HEPA Filter Integrity in Healthcare Settings

Clean air is mandatory for medical places like hospitals, ICUs, operation theaters, and laboratories. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter keep the air clean by catch the 99.97% of small objects from the air, like germs, viruses, and allergens. Clean air is the base of a safe and healthy healthcare setting.

However, the mere installation of HEPA filters is not enough. Their integrity must be regularly tested and validated to ensure they are functioning correctly. That’s where Kesar Testing Services, a leading name in validation and testing solutions in India, plays a crucial role in healthcare safety.

Why HEPA Filter Integrity Matters in Healthcare

Hospitals and other medical facilities treat patients with weakened immune systems, perform surgeries, and house life-saving equipment that requires an environment free from contamination. If a HEPA filter is damaged, leaking, or improperly installed, it can compromise air quality and increase the risk of infection transmission.

Common consequences of compromised HEPA filters include:

  • Spread of airborne infections in isolation rooms
  • Cross-contamination in operating rooms and ICUs
  • Regulatory non-compliance and audit failures
  • Increased risk for immunocompromised patients

This is why healthcare facilities must perform regular HEPA filter integrity testing—not just as a regulatory requirement, but as a critical part of patient safety.

 What Is HEPA Filter Integrity Testing?

HEPA filter integrity testing involves checking the filter and its housing for leaks or damages that could allow contaminated air to bypass filtration. Common methods include:

  • PAO (Poly Alpha Olefin) Aerosol Testing
  • DOP (Dispersed Oil Particulate) Testing
  • Airflow Velocity & Pattern Testing

These tests are typically conducted under controlled conditions using highly sensitive equipment to ensure every aspect of the filter’s performance is evaluated.
