Blue Heaven Technologies
by Bob Burkhead
We're connecting mask producers with media producers; and completing a variety of testing for all health care applications and typical HVAC applications in the war on COVID 19, including:
• Testing for the screening of media candidates for respirator masks and medical masks
• Running full shifts and weekends
• Accelerating new launches to accommodate the COVID-19 driven needs
Examples of our fight against the pandemic include:
The COVID-19 project leader at Louisville's Norton Hospital asked us to test the performance of a large number of older HEPA filters in their old respirator suits leftover from the last health crisis. Samples were hand carried to us (keeping our social distance) - we tested and returned finished reports in a day, providing assurances of safe health care to hospital workers. We donated our time and fees for the tests.
Mask give away - One Ohio customer air-freighted new mask making equipment from China to the U.S. to produce masks they intended to give away! The equipment is up and running and making high performance masks based on our testing efforts. Testing was complimentary. We would do the same for anyone that is giving masks away!
We are focused to stay the spread of the virus - working from home and separating in our distinct buildings. It's going to be a long haul - when we look back, this will be a "character building" experience.
