Units that discharge into the general ventilation system for recirculation or that solely provide room-air exhaust to the outdoors to create negative pressure are excluded. These devices are also called: mobile air filters, medical recirculating air cleaners, negative-pressure air filtration systems, high-efficiency particlate air (HEPA) filtration units. Purpose High-efficiency-filter air cleaners (HEFACs) are used to reduce the local area concentration of airborne infectious Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) droplet nuclei. Since 1985, the number of people infected with TB has increased significantly, particularly in healthcare facilities, homeless shelters, and correctional institutions. Long-term drug treatment is sometimes successful; however, multidrug-resistant strains of TB (MDR-TB) have been reported in healthcare facilities, affecting both patients and personnel. Further complicating the spread of TB in healthcare facilities is the increased number of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with HIV are more likely than others to contract TB, and certain treatment procedures, such as those that induce coughing, can increase the likelihood of nosocomial airborne transmission of TB via infectious droplet nuclei. One method of dealing with this problem is to institute adequate infection-control programs in healthcare facilities, including the use of engineering controls. TB is usually transmitted when an infected patient coughs, sneezes, or otherwise releases infectious particles into the air. Infection can occur when another person inhales the particles before they settle or are otherwise removed from the air. After release, droplets that are not immediately inhaled begin their descent and desicate rapidly. Larger droplets fall to the ground or onto another surface before evaporating; other droplets evaporate into nuclei of 1 to 5 μm in diameter. These droplet nuclei settle extremely slowly and can remain airborne on normal air currents generated in an occupied space until they are removed by some means of ventilation.
