Rapid Deployable Isolation Pod for Covid-19 combat

Background

Portable, Quick deployable Isolation Cubicle Solution (for Covid-19 fight) can convert any ordinary hospital bed in a ward into an Isolation Facility. The Unit comes with an integrated Multi-Mode Air purifier, which kills airborne viruses within the cubicle and ensures secondary infection from covid patients is not passed on.

This light weight unit can be folded and stored in a warehouse when not in use, and can be deployed in under five minutes by 2-3 people.

In-built Air handling/Air Management

The unit has a Filtered Air Suction unit, to get clean air into the cubicle.

The exhaled air of patient is let out after sterlizing it thoroughly using a Multi-Mode Air Purifier that is built into the Isolation Cubicle. The soft and fluffy snow generated by Snow generator, gets compacted inside as people walk on the snow and due to compaction, startys to turn into ice losing its fluff. If the snow loses its fluff, snow park will not be fun! So, daily, the snow has is ploughed using this Low voltage DC operated Power Tiller.

Novel Application: Respiratory Isolation for Covid Positive Neonates

(Neonates: Just born or Premature born babies).

The First of this kind Isolation facility has been setup in JSS Hospital NICU, in Mysuru, Karnataka.

Several Covid positive mothers give birth to babies who are also Covid positive. These babies are admitted to NICU (Neo-natal ICU). In order to treat them in Isolation, without spreading infection or affecting other babies inside a Neonatal ICU, JSS Hospital NICU has installed our Isolation Cubicle.

The USP of this product is that it can be dismantled and reassembled in the needed place. Within 3 minutes unit was setup inside the huge Neonatal ICU ward in JSS Hospital, Mysuru to give complete isolation facility for infected babies! Instead of setting up a separate Isolation Facility, this can be installed in existing NICU Facility itself as it is self contained and exhaust air is treated as well!

Isolation Cubicle eliminates the need to setup a fresh Isolation facility!

Ease of Transportation

The units can be folded into two thin transportable sections within a few minutes. A typical Mini-truck (like Tata Ace) can carry around 5-6 such Isolation Cubicles in one go. A specially designed plastic based reusable packaging for this Isolation cubicle for frequent movements is sold separately

Product and Technology Description

Low voltage DC operation ensures that there is no risk of electrocution due to the watery/icy environment even if the power supply is shorted unintentionally. This entire system was designed, engineered and developed in our lab and fabricated using SS-304 (Food grade steel alloy), which doesnt rust easily under sub zero temperatures like other ferrous materials! This device is designed to be ultra-sae to be operated in a water/icy environment!

At the tiller's heart is a 1 kilowatt BLDC motor (indestructible) along with a powerful high torque gearbox that can survive the uneven loads faced. The BLDC ensures fail safe operation of the motor even under irregular loads and changing of speeds continuously. The system is powered using a 48V DC supply (low voltage DC) and so safe to use in wet, icy and watery environment of the Snow park. The motor speed can be controlled and also its direction can be reversed if needed by the operator.
