Hygienic air in hospitals

UV-C and plasma technology for clean air on the ward

Air quality is of central importance in hospitals: Patients with weakened immune systems, medical staff and sensitive equipment often share cramped rooms with high air circulation. Conventional ventilation systems are often not sufficiently germ-free – the risk of nosocomial infections and odor pollution increases.

oxytec systems with UV-C and plasma technology ensure hygienic room air, significantly reduce the germ load and increase protection on the ward – without any ongoing operational restrictions.

Typical problem areas in hospital rooms

Problem zone Typical stresses Consequences
Patient rooms Viruses, germs, bioaerosols, odors Risk of infection for patients and staff
Corridors and airlocks Droplet aerosols, contaminated circulating air Spread of germs across wards
Nurses’ stations Confined spaces, high frequency of people Risk of cross-contamination
Ventilation systems without disinfection Re-contamination, mold, odor Hygienic deficiencies and odor problems

FAQ – häufige Fragen

How is the air in hospital areas effectively sanitized?

oxytec relies on a combination of UV-C and plasma technology:

  • UV-C reliably deactivates viruses, bacteria and fungal spores
  • Plasma reduces bioaerosols and breaks down odors
  • Cleaning is continuous, residue-free and chemical-free

This keeps the room air sustainably germ-free even under real conditions.

Can it also be used in occupied wards?

Yes – our systems are designed for continuous operation in occupied rooms:

  • UV-C components are light-proof encapsulated, no danger for patients
  • Plasma units work with controlled ozone reaction and safe degradation
  • The technology is safe for staff, patients and medical devices

How is the technology integrated into existing hospital areas?

Our solutions are modular and retrofittable, e.g:

  • Wall and ceiling units for patient rooms or airlocks
  • Built-in units for central air conditioning systems
  • Compact recirculation units for functional rooms

Installation is often possible without interfering with the building fabric.

What distinguishes oxytec from conventional air filters?

Our systems do not work passively, but actively:

  • UV-C destroys germs, instead of just filtering them out
  • Plasma breaks down odor molecules and organic pollutants
  • No use of fragrances – suitable for sensitive patients

How much maintenance is required in everyday clinical practice?

Maintenance is predictable and low:

  • UV-C tubes: Replacement every 8,000-12,000 operating hours
  • Plasma elements: depending on model maintenance-free or plug-in modules
  • Filters (if used): typically 1-2 services per year

A service contract or instruction from the building services team is possible.

What standards and hygiene requirements does oxytec meet?

Our systems are:

  • VDI 6022-compliant (air quality in HVAC systems)
  • DIN EN 60335-compliant (electrical safety)
  • Microbiologically validated by independent laboratories
  • Suitable for use in ISO-certified facilities

Can larger hospital areas also be equipped with them?

Yes – we are planning scalable solutions:

  • Individual systems per room or Central solutions for entire wards
  • Integration into existing air ducting systems
  • Also suitable for temporary isolation areas or emergency rooms

Are there funding programs for air purification in hospitals?

Yes – subsidies are available for investments in hygiene and infection protection:

  • Programs at federal or state level
  • Support from KfW, BAFA or special clinic subsidies
  • We provide all technical documents for the application process

We would be happy to advise you individually on the eligibility of your planned measure.
