At NoPo Kids, we want you to know that even now, we are still here for you. We are committed to the health and safety of our patients and staff, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As we begin to reopen, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care while still following the CDC guidelines. Our staff has undergone training and education on the importance of hygiene, facemasks, and etiquette. Our staff routinely cleans and sterilizes all surfaces, supplies, equipment, and tools within our office.
When you walk into any healthcare facility, you should feel confident that you are in a safe and clean environment. However, healthcare facilities are not immune to air pollutants and contaminants. Many times, patients may come from work, school, or home and unknowingly pass viral organisms into the air.
The Air We Breathe
It is easy to take the air we breathe for granted. We want you to know that we are currently taking extra steps every day to diligently sanitize our entire office, including the air! With our Surgically Clean Air purifiers, we can guarantee that the air you breathe in our office is as clean and safe as it can be.
Pollutants in the air we breathe can cause anything from allergy symptoms to serious health complications, even aiding in the spread of infectious diseases. When we imagine air pollutants, many people picture dust, dirt, allergens, and dead skin cells. However, there are other pollutants such as mold, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and even man-made chemicals that can prove dangerous if inhaled.
Even though our bodies have a natural air filter system, it isn’t perfect. The hairs in our nose and our body’s mucous membranes filter out larger particles but can still allow harmful pollutants to enter our body and weaken our immune system.
We are always searching for new ways to invest in our patient’s health and whole-body wellness, so we use Surgically Clean Air purifiers in our office and treatment areas to ensure medical-grade clean air.
Surgically Clean Air
Many air filters have only one or two filtering platforms, but Surgically Clean Air products go above and beyond with a six-stage filtering process. These filters remove odors, gasses, bio-aerosols, bacteria, mold, fungus, and even viruses out of the air allowing us to truly provide you with a safe and healthy environment.
These purifiers and filters are proven to remove over 90% of viruses and other pollutants within 15 minutes. This is accomplished by the use of short-wave Ultraviolet light which inactivates any airborne pathogens and microorganisms as the air is forced through the filters.
Our practice requires open mouths, water tools, and other equipment that may cause the air to be filled with various pollutants. During COVID-19, we are doing our best to protect you when you visit our office by using Surgically Clean Air to improve the air quality within our office to ensure you are breathing clean, germ-free air.
