A bedside airborne
pathogen control apparatus and
system. A bedside airborne
pathogen control apparatus and
system may include an
air treatment unit configured to be selectively coupled to a first surface of a
hospital bed (e.g., a headboard, a footboard, or a side rail), an air terminal configured to be selectively coupled to a second surface of the
hospital bed (e.g., the headboard, the footboard, or the side rail), and a flexible duct extending between the
air treatment unit and the air terminal, wherein the flexible duct is configured to deliver a supply of air from an air outlet of the
air treatment unit to the air terminal. The air
treatment unit and the air terminal may be configured to establish a flow of air around the
hospital bed to reduce the
dissemination of airborne pathogens from an occupant of the hospital
bed.
