To ensure the best air filtration for a healthcare facility use filters with a MERV-A rating that matches the facility requirements, according to an article on the Facility Care website.
Poor air filtration can let bacteria, dust and mold spores patient care spaces.
MERV — Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value — refers to the number that describes the size of the particles captured by an air filter.
Healthcare facility managers should select an air filter where the MERV-A value meets or exceeds the MERV value. For example, a MERV 14 air filter should also have a MERV-A value of MERV-14A, the article said.
