were wearing the correct PPE. Tracking airflow helps to understand Covid-19 risk The aim of the study was to track...
Advice from the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
As the pandemic continues to evolve, we take a look at HEPA. Why it’s so effective at removing viruses such as Covid-19 from the environment. And why the CDC recommends the use of HEPA air filtration in a variety of settings. How does HEPA capture viruses such as Covid-19 that are smaller than 0.3 microns? When discussing HEPA, we often talk about its ability to capture particles that are 0.3 microns in size. Why particles of this size specifically? This...
The CDC recommends HEPA filtration in dental surgeries
In recent weeks the CDC (Centers For Disease Control) has issued new guidelines for dentists, recommending that HEPA filtration be used in surgeries to protect staff and patients from the spread of Covid-19. Covid-19 risks for dentists and patients As we know, the main way Covid-19 is spread from person to person, is via droplets in the air. And as many dental procedures, such as drilling, scaling and polishing, result in contaminants being released into the air, dentists and their...
