Surgical light Q-Flow-4

Decreased microbial load at the operating area Design optimised for air flow (Q-OptiFlow™) Hospital associated infections (HAIs) are a highly recognized challenge in hospitals around the world. HAIs increase morbidity, mortality and length of hospital stay, adding to health care costs. More than 4 million patients in Europe and approximately 1.7 million in the US are affected annually. The prevalence of HAIs in Europe is around 7.1 %. One cause of contamination is uncontrolled air flow in operating theatres. Q-FlowTM is designed for an optimised air flow that allows ventilation to work properly...

Surgical light Q-Flow-5

Superb colour rendering The colour rendering of Q-FlowTM is outstanding. The R9 value is the best in its class R9 99, which means a perfect value of red rendering and therefore a better definition of tissues and blood vessels for the surgeon. The R13 value 99 is also excellent, which is particularly important for plastic surgery and accurate skin colour. Test Colours Used In Calculating CRI

Surgical light Q-Flow-6

Deep column of light & Green ambilite % Deep column of light decreases the need to adjust the light and thus improves efficiency in operating theatres. Depth of illumination L1+L2 at 60 % is 750 mm (Q-Flow 6) and 700 mm (Q-Flow 4). At 20 % the value is 1700 mm (Q-Flow 6) and 1400 mm (Q-Flow 4). Dynamic Obstacle Compensation (DOC™) Merivaara’s Dynamic Obstacle Compensation (DOC™) provides optimal light in all circumstances. If a light beam is temporarily obstructed, the intensity of the remaining beams will increase in compensation, maintaining ideal illumination in the surgical area. Together...
