Healthcare ventilation service
IOM tests critical ventilation systems to confirm performance, identify problems early and help protect patient care and service continuity.
Service overview
Critical ventilation systems can lose performance over time. Changes to clinical use, maintenance issues or system faults may also affect whether an area continues to operate as intended.
IOM provides validation and verification testing to help you confirm performance, identify problems and take action before they affect patient care or service delivery.
Practical support
We test new, refurbished and existing ventilation systems in areas including:
Our testing can include airflow measurements, pressure relationships, particle counting and air-handling unit inspections.
From evidence to action
We explain whether the system is performing against the relevant requirements and design intent. Where we identify deficiencies, we provide clear findings to help you assess the risk and prioritise corrective work.
We understand the operational pressures within healthcare. Our team plans testing around theatre and clinical schedules wherever possible.
