description: With the advent of COVID19, the healthcare community has seen large numbers of infected staff members due to airborne virus particulate exposure from the patient in confined spaces. To combat the spread from infected patients to healthcare professionals, the air that is expelled by the patient needs to be sterilized and removed. The Breegi Scientific’s SteriDome aims to sterilize this expelled air by placing the patients head in a tent like dome with an internal negative pressure environment. This is created by using H14 HEPA filtered inlet and outlet ports on the dome walls. A hospital wall vacuum line will be attached to the outlet to create the negative pressure. Clean air is supplied to the patient through the inlet while the virus infected air is removed and processed through the hospitals sterilization system. To make the SteriDome fully functional for healthcare professionals, the dome has arm sleeves and airlock sterilization tool bags for performing procedures on the patient; provides a generous amount of space for patient comfort. The overall design is driven by safety for the patient and healthcare professionals while having the capability of being rapidly manufacturable and economically cost effective.
