PSNews - With the aim of facilitating frontline workers collecting samples for COVID-19 testing amid the intense heat in the North, a group led by architect Khieu Huu Nghia successfully designed a creative air-conditioned chamber.
 |
| This air-conditioned chamber has been put into operation in Tan Yen District Health Center in Bac Giang province to facilitate frontline workers collecting samples for COVID-19 testing, amid the intense heat in the North in recent days. |
 |
| The chamber aims to keep medical staff cool during their long-working hours under the heat, while helping minimise cross-infection. It is considered a practical solution and an optimal model capable of being widely replicated. |
 |
| With a about 1.2m x 2.4m x 2.65m, the medical team can work inside a cool space, guaranteed to disinfect and put their hands through two small boxes on the window to get specimens. |
 |
| According to architect Khieu Huu Nghia, the special feature of this heat-resistant chamber lies in the flexibility of its design with cooling technology and real-time monitoring and control, ensuring air quality inside the chamber with indicators keeping track of CO2 concentration, fine dust (PM10, PM2.5), temperature, and humidity. |
 |
| All surfaces are disinfected within eight minutes of being put into operation. In addition, the systems operate automatically and can be controlled remotely to help doctors reduce surface contact and focus more on sampling. |
 |
| Nghia also said that currently, the team can complete 50 products a week to help cope with the epidemic situation as it develops. |
