PERTH AMBOY, N.J., April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spartan Shielding, LLC., a full-service shielding company serving the medical, government/military and industrial sectors, announced today a modular isolation chamber ideal for medical staff or patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis.
Designed by the company's inhouse team of architects, engineers and construction experts, the isolation rooms can be configured to any size and used in hospitals or in any facility needing to separate and treat individuals, or give staff a safe haven to rest. Cabins can be set up with a negative air or positive air configuration.
The World Health Organization reported in UN News on April 7 that COVID-19 has caused "unprecedented levels of overwork by nurses, particularly those specialized in intensive care units, those in management or those most directly involved in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, oftentimes without adequate time for rest and recuperation, without support and assistance, with limited considerations for their mental health and wellbeing."

"Our whole purpose is about improving and saving lives," said Geoff Pierini, CEO of Spartan Shielding and its parent company, Excalibur Group. "We've been in the healthcare design and construction industry for 25 years and are very in touch with the needs of doctors, nurses and employees in healthcare, especially in the New York market. This is something we can do to provide a place for them to take off their protective gear, rest and get a little peace of mind."
Spartan is now seeking interest in the solution from hospitals and government agencies overseeing emergency response to COVID-19.
"Typical isolation rooms take a lot more time to fabricate, whereas one of these chambers only takes an hour to build," noted John Vas, Spartan Shielding's COO, who led the design effort to use materials that could be easily wiped down or cleaned after use. Because COVID-19 can linger on metal, the units use finishes such as anti-microbial paint that can be easily wiped down, sprayed or fogged.
D&B Building Solutions in Bloomfield, NJ, and Global Plasma Solutions (GPS), an indoor air quality technology company in Charlotte, NC, supplied the air cleaning technology.
"We work with many hospitals in the New York and New Jersey area – whatever we can do to help healthcare workers and keep Coronavirus from spreading, we will," explained Edward O'Connor, partner, D&B Building Solutions.
