Yewdale – New products launched preventing suicide

Yewdale has recently launched two new products which prevent suicide in high-risk environments. In mental health settings, most suicides occur in personal rooms.

The en-suite provides privacy and enough time between checks to create a ligature point, often using a traditional en-suite door. SafeDoor 2 is Yewdale’s life-saving antiligature en-suite door. Designed to prevent the creation of ligature points, SafeDoor 2 has a Crib 7 fire rating. It’s waterproof, only 9mm thick and has gaps above and below the door to allow observational checks whilst maintaining privacy and dignity.

Introducing vibrant colours and relaxing imagery can help create a therapeutic environment and reduce anxiety. With that in mind, Yewdale launched their antiligature artwork called SafeArt.

Any high-resolution image can be printed on SafeArt, and Yewdale offer a selection of stunning nature photography images. SafeDoor 2 and SafeArt utilise magnets which ensure the products fall safely under an excess load, preventing ligature.

They are constructed from soft foam which poses minimal weapons risk once removed.

The magnetic system provides a lifetime of trouble-free service because magnets take hundreds of years to lose their strength. L

Air Sentry – The Magic of Science

Air Sentry has been a trusted supplier of Medical Air Systems to the NHS for over 20 years. Modular in nature, Air Sentry is the only system currently available that has been purpose designed alongside the NHS. Today it is in widespread use across all clinical disciplines and widely accepted

British Designed, British Manufactured

Air Sentry are an English company who have pioneered Air Purification Systems for clinical use since 2000. Our story is that we came into being due to dangling ‘stuff’.

Our founder was the innovator behind Kreuzer (UK) pendant systems and helped develop the overhead systems market during the nineties. He noted that biological material was accumulating on the arm’s upper surfaces. In investigating this, he found that there was an issue with the claimed air changes hospitals felt they were getting and set out to design a solution that could be retrofitted to any clinical environment. From this, the early systems were born, and it took through to 2007 to get a system that not only worked but was also able to include a fresh air supply. From 2007, we set out to protect patients and staff, protecting life using ultra-clean air technology.

Striving for Net Zero

Our system is 100% UK sourced, which ensures we have an extremely low carbon footprint. We also minimise the use of plastics with units being manufactured from steel.

The system offers the capability to reduce ventilation carbon emissions by 70% or more, which is an enormous potential step towards attaining Net Zero. Typically, our units run on the same energy as an old-fashioned light bulb. Solutions being worked upon are involved with CO2 capture and reducing NOx emissions.

The design life of 25+ years makes the system inherently sustainable and offers lifetime value. This is backed by an exceptional 10-year warranty for maintained units, offering a low-risk and rapid return on investment.

Exceptional Room Dilution & Air Mixing

Air Sentry utilises an approach which provides exceptional levels of room dilution and mixing. This means that our core system module creates an inroom environment that can be assured safe for both patients and staff.

Hybrid Recirculation & Net Zero

It seems likely that NHS trusts may need to innovate towards utilising hybrid recirculation approaches as they move to meet the requirements of net zero.

Air Sentry offers the potential capability to achieve this, without any compromise to patient or staff safety.

All our clinical systems use an independently verified EN14644 filtration system that is designed to minimise risk.

Fully passive, our systems only utilise well tried-and-tested approaches, without seeking to add any new factors to risk management. This means that Air Sentry units can be easily added to mitigate risk, without additional concerns being raised.

To help facilitate this, we offer a full support service. Our systems are maintained by us at a low cost (it is cheaper to be on contract than off) and with our extended warranty, our clients have no concerns other than for accidental damage (which is unlikely).

HEPA 14 vs ULPA 15 Certification

Our filters exceed the HEPA standard (we use ULPA15 media), but we down specify to ensure that our marketing claims are below our actual capability.

All Air Sentry units have a minimal filtration efficacy of 99.9995% at 0.3µm. The systems are more efficient for both smaller particles and also anything larger. This means that all known pathogens in their environmental state are completely captured by our system.

Due to our hugely efficient approach to air mixing and dilution, our systems can maintain a clean room level environment for any clinical area. We can achieve this whilst seeking to comply with the ethos of HTM03.01 due to our ability to include fresh air.

Maintenance, Support & Long-Lasting Relationships

We fully support our systems, and we also include onsite verification as part of our service. This means that clinical teams can have an auditable approach to assessment which gives a verifiable method to support deployment.

Furthermore, we use the same approach when we undertake servicing, so each unit can be verified on site before use, during use and at its service points, giving our clients complete assurance.

We are so confident of our solutions we are prepared to offer a commitment-free trial for six weeks. All we ask is the filter cost is covered, but that will be credited should a client then proceed to purchase.

Air Sentry offers exceptional service and solutions for clinical areas. Why not contact us today to arrange a visit? L
