Palencia Dental and CDC, State of Florida updates with FDA-approved air purification system

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Oct. 4, 2020 - PRLog -- Stephanie Kinsey, DDS, owner and founder of Palencia Dental (http://www.palenciadental.com/), recently noted updates according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/)) and the State of Florida (https://www.flgov.com/wp-content/uploads/covid19/Taskforce%20Report.pdf) for dental and medical practices, with the recently installed, scientifically advanced air purification system at the practice office in St. Augustine, Fla. The NASA bioconversion technology converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous pathogens, destructive volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and biological gasses into harmless water vapor without producing ozone or other harmful byproducts. Energy efficient treated air exits the small Airocide device as 99.999 percent  pathogen free fresh air and cleans the air of common allergy triggers such as viruses, bacteria, mold and gasses emitted by products like aerosol sprays, cleaning products, dry-cleaned clothing, paint, carpet, furniture and air fresheners, among others.

"With the concerns of COVID 19 in the medical and health environment, we can further assure patients and our staff about the health and safety of our dental practice," said Dr. Kinsey. "We are confident about the system which is cleared by the FDA as a Class 2 medical device with technology that serves to protect astronauts and environments on the International Space Station and the Columbia shuttle."

Specifically, the device draws the air from the dental practice environment into the unit and across hollow glass tubes which are coated with a catalyst to create photocatalytic oxidation, a safe, efficient method to produce no harmful byproducts.

"This is one more step that Palencia Dental is taking to follow every precaution to keep our team and patients healthy," said Dr. Kinsey. "During the pandemic and all other times, we place great emphasis on essential treatments and procedures. We are seeing patients in need of a doctor's care due to acute and chronic pain, oral health issues, sleep and breathing disorders, and non-elective procedures, among others," she said.
