We are pleased to provide this information below from Purge Virus regarding their offerings for PTAC Disinfection for nursing homes.

The Purge Virus team provides multiple solutions for nursing homes that include UV light, Photoplasma, and Bipolar Ionization. The Bipolar Ionization solutions have been well-received because, in addition to helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19, they also remove odors from sources such as tobacco and cannabis.

PURGE VIRUS DOESN’T MAKE PTAC UNITS…THEY RETROFIT THEM TO DISINFECT INDOOR AIR.

For Purge Virus to match the available technology to your in-room HVAC systems, you can let them know the manufacturer’s name and model # of your PTAC Units. From there Purge Virus will provide you with a free assessment of the most applicable solution. The average cost of equipment and installation per room is coming in at $550-$650. Purge Virus also offers zero upfront cost financing over 3-5 years. The monthly cost can be as low as $10 per month per room.

For some nursing homes, portable devices may make the most sense for small lobbies or in certain rooms. Learn more about Potable Disinfection Devices here: Portable Devices

NEWS on COVID-19 in Louisiana: This doctor treated Louisiana's 1st critically ill coronavirus patient; 9 months later he got the vaccine

“Dr. Joshua Denson says he distinctly remembers being in the intensive care unit in March, about nine months ago.

A pulmonary and critical care doctor at Tulane Medical Center and University Medical Center, Denson was truly on the front lines of Louisiana's fight against coronavirus by, as he describes it, ‘admitting (and) intubating what turned out to be the first critically ill covid case in Louisiana.’

Denson describes the scene as ‘by far my most nerve wracking airway to date.’

Fast forward to this week, and Denson shared a photo on Twitter of himself getting the coronavirus vaccine, one of the first rounds of New Orleanians to receive the first of the two-shot regimen.

There's a partial feeling of guilt, Denson said, as the state began vaccinating medical professionals at a high risk of coronavirus exposure.

‘I hesitated to post this pic as I feel guilty receiving it before so many which need it more than me,’ Denson wrote. ‘But I know it’s important to share (and) to get the word out that this vaccine is safe, so I am not holding back.[‘]”
