Abatement Technologies HEPA-CARE HC800CD Ceiling-Mounted Air Filtration System
Product Details
The HEPA-CARE® HC800CD is a dual-impeller, ceiling-mounted HEPA air purification system for patient isolation rooms, healthcare construction zones, and large fixed environments requiring controlled negative pressure, recirculation, or positive pressure airflow. It is registered as a Class II Medical Device under FDA 510(k) and independently tested and certified to UL and CSA safety standards by TÜV SÜD, an OSHA-accredited Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
The HC800CD suspends above the ceiling in a standard 2 ft × 4 ft drop ceiling grid. Two EC motorized impellers deliver up to 850 CFM of HEPA-filtered airflow — capable of maintaining 12 or more air changes per hour in rooms up to approximately 3,000–3,500 cubic feet. The wall-mounted control panel (HC880CP) connects via CAT-5e and can be mounted in the room or remotely. The unit is hard-wired to the building electrical system — installation must be performed by qualified maintenance personnel and all wiring by a licensed electrician per local, NEC, and CEC codes.
Important: The HC800CD is designed for indoor use only. It is not intrinsically safe for use in hazardous, combustible, flammable, or oxygen-deficient atmospheres. For general ventilating use only — do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials.
HC800CD vs. HC500CD — Which Unit Is Right for the Room?
| HC800CD | HC500CD | |
| Ceiling Grid | 2 ft × 4 ft | 2 ft × 2 ft |
| Impellers | 2 EC motorized | 1 EC motorized |
| Peak Airflow | 850 CFM | 550 CFM (grille) |
| Max Room Size (12 ACH) | ~3,000–3,500 ft³ | ~2,250–2,750 ft³ |

Two-Stage Filtration
Air enters through the louvered bottom intake grille and passes through two filter stages. The first stage is a 2" pleated MERV 8 particulate pre-filter (P/N: HC1802AM) that protects the HEPA filter from premature loading. The second stage is an individually tested and certified H14 HEPA filter (P/N: HC1836-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. Both filters must be installed and the hinged access door secured before operating the unit.
An optional VAPOR-LOCK® high-capacity 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 without creating pressure differentials. |
| 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. |
