INTRODUCTION

WARNING Always read before commissioning. Please carefully follow the instructions in the operating manual. Non-observance will invalidate the warranty. GAMA Healthcare accepts no liability for any damage or consequential damage arising from this.

Product description

  • Rediair is a mobile air decontamination device that removes numerous microorganisms, particulates and gaseous pollutants from the air. This group includes mould spores, bacteria, airborne pathogens, animal hair and above all, house dust allergens (mite faeces, excrements), but also heavy metals, soot and mineral fibres. (Figure 1-Product image)
  • Rediair comes with 2 HEPA 14 carbon filters & 2 pre-filters, and a 2-metre power cord, designed to operate with a shockproof 230V/50hz plug socket. The HEPA 14 filters and pre-filters are removable for cleaning and replacement.
  • Rediair is designed to be stationary when in operation (out of standby mode). The user can select its three operating modes: automatic, turbo and night mode at will. Additional functions such as night mode, a timer setting and child lock help Rediair adapt to various situations and environments.
  • An internal particle sensor combined with an LED air quality indicator strip monitors a room’s air quality and changes depending on the current air quality. Rediair will change its internal fan speeds to account for the CADR required to decontaminate the surrounding air when in automatic mode.

Intended use
Rediair is a mobile air decontamination unit that draws in air from the environment, passing through two three-stage filtration systems simultaneously. The filter stages consist of pre-filter, followed by composite HEPA 14 and carbon filters to remove 99.995% of airborne particulates down to 0.3µm.

Limitations of use
Rediair is designed to be used in private apartments, offices, conference and training rooms, schools and public authorities, surgeries and fitness centres, and other areas where people are present. A local risk assessment should be conducted before Rediair is commissioned for use.

REDIAIR’S 3 STAGES OF DECONTAMINATION ARE:

Rediair’s 3 stages of decontamination are:

  1. Pre-filter
    A washable plastic pre-filter filters coarse dust particles of more than 5 micrometres, such as house dust, scales, pollen. The filter can be washed out with water and reused several times. GAMA Healthcare recommends replacing the pre-filter twice a year.

  2. Effective formaldehyde filter
    A formaldehyde filter with activated carbon cleans the air of unwanted odours, gases and substances. It also cleans the air of harmful formaldehyde in a relatively quick time. The activated carbon absorbs the substances, and when the filter is saturated, the filter must be replaced. GAMA Healthcare recommends replacement every six months. In case of strong odour pollution, a more frequent change is advisable.

  3. Highly efficient HEPA 14 filter (suspended matter filter)
    The HEPA 14 filter filters airborne microorganisms, smoke, and dust particles down to 1μm in size at a rate of 99.995% or more. In combination with stage 2, the HEPA 14 filter can catch microscopic particles with a minimum diameter of 20 nanometres, like bacterial mould, dust, allergens, and airborne viruses. According to the World Health Organisation, COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), avian flu virus, influenza virus, and legionella bacteria are larger than 20 nanometres.

HOW TO USE

SETUP
Before getting started and switching on the Rediair, please remove all packaging. The Rediair filters must be removed from their protective packaging.

LCD TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

  1. Power on/off
    To switch Rediair on/off, press the power button. Rediair will start in automatic mode. In automatic mode, the motor speed will be controlled by a sensor, which is automatically regulated in 3 stages, depending on the air quality. Pressing the power button again will put the Rediair unit back into standby mode.

  2. Speed setting (manual mode)
    Press to enter ‘manual mode’ and cycle through fan speed settings. Speed selection is only available in manual mode.

  3. Mode selection
    The mode button allows you to cycle through the 3 additional modes of operation:

  4. Automatic mode: Rediair will select the appropriate speed, depending on the current air quality. In low light conditions (e.g. at night), Rediair automatically reduces the fan speed (see ‘3.8 Light Sensor’).

  5. Turbo mode: Made to provide maximum decontamination, turbo mode allows the Rediair fan to operate at its highest speeds.

  6. Night mode: Rediair will operate at its quietest level. All lights and displays are turned off and the fan runs at its slowest speed. In sleep mode, Rediair will not respond to the air quality sensor.

  7. Timer setting
    The ‘Timer’ setting lets Rediair operate automatically for a select period, ranging from 1 hour to 12 hours. Press the button until your desired time appears on the display. 10 seconds after the last press, the display switches back to the air quality display. To switch off the timer setting, press the ‘Timer’ button until no hour signals are lit up on the display.

  8. Child lock
    To activate the child lock safety feature, press the ‘Child Lock’ button on the display. To unlock, press and hold the button for 10 seconds.

  9. Filter indicator
    The Rediair filter indicator displays the status of the main filters. After 3000 hours of operation, this indicator will light up continuously red, prompting you to replace the main filters. If the filter indicator flashes red intermittently, it is time to clean the pre-filters.

  10. Working time display: Press the filter indicator button to view working time of the current filters on the main display (3.6). As the Rediair display has only 3 digits, values of 1000 hours or more will scroll across the screen. For example, below shows a working time of 2349 hours.

  11. Resetting the filter time: To reset the timer after changing the filters, press and hold the filter indicator for 10 seconds. Both the filter indicator and the working time will reset.

  12. Air quality indicator
    The air quality is displayed by the LED ring as outlined above, and shown numerically in the display in µg/m3.

  13. Light sensor
    In automatic mode, if ambient light falls below 3 lumens for more than 3 minutes, Rediair will enter night mode. If light levels then exceed 3 lumens for 5 minutes, Rediair will switch back to automatic mode.

NOTE The light sensor is only active in automatic mode. If night mode is selected manually, using the ‘Mode Selection’ button (3.3), Rediair will remain in night mode regardless of the ambient light.

DISPOSAL, CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

External surface cleaning
Before performing any filter change, clean/decontaminate the external surface of the Rediair device. When cleaning the exterior, remember to:

  • Clean from top to bottom and from clean to dirty areas.
  • Wipe in an ‘S’ shape to avoid recontamination of areas you’ve already cleaned.
  • If using a disinfectant, ensure that recommended contact times are reached.

Filter changing and cleaning
Changing the main Rediair filter is displayed by the filter indicator button located on the digital display. Pre-filters should be cleaned regularly, at least once a month. When the filter indicator changes to red after 3000 hours (approximately twice a year), you should replace the main Rediair filter. After replacing the Rediair main filter, reset the filter.

Cleaning a pre-filter

  • The surface of the pre-filter can be vacuumed with a HEPA filter if available.
  • The pre-filter can also be rinsed with clean water but must be completely dry before being used again as any remaining moisture could potentially cause damage to the HEPA 14 filter.

Cleaning and changing times

  • Pre-filters are to be cleaned twice a month and replaced twice a year.
  • Main filters are to be replaced twice a year.
  • The ioniser is located within the device and can’t be replaced.
  • The particle sensor should be cleaned every 2 months.

WARNING Before dismantling Rediair to perform filter maintenance/replacement, a local risk assessment should consider the appropriate PPE.
WARNING Always unplug the Rediair before dismantling device to perform filter maintenance/replacement.

CLEANING AND CHANGING TIMES

Disposal
Used Rediair filters can be disposed of following local waste guidance policies. Also, if the device has been used in polluted air situations, the filter must be packed into an airtight bag and disposed of per local waste guidance policies. In the case of contamination with viruses, please consult local guidance for the appropriate PPE. Respiratory protection is recommended at a minimum of FFP2.

Decommissioning
Rediair has been designed to operate for many years. However, please ensure you follow your local waste guidance policies beforehand if the device must be disposed of.
