Healthcare Facility Ventilation Sanitizing
Healthcare Facility Ventilation & HVAC Sanitizing
In a healthcare environment, the ventilation system is more than just a component of the building; it is a critical tool for patient safety and infection control. A compromised HVAC system can circulate airborne pathogens, dust, and mold, posing a direct threat to vulnerable patients and dedicated staff. At ProntoMS, we provide specialized ventilation sanitizing services designed to meet the exacting standards of hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
Our work is guided by our founder’s promise: “Our word is our bond.” We deliver dependable, accountable service, ensuring your facility’s air quality supports a safe and healing environment.
The Critical Role of HVAC Systems in Healthcare
The air handling system in a medical facility is a lifeline. Its proper maintenance is fundamental to your core mission of patient care and is mandated by stringent industry regulations.
A First Line of Defense Against Airborne Pathogens
Your HVAC system can be the most effective tool for containing the spread of viruses, bacteria, and fungal spores—or it can be the primary vector for their transmission. Professional decontamination of coils, drain pans, and ductwork is essential for reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Ensuring Compliance with Health & Safety Standards
Healthcare facilities are subject to strict air quality and ventilation standards set by organizations like ASHRAE (Standard 170) and ASHE. Our services are specifically designed to help you meet and exceed these requirements, ensuring you are always prepared for inspections and accreditation surveys.
Protecting Patients, Staff, and Visitors
Clean, properly circulating air is vital for the well-being of everyone in your facility, especially immunocompromised patients, the elderly, and young children. A sanitized ventilation system improves overall indoor air quality (IAQ), reduces allergens, and creates a healthier, more comfortable environment for your healthcare team to perform at their best.
Elevate Patient Safety Through Superior Air Quality
Ensure your facility’s ventilation system is a source of health, not a risk. Partner with ProntoMS to implement a proactive HVAC sanitizing program that protects your patients, staff, and reputation.

Our Specialized Healthcare Ventilation Sanitizing Process
Servicing a healthcare facility requires a clinical approach. Our process is built on a foundation of safety, containment, and meticulous attention to detail.
- Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) & Containment: Before any work begins, we collaborate with your facilities and infection control teams to perform a risk assessment. We establish critical barriers, negative air pressure zones, and use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to completely isolate our work area and protect all patient care environments.
- Air Handling Unit (AHU) Decontamination: We thoroughly clean and sanitize the heart of your system—the AHU. This includes cleaning evaporator and condenser coils, blower assemblies, and condensate drain pans, and applying an EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to prevent future microbial growth.
- Comprehensive Ductwork Sanitization: Using advanced HEPA-filtered vacuum systems and controlled agitation devices, our certified technicians remove all particulate and microbial contaminants from within the supply, return, and exhaust ductwork.
- Application of Hospital-Grade Sanitizers: Following source removal, we apply an EPA-registered, hospital-grade sanitizer and disinfectant. These agents are specifically formulated to eliminate airborne pathogens without leaving behind harmful residues.
- System Verification & Documentation: We provide comprehensive post-service reports, including before-and-after photos, methodology statements, and data from air quality tests. This documentation serves as a permanent record for your facility management and compliance needs.

| Type of Cooking Operation | Cleaning Frequency |
|---|---|
| Solid Fuel Cooking (Wood, Charcoal) | Monthly |
| High-Volume Operations (24-Hour, Wok Cooking, Charbroiling) | Quarterly |
| Moderate-Volume Operations (Most Restaurants) | Semi-Annually |
| Low-Volume Operations (Churches, Day Camps) | Annually |
We use stringent containment protocols, including creating sealed work zones under negative pressure and employing HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration equipment to ensure that no contaminants from the HVAC system are released into the patient care environment.
We use only EPA-registered, hospital-grade sanitizers and disinfectants that have been approved for use in HVAC systems. They are selected for their effectiveness against a broad spectrum of pathogens and their safety profile.
