CQC inspectors increasingly ask care homes how they evidence ventilation and air-quality control between residents — particularly after an outbreak. Maxvac and Medicair HEPA H13 units, paired with Light Progress UV-C terminal disinfection, give you a documented, auditable answer.
This question — or some variant of it — has become standard in IPC inspections since the COVID inquiry findings. Manager-stated "we ventilate the rooms" is no longer sufficient evidence on its own. Inspectors are increasingly asking to see:
Three product layers, each with a specific job in the IPC story. Mix-and-match by room type.
HEPA H13 + carbon + concealed UV-C, safe in occupied rooms. MEDI 4e (380 m³/h) for smaller lounges; MEDI 8 (800 m³/h) for dining rooms and communal corridors. Coverage at 4 ACH: MEDI 4e ~35 m², MEDI 8 ~70 m².
Mobile 5-lamp UV-C tower for room turnover post-discharge or post-outbreak — 360° air + surface disinfection. A motion sensor on each side stops the lamps the instant anyone enters.
Wall-mounted IAQ monitors recording CO₂, PM2.5, chemical VOCs, temperature and humidity continuously, with real-time alerts. A five-monitor starter set covers a typical 40-resident layout.
Includes 4× MEDI 8 and 2× MEDI 4e. The shared UV-PENTALIGHT turnover tower and 5× air-quality monitors are quoted alongside, in your currency. Free installation visit and 12-month consumables included.

Care staff have the highest sickness absence rate in the UK economy (CIPD 2024). Reducing absence by 20% in a 60-staff home recovers around £16,800/year — well above the lease cost of a full kit.
