Aura Air (UK) are offering UK Dentists a rental package*, including replacement RAY Filters every 6 months, for the special rate of £35+VAT. This package includes the App displaying both indoor and outdoor air quality conditions on a Smart Phone or Tablet, instantly viewable by staff and visitors alike.
This package also includes the Dashboard App that allows monitoring of the indoor air quality (IAQ) across ALL of your Practices in real-time and also a rolling 12 month audit trail of readings for use in any future government, legal or insurance requirements. It also features a customisable alert capability, warning key staff of potentially hazardous indoor air quality conditions, which a filter cannot resolve e.g. high CO2 or CO levels. By being able to position the unit directly above the dentist/patient allows maximum IMMEDIATE extraction of aerosol droplets and therefore reduced risk of contamination. * Please note that the rental package is for a minimum 24 month rental period, with 6 months payment upfront and subject to credit approval.

Locating the unit very near the source of the AGP (typically directly beside the patient/dentist) ensures the most effective and efficient removal of airborne droplets and the destruction of viruses, AS THEY ARE EMITTED. For this reason, the time to disinfect the room after the procedure should be able to be substantially reduced. Sadly this logical conclusion has yet to be considered or analysed by the BDA. It appears currently to be solely focused on simple ACH (air circulations per hour) to reduce fallow times, irrespective of the actual filter location, despite considerable past research (see the next section) on the criticality of air filter positioning.

"The positioning of an air cleaner in the dental clinic is a particularly important consideration for controlling droplet/aerosol particle dispersion. combining the placement of the air cleaner near the droplet/aerosol particle source and the suitable relative position of the air cleaner, source and dental health care worker is a particularly effective method for reducing exposure to droplets/aerosol particles emitted from a patient's mouth in a dental clinic." |
If a badly located and powerful Filter is left on during a procedure, then it will probably produce substantial air churn and actually may make matters much worse for particulate distribution (see Royal Society Research article link to the left below):

BAPD Return to Practice Position Paper - May 2020
3410 Corona BAPD Policy Document - Appendix 1, Table 2 Li Y, Leung GM, Tang JW et al: Systematic Review: "Recirculating air through the UV radiation unit can be very effective to disinfect the air ... equipment within the ventilated space close to the ceiling, where human exposure is minimal ... but ceiling mounted units do not exist in dentistry." Yes they do! |
"The results show very large variation of the overall particle removal for different positions of cleaning device. In extreme cases, the effective positioning of a cleaning device can result in a factor of 2.5 change in overall particle removal and, consequently, strongly affect occupant exposure to particles."

The Aura Air Filter system accurately measures and displays PM2.5 and PM10 particulate and pollutant levels in real-time - on your Smart Phone, Tablet or Computer Display - useful in providing feedback of the level of airborne particles in the room - particularly critical in dentistry.
The Aura Air Filter system also accurately measures and displays VOC, Humidity, Temperature, CO and CO2 levels. |
