Over the past few days, a nucleic acid testing campaign for all residents was started in many regions of China. In the campaign, the medical staff were all facing a difficulty that the thick protective suits are too stuffy for them in such a hot summer.

However, the difficulty abated at the nucleic acid testing site in Changyuan Maternity and Child Health Hospital on August 19, because new-type positive-pressure protective suits, designed by Tuoren Group in Changyuan (a county-level city of Henan province), had been provided for the medical staff there. During the break time, the medical staff could inflate cool air to their protective suits with a special air conditioner to help them feel cooler. Those medical staff in the inflated protective suits looked "fatty" and lovely, while the residents were still worried about them due to their heavy workloads.

Tuoren Group has updated its previous positive-pressure protective suits into the latest temperature-adjustable ones with quaternary ammonium salt filters installed, inside which the temperature can be adjusted between 26-29 degrees Celsius. Compared with the old thick protective suits, the latest temperature-adjustable ones are more comfortable and welcomed among the medical staff.
According to Cui Junqing, head of the Department of Health and Hygiene Protection Solutions of Tuoren Group, their positive-pressure protective suits are the first new type in China that have been qualified the Medical Device Registration Certificate (Class II). Now, portable air conditioners have been used for the lasted ones. Each air conditioner can inflate cool air to 3 suits. Besides, the filters have also been updated with a powerful antibacterial function. After using 4 to 10 hours, such filters can still prevent 99.995 percent of harmful substances.
