- Brief Summary
This study is a safety assessment of the iZephyr hood a novel aerosol removal device in patients receiving non invasive ventilation for COVID-19.
- Detailed Description
Demonstrate that safety and suitability of the iZephyr Hood in patients receiving non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high flow oxygen therapy (HFOT).
Determine the user acceptability of the iZephyr Hood in patients receiving NIV and HFOT.
Determine the reduction in aerosol spread of COVID-19 viral particles when using the Zephyr hood in patients using non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen.

Group Intervention Description With i-zephyr iZephyr hood using the hood
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Determine the background concentration of SARS-Co-V2 around COVID patients receiving NIV 3 month Air and surface sampling for SARS Co-V2 around COVID patients receiving non invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen therapy.
Impact of iZephyr hood on environmental SARS Co-V2 contamination 12 months Determine if there is a change in the concentration of SARS-Co-V2 virus on the surfaces and in the air samples surrounding a COVID-19 positive patient whilst using the iZephyr compared to when not using the iZephyr.
Determine the background concentration of SARS-Co-V2 when the iZephyr hood is in use 12 months Air and surface sampling for SARS Co-V2 around COVID patients receiving non invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen therapy inside an iZephyr hood.
