Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021161144A1] This confinement assembly (I), which is intended to be fitted to a high-risk room (100) in order to permit safe interventions in that room, comprises an airlock (1) equipped with two passages (19, 20), a skirt (3) that is as one with the airlock, this skirt defining a confined tunnel (4) opening into one (20) of the two passages, means (42) for pressing the skirt onto a partition (110) of the room, means (5) for extracting the contaminated air, that is present in said room, through a lateral wall (33) of the skirt, in such a way that the room volume is placed at reduced pressure compared to the tunnel, and means (80, 82) for the controlled admission of air into said room, which means are able to admit air into that room when the value of said reduced pressure is greater than a predetermined threshold. The confinement assembly according to the invention provides, first and foremost, effective protection with respect to the personnel tasked with carrying out operations in the high-risk room. Moreover, it has the advantage of a smaller footprint, implementation can be reversible, and it can be installed rapidly inside the high-risk room. This is especially attractive in the context of an epidemic-type episode, which requires a large number of rooms to be fitted out in order to accommodate a high number of at least potentially contaminated patients.
