Cut fallow time. Pass the CQC IPC inspection.

Aerosol-generating procedures generate respirable particles for 30-60+ minutes after the patient leaves the chair. Medicair filtration in surgery plus Light Progress UV-C on turnover cuts fallow time and gives the CQC inspector a documented answer.

What the inspector asks

"How do you manage aerosol contamination between patients?"

CQC IPC inspectors now routinely ask dental practices for documented evidence of how aerosol-generating procedure (AGP) risk is controlled. Standard ventilation alone is no longer treated as sufficient — practices need to show:

1
A documented AGP policy aligned with HTM 01-05 and SDCEP guidance for England, Scotland and Wales.
2
Equipment evidence — make, model, HEPA grade, UV-C dose certificates, last service date.
3
Surgery turnover SOP with measured fallow time backed by IAQ or particle data.
4
Staff training records showing who runs the equipment, when filters are changed, dose verified.
The kit

What we recommend for a 4-surgery practice

Three product layers, each with a specific job in the IPC story.

Layer 1 · Continuous filtration

The CQC IPC evidence pack — included free.

Every quote ships with a printable pack customised to your practice layout and equipment list.

It's not just compliance

Faster turnover = more chairtime billed.

Cutting fallow time from 60 minutes to 15 in a 4-surgery practice recovers ~3 hours/day of billable chairtime. At an average UDA value of £30, that's ~£18,000/year per surgery.
