Modula S ePIC
We have designed the Modula S ePIC, emergency Pandemic Isolation Care facility to offer a superior deployable facility. The need is to keep COVID-19 from spreading and to keep infected patients out of the hospitals. The hospitals are effective for critical infectious care and need their beds for critical cases.
COVID-19 Spreads Quickly
COVID-19 has asymptomatic spreaders and fortunately has a low death rate. The Ebola virus doesn't spread easily but has an extremely high death rate. We have to respond to both of these conditions and all future unknown viruses with isolation facilities.
Protect Health Care Providers
We need to protect our health care providers and heal infected patients. In a pandemic, hospitals with ICUs need to treat the critically ill. Therefore, we are required to respond to epidemics with isolation facilities which have antiviral surfaces to reduce the viral load in the healthcare environment.
Modula S is Prepared to Deploy ePICs
Implementing pandemic preparation protocols, our ePIC facilities are designed to be deployed in one week.
The Immediate Covid-19 Problem
Responding to the immediate COVID-19 crisis the DoD is setting up temporary facilities for infection isolation. These will be effective but they have some limitations and are not the best solution, but they are the only solution at the moment. There are two basic types of facilities tent hospitals and convention center conversions. Tents are very hard to clean, require extra staff working in a high-risk environment and wear out quickly. Convention Centers have extremely large "red zones" and have limited isolation separation capabilities, again exposing health care workers to additional risk. Also, the mechanical systems of convention centers do not have isolation separation. The key to pandemic isolation is to deploy facilities specifically designed to achieve isolation using as few caregivers as possible and keeping the risk to the caregivers as low as possible.
