Air disinfection system is all at sea

Wholly owned subsidiary of AIM
listed Mid-States, Inov8 has
appointed Hutton’s to become
sole UK shipping and offshore
distributor of its AD air
disinfection system, which
helps to prevent the airborne
spread of a wide range of
viruses, bacteria and fungus.

Inov8’s Air Disinfection
(AD) units are currently in use
within the healthcare industry,
and this partnership marks a
significant move into the
maritime and hospitality
industry that has been
challenged by virus
outbreaks over the years. In
particular, the AD helps prevent
Norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships;
this helps to improve the health of
seafarers and offshore workers in
enclosed ship environments.

John MacDonald, general
manager of Hutton’s Medical
says: “Hutton’s is at the
forefront of improving seafarer
health and when a product
comes along which has such a
drastic positive impact, we have
no hesitation in putting our
resources behind it. This unit is
being used in UK hospitals
to help prevent outbreaks
of infection and it has the
potential to become
invaluable aboard ships
too.”
