Frequently asked questions
Healthcare ventilation is the controlled supply and extraction of air in hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities to maintain air quality, regulate temperature, control humidity, and reduce airborne infection transmission. Unlike standard building ventilation, healthcare ventilation must meet standards for air change rates, filtration, and infection prevention.
Healthcare ventilation systems deliver fresh outdoor air whilst extracting stale air containing potential contaminants, odours, and pathogens. In hospital wards, ventilation dilutes airborne pathogens to reduce infection risk, removes heat generated by medical equipment, controls humidity levels affecting patient comfort, and maintains positive or negative pressure in specific clinical areas. Systems like Hygipod Vent provide low-level ventilation specifically designed for ward environments, offering HTM 03-01 compliant air delivery sized to suit ductwork dimensions stipulated by the MEP engineer on the project.
Hygipod Vent is Trovex's modular, pre-assembled low-level ventilation unit designed for healthcare facilities. The system provides HTM 03-01 compliant ventilation for hospital wards, combining rapid installation with simple bracket mounting and seamless integration with the Hygipod MSU bedside services platform.
Each Hygipod Vent features pre-assembled construction enabling rapid deployment in both new builds and refurbishment projects. The surface-mount wall bracket system allows straightforward installation without complex on-site assembly. The vent grille is set at 10 degrees from the vertical to comply with HTM 03-01 and reduce the chance of accidental obstruction. Available in several standard duct sizes to suit most air-flow rates plus the option for bespoke sizes where necessary. Available in 45+ colours via PVC cladding options, Hygipod Vent can match ward aesthetics whilst maintaining infection control standards. Designed and manufactured in the UK by Trovex.
HTM 03-01 is the UK Health Technical Memorandum providing guidance on ventilation requirements for healthcare premises. Compliance with HTM 03-01 ensures ventilation systems deliver appropriate air change rates, filtration levels, and infection control measures for different clinical areas. Hygipod Vent is designed to meet HTM 03-01 standards for ward ventilation.
HTM 03-01 specifies ventilation requirements based on clinical risk zones, defining air change rates, supply air quality, pressure relationships, and filtration standards for each area type. General hospital wards typically require 6-10 air changes per hour with appropriate supply air filtration. The guidance addresses system commissioning, testing, maintenance, and monitoring to ensure ongoing compliance. Key compliance elements include documented air change rates, appropriate filtration removing particulates and airborne pathogens, pressure relationships preventing contamination spread, and acoustic performance minimising patient disturbance.
Hospital ward ventilation requirements include adequate air change rates (typically 6-10 air changes per hour), appropriate filtration, controlled air distribution, acoustic performance minimising noise, infection control design with cleanable surfaces, and maintainability enabling routine servicing. HTM 03-01 provides specific guidance for UK healthcare facilities.
Key requirements encompass supply air quality with filtration removing particulates and outdoor pollutants, air distribution patterns preventing stagnant zones, temperature control maintaining comfortable conditions year-round, humidity management preventing condensation, acoustic performance below 35-40 dB(A) supporting patient rest, hygienic design with smooth wipe-clean surfaces preventing dust accumulation, energy efficiency reducing operational costs whilst maintaining clinical performance, and accessibility for maintenance without disrupting patient care. Hygipod Vent addresses these requirements through standard duct sizes to suit most air-flow rates, grille design set at 10 degrees to reduce accidental obstruction, acoustic protection features, and PVC-clad surfaces supporting infection control.
Modular ventilation improves infection control through factory-assembled components ensuring consistent quality, hygienic surface finishes eliminating crevices where pathogens accumulate, controlled air distribution preventing contamination spread, and accessible maintenance enabling reliable filter replacement and cleaning. Hygipod Vent's pre-assembled design and easy-to-clean surfaces support infection prevention protocols.
Infection control benefits include factory assembly with pre-tested performance eliminating on-site quality variations, seamless PVC finishes creating smooth non-porous surfaces cleanable with healthcare-grade disinfectants, grille design set at 10 degrees from vertical to comply with HTM 03-01 and reduce accidental obstruction, and standard duct sizes to suit most air-flow rates with bespoke options available. The low-level mounting position enables visual inspection and routine surface cleaning as part of ward housekeeping protocols.
