The IAC221 Infrared Air Conditioning Controller is a dedicated service module for hospital bedside terminals, designed to integrate seamlessly with a facility’s central HVAC system. Featuring precise infrared signaling and built-in ambient temperature sensing, the IAC221 empowers patients and caregivers to adjust room climate directly from the bedside interface. This ensures optimal comfort, streamlined workflows, and energy-efficient operation without the need for separate remotes or manual thermostat adjustments.
Key Functions
-
Central AC Compatibility
Works with most central air conditioning units via infrared protocols, allowing control over fan speed, cooling/heating modes, and setpoint adjustments.
-
Infrared Signal Transmission
Uses reliable IR blasting technology from a discreet bedside module—no line-of-sight remotes required—ensuring commands reach ceiling-mounted or concealed units.
-
Ambient Temperature Measurement
Integrated high-precision temperature sensor continuously monitors room temperature to display real-time readings and verify that setpoints are met.
-
Touchscreen & Remote Operation
Control directly on the bedside terminal’s touchscreen or via the MT15 mobile app, giving patients autonomy and staff flexibility to make adjustments without entering the room.
-
Preset Comfort Modes
Factory-configured modes (e.g., “Rest,” “Therapy,” “Night”) tailor temperature, airflow, and humidity settings for different clinical scenarios, all selectable with one touch.
-
Adaptive Scheduling
Supports programmable schedules tied to patient routines—automatically lowers temperature overnight for improved sleep or boosts airflow during daytime therapy sessions.
-
System Status Feedback
Visual indicators on the terminal show current mode, target temperature, and real-time sensor readings, ensuring transparency and reducing support inquiries.
Advantages
-
Enhanced Patient Comfort
Patients can fine-tune their environment without leaving bed or waiting for staff, improving satisfaction and rest quality during recovery.
-
Operational Efficiency
Staff and facilities teams save time by remotely managing room climate—reducing manual thermostat visits and minimizing interruptions to clinical workflows.
-
Energy Savings
Precise temperature control and adaptive scheduling reduce HVAC runtime during unoccupied periods or overnight, lowering utility costs and environmental impact.
-
Improved Infection Control
Hands-free, IR-based commands eliminate the need to touch shared thermostats or remotes, supporting hygiene protocols and reducing cross-contamination risk.
-
Data-Driven Optimization
Continuous ambient temperature logs enable facilities managers to identify anomalies, balance system loads, and adjust setpoints for peak energy performance.
-
Seamless Integration
As part of the bedside terminal ecosystem, the IAC221 requires no additional wiring or user training—making deployment quick and maintenance minimal.
