No risk of infection in medical treatment rooms

UV-C and plasma protect staff and patients – permanently and without chemicals

Whether in doctors’ offices, dialysis centers, radiology departments, or outpatient surgery centers: medical treatment rooms are places where many people gather in a confined space – often with compromised immune systems or acute infections. Conventional ventilation is often insufficient to reliably eliminate pathogens.

oxytec actively protects against airborne germs, viruses, and aerosols with UV-C and plasma systems – even where room ventilation reaches its limits.

Common hygiene issues in treatment rooms

Room area Microbiological contamination Special features
Waiting areas & registration Viruses (e.g., influenza, coronavirus), bioaerosols Many people, changing, longer stays
Treatment rooms Germs, airborne particles, multi-resistant pathogens (MRP) Close personal contact, high hygiene requirements
Procedure & examination rooms Bacteria, fungal spores, germs relevant to surgery Infection risks due to invasive procedures
Air ducts & air conditioning systems Mold spores, recontamination from ducts High maintenance, difficult to access

Why use Oxytec in medical rooms?

  • Reduces viruses and germs directly in the room air – without air exchange
  • Complements existing ventilation – even with structural limitations
  • Continuous operation possible – whisper quiet and low maintenance
  • Ensures hygiene requirements in accordance with VDI 6022 and the Infection Protection Act
  • Effective against COVID-19, influenza, MRSA, mold spores, and more

Legal requirements

VDI 6022, Infection Protection Act, KRINKO recommendations

  • Medical rooms are subject to strict requirements regarding indoor air quality
  • UV-C is a recognized method for reducing germs (VDI 6022, Sheet 1)
  • Oxytec systems help with the legally compliant implementation of hygiene standards

Safe air – healthy supply.

With Oxytec systems, you can reliably protect patients and staff from the risk of infection—silently, effectively, and permanently.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How do UV-C and plasma systems for room air disinfection work?

UV-C systems draw in room air, sterilize it with germicidal light inside the device, and return it germ-free—without any direct radiation in the room.

Plasma systems generate a highly reactive air mixture that breaks down microorganisms, aerosols, and odors in the room air.
Both systems are ozone-free or ozone-controlled and operate continuously.

How much virus and germ load can Oxytec devices reduce?

Our devices achieve:

  • Up to 99.999% germ reduction (log 5) under laboratory conditions
  • Proven effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2, MRSA, influenza, noroviruses, and more
  • In practice: Significant reduction in the risk of infection through aerosols

Are subsidies or investment cost grants available?

In many cases, yes:

  • Funding programs for infection control, practice expansion, or investments in hygiene technology
  • Also possible in the context of digitization or building renovation
    We are happy to assist with the technical documentation for funding applications.

Can I also integrate oxytec devices into existing rooms?

Yes. Our systems are:

  • available as free-standing, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted units
  • retrofittable into existing HVAC systems or as a stand-alone solution
  • also suitable for rooms with no ventilation or limited window ventilation

How are the devices maintained?

Very simple:

  • UV-C tubes or modules: typically replaced once a year
  • Plasma systems: low maintenance, no filters, only visual inspection
  • We offer optional service contracts or reminder functions

What standards or regulations do the devices comply with?
  • VDI 6022 Sheet 1: Ventilation and air conditioning systems in healthcare facilities
  • EN ISO 14698: Biocontamination
  • Devices are CE-compliant, ozone-safe, and certified for continuous operation
  • Optionally documentable with hygiene reports or measurement protocols

How large does a device need to be for a typical treatment room?

That depends on the volume of the room. As a guideline:

  • 20–30 m²: compact UV-C wall-mounted unit
  • 30–60 m²: ceiling or floor-standing unit with higher air flow
  • For larger areas: multiple device operation or system integration

We calculate the air exchange rate, room volume, and germ load for you.

Are there combined solutions with air filters or CO₂ sensors?

Yes. We offer:

  • UV-C in combination with HEPA or activated carbon filters
  • CO₂ sensors for demand detection (e.g., in waiting areas)
  • Display elements for air quality in the room

Can Oxytec systems support legal requirements for infection prevention?

Yes – they help with compliance:

  • the Infection Protection Act (IfSG)
  • the hygiene regulations of the federal states
  • the KRINKO and RKI recommendations on environmental hygiene
    They are a valuable addition, especially in facilities with limited space.
