[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Sinsung ENG and AvataMed announced on the 6th that, with consultation from the Infectious Disease Response Center at Samsung Seoul Hospital, they installed a temporary screening clinic at Samsung Seoul Hospital at the end of last month.

The temporary screening clinic was installed as a complex facility in the form of an air tent, including a storage warehouse and consultation booths. The air tent, which can be quickly installed by air inflation, is waterproof and flame-retardant, and its structural strength has been enhanced to ensure stable operation even in rain and heavy snow. After use, it can be easily folded and stored, increasing its usability.

Additionally, both sides of the temporary screening clinic are utilized to separate the flow of asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals, and the area is divided into an anteroom, medical room, and mechanical room, maintaining a perfect positive pressure state to prevent outside air from entering, prioritizing the safety of medical staff.

It is also noteworthy that many cleanroom technologies used in semiconductor and display factories were applied. Sensors detect minute wind direction and speed changes, and if the airflow reverses, the detection sensor immediately responds, automatically adjusting the indoor pressure with positive and negative pressure devices to ensure the air flows in the correct direction within a short time.

The mechanical design was innovated so that the positive and negative pressure devices can be easily switched according to their intended use. A UV (ultraviolet) lamp, which is excellent at removing viruses and bacteria, is built-in, allowing for outdoor use. Additionally, a cooling system with sterilization functions is installed for medical staff working inside the tent even during midsummer.

Furthermore, a platform that smartly and automatically controls all these devices has been applied.

Through the installation of the temporary screening clinic, Sinsung ENG plans to further identify difficulties experienced in medical sites and continuously advance mobile negative pressure isolation rooms that can effectively respond to any infectious disease issues that may arise in the future.
