First Recipient of the IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition™
The International Respiratory Infections Society (IRIS) and Aerobiotix proudly announce Riverview Medical Center as the first healthcare facility to receive the IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition. This program, powered by Aerobiotix in collaboration with IRIS, recognizes healthcare providers committed to achieving superior air quality standards, particularly in operating rooms where reducing the risks of surgical site infections is crucial.
The IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition program supports facilities with best practices in air quality management, including advanced filtration and stringent monitoring processes. Facilities undergo a thorough assessment and on-site audit led by certified infection prevention experts to ensure they meet high standards for contaminant reduction. By achieving this seal, Riverview Medical Center demonstrates its dedication to prioritizing patient and staff health.
Ranked #13 in New Jersey and #28 in the New York metro area by U.S. News & World Report, Riverview Medical Center is celebrated for excellence in cardiac, cancer, maternity, and orthopedic care. This recognition reflects their ongoing commitment to top-tier patient safety and quality in healthcare environments.
Riverview Medical Center was recently featured in the AORN Journal for its commitment to perioperative air quality improvement. OR Nursing Leaders Allison Toto and Mildred DeVittorio successfully implemented Aerobiotix’s Illuvia® Sense air decontamination system to reduce airborne particulates by as much as 92.8%, maintaining zero reportable SSIs since deployment. This high-reliability technology supports cleaner air and safer surgical environments.
