Since COVID-19, with the rapid depletion of disposable masks and reliance on lean supply chains, hospitals were suddenly desperately seeking alternatives to disposable masks. The advantages of reusable systems with superior protection and a secure supply chain make this Australian manufacturer an attractive and reliable vendor for many Australian and international hospitals. Since the outbreak, this unique system has become the ‘standard of care’ for protection of high-risk healthcare teams in anaesthetics, surgery and general care. Well before the COVID-19 crisis, CleanSpace HALO was protecting the lives of thousands of frontline healthcare workers globally. Thirty percent lighter, smaller and more ergonomic than its predecessors, CleanSpace HALO was the first respirator to be designed in consultation with healthcare. CleanSpace Technology were confident, with their medical device background and a commercially proven technology, they could develop a healthcare respirator. Disposable masks are well-known for causing fogging and discomfort, leading to low compliance.įollowing the Ebola outbreak in 2014, the WHO and CDC put out a call for light weight highly protective PAPRs specifically designed for healthcare workers.

These features combined mean healthcare workers are more likely to wear them for a full shift.Ĭompared to disposable masks, CleanSpace Respirators offer more protection and are more economical as the cost of replacing disposables stacks up. CleanSpace Respirators are operated using a simple one-button smart system. The clear silicon mask is comfortable and soft and allows for easy communication.
Its simplicity with fresh air on the face, makes it far prefer- able to the N95 disposable. “CleanSpace is unique, it’s a Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) without the heavy and cumbersome belt and hoses associated with PAPRs. If masks are uncomfortable or not quick and easy to put on then it simply doesn’t get used,” said Alex Birrell, CleanSpace Technology CEO. One of the main reasons people go unprotected is because of low compliance. “Our technology was seen as game-changer, and still is. Traditional devices were typically uncomfortable, hot and provided low protection. Until CleanSpace, the technology for masks had not changed for 30 years. The company has been successfully protecting workers in a wide range of sectors for the past ten years. The engineers had a vision to make respirators that delivered high level protection in an easy to use and comfort- able system. ResMed is a world leader in CPAP devices.
The proprietary technology, at the heart of all CleanSpace Respirators, was designed by ex-ResMed biomedical engineers. CleanSpace Technology, an Australian company that designs and manufactures next- generation respirators, has found itself at the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic.
