\u00a0<\/strong>UW Healthcare was established in 2011 with full-fledged in-house capability in research and development (R&D), validation, production, chemical and microbiology functions. The quality management system (QMS) of UW Healthcare complies with ISO 13485: 2016, EN ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015.<\/p>\n

Working together with the medical professionals from Penang Hospital on the specification requirements, UW Healthcare produced the \u201cCovid Test Booth\u201d. The testing booth provides an extra safety net to the\u00a0frontliners who test patients with Covid-19 symptoms and is placed outside the hospital\u2019s emergency department.<\/p>\n

Fixed with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the all-aluminium booth is designed to trap very fine particles effectively. In the sealed booth, a doctor will perform the oral and nasal swabbing test on a patient using rubber gloves attached to the booth. Essentially, the HEPA filter is able to filter out micro-organisms and creates a high-pressure environment inside the booth to protect the frontliners. There is a fitted meter allowing frontliners to monitor the pressure. It is also equipped with an adjustable table and stand, LED lighting and an intercom phone system.<\/p>\n
