[**Room Pressure Monitors for protection rooms**](https://www.setra.com/products/room-pressure-monitoring/model-srpm-room-pressure-monitor) provide real-time monitoring to ensure that the protection room is in a positive pressure state and in compliance with safety regulations.  Guarantee that patients (or processes) within protection room are safe from potential contaminants existing in unfiltered air.

[**Room Pressure Monitors for isolation rooms**](https://www.setra.com/products/room-pressure-monitoring/model-srim2-room-isolation-monitor) provide real-time monitoring to ensure that isolation room is in a negative pressure state and in compliance with safety regulations.  Guarantee that staff and other hospital occupants are not at risk to what is contained within isolation.<https://www.setra.com/building-automation/critical-care-applications>

**What to Consider:**

- Does the facility have a BAS? (Building Automation System)
- What is the required communication protocol? (BACnet, LON, analog, etc.)
- Does the job require audible/visible alarms? Local and/or remote?
- How many primary rooms need to monitored? Are there any secondary rooms?
- What parameters other than pressure need to be monitored? Do they need alarms?
- Is this a building upgrade or new construction? Are there existing sensors in place?
