    Product Details

    The HEPA-CARE® HC500FD is a portable, floor-standing HEPA air purification system designed for patient isolation in healthcare facilities. It can be rolled into any room and set up for negative pressure operation — converting a standard room into a surge-capacity isolation room without construction. It is registered as a Class II Medical Device under FDA 510(k) and certified to UL and CSA safety standards by a TÜV SÜD, an OSHA-accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

    The HC500FD shares the same H14 HEPA filtration, pharmaceutical-grade silicone-gel seal, touchscreen control panel, and filter part numbers as the ceiling-mounted HC500CD — the key difference is portability. It plugs into a standard 120 VAC circuit via a 10' hospital-grade cord and rolls on swivel casters with foot brakes. For a UV disinfection option, order the HC500FDUV.

    Two-Stage Filtration

    The first stage is a 2" pleated MERV 8 particulate pre-filter (P/N: HC1802AM) that captures larger particles and protects the HEPA filter. The second stage is an individually tested and certified H14 HEPA filter (P/N: HC1818-H14) with a pharmaceutical-grade silicone-gel seal — certified to capture at least 99.995% of particles at the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). The gel seal creates a zero-bypass perimeter seal, forcing all air through the filter media.

    An optional VAPOR-LOCK® activated carbon pre-filter (P/N: HC1802CF) is available separately in place of the standard pleated pre-filter for OVG (odors, vapors, gases) capture. The standard particulate filters do not remove odors, vapors, gases, or volatile organic compounds.

    Modes of Operation

    Negative Pressure Unit placed inside the containment area. Exhaust is ducted outside via rigid or flexible duct at the outlet. HEPA-filtered exhaust volume must exceed air entering the room by at least 10% or 100 CFM to maintain the pressure differential. Recommended for patient isolation per CDC/CSA requirements.
    Recirculation Filtered exhaust returns directly into the same room. Used to continuously reduce airborne contaminant concentrations in ER waiting rooms, high-risk areas, and similar environments.
    Positive Pressure Unit placed outside the containment area. HEPA-filtered air is ducted into the protected space. Unit must be located outside the containment area when used in this mode.
