AIRSteril Technology – Revolutionary Infection Controls for Aged Care Homes.
The Unique Challenges of Aged Care Environments
Aged care facilities provide critical support to the most vulnerable people in our community. However, they often face significant challenges in maintaining safe and hygienic environments. Elderly residents, often with multiple health conditions and weakened immune systems, live in close proximity, where infections can spread rapidly. Unlike hospitals, care homes lack high-grade air filtration systems capable of removing airborne bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.
Pathogens are easily introduced into these facilities by staff, visitors, or agency workers travelling between care homes, amplifying the risks. Addressing this perennial issue is critical if facility operators and managers want to ensure the safety of residents.
Introducing AIRSteril Technology
AIRSteril technology will transform infection control in aged care environments. This advanced, filter-free air purification system offers a groundbreaking solution to the challenges faced by care homes.
AIRSteril operates using advanced ionisation techniques, eliminating bacteria, viruses, mould, fungi, and odours while improving air quality. Unlike conventional air purifiers, which rely on filters, clog quicky, and lose effectiveness, AIRSteril works continuously, ensuring 24/7 protection for residents and staff alike.
AIRSteril technology offers a proactive, reliable solution that enhances both air and surface hygiene, providing a safer environment for the most vulnerable people in our community.
Proven Results from Research and Real-World Applications
Research underscores the necessity for advanced infection control in care homes. A 2022 Care Quality Commission report in the UK revealed widespread deficiencies in hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment, leading to heightened infection rates. The report concluded that many of these risks could have been mitigated with technology such as AIRSteril, which provides continuous protection without relying on human compliance.
International Case Studies demonstrate AIRSteril's effectiveness
At Alde House Care Home, persistent odours were eliminated, and air quality improved dramatically, with visitors frequently commenting on the fresh, clean environment.
At Bagatelle Care Home, an odour problem caused by a resident’s wound was permanently resolved using AIRSteril, providing discreet and effective air purification.
The technology has also been adopted by Nexus Foundation Special School to safeguard pupils with severe and complex needs. The school’s hygiene room and classrooms now benefit from 98.11 percent efficacy against airborne pathogens, bacteria, and surface contaminants, creating a safer and more pleasant environment.
The Science Behind AIRSteril
Research conducted at MIT highlights the alarming speed at which airborne pathogens can travel. Droplets expelled from a single sneeze or cough can travel up to 200 metres, making enclosed environments particularly vulnerable. AIRSteril silently neutralises these pathogens on contact, eliminating bacteria and viruses before they spread.
This capability is especially crucial in high-risk areas such as communal lounges, corridors, and shared facilities, where residents are most exposed.
A Solution Tailored to Aged Care
A 2024 Monash University study is encouraging hospital-grade infection control strategies for all Australian aged care facilities. This validation emphasises the importance of proactive measures such as AIRSteril. While effective hygiene governance and staff training are essential, they cannot fully address airborne infection risks. AIRSteril provides a set-and-forget solution, working silently and continuously to protect residents and staff 24/7.
"AIRSteril technology is a practical and powerful solution for infection control in Australian care homes. Its unique ability to eliminate pathogens in the air and on surfaces, without relying on filters, makes it an indispensable tool for aged care.
Transforming Standards of Care
Australia’s ageing population is projected to reach two million over the age of 85 by 2050. For this reason alone, infection control has never been more urgent. Poor air quality exacerbates health issues, increases hospitalisations, and raises costs for families and care providers. By investing in AIRSteril technology, aged care homes can create safer, healthier environments while providing peace of mind to staff, residents and their families.
