Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Operio sterile air flow system, designed to enhance asepsis in operating theatres, particularly for plastic and reconstructive surgeries. It highlights the system's ability to significantly reduce bacterial and viral contamination, including SARS-CoV-2, through the use of high-purifying HEPA H 14 filters.
Key Specifications: The Operio system utilizes HEPA H 14 filters to achieve a 99.9% purification rate of air in the operating room. It is designed to create a germ-free zone, offering protection for both the surgical team and patients. The system is compliant with ISO class 5 standards and the Medical Device Directive 93/42 EEC.
Comparison with Conventional Systems: Traditional ventilation systems direct air towards the floor, leading to potential contamination. In contrast, the Operio system uses focused laminar air flow to directly protect the surgical site and instruments, reducing bacterial load by over 95% compared to conventional systems.
Benefits: The Operio system helps prevent prosthetic implant infections by maintaining sterility in the surgical field. It is particularly beneficial during the COVID-19 pandemic by reducing infection risks. The system's mobility and adjustable height make it adaptable for various surgical needs.
Technical Features: The Operio devices are compact and suitable for small rooms. They come with removable instrument tables of varying lengths and feature electrical height adjustment. The system's continuous air cleaning capability reduces germ levels throughout the operating room.
Research and Validation: Studies have shown significant reductions in bacterial load and particle counts in surgical fields using the Operio system. It complies with DIN 1946-4 standards for room class 1a, ensuring low germ levels.
Conclusion: The Operio sterile air flow system offers a highly effective solution for maintaining asepsis in operating theatres, surpassing conventional ventilation systems in reducing contamination and infection risks.

operating theatre ventilation system plastic and reconstructive surgery-1

Operating theatre ventilation system plastic and reconstructive surgery Operio sterile Air Flow: the devices work with high-purifying Hepa H 14 filters which purify the air in the operating room and on the instruments practically completely (99.9%) of bacteria, viruses (also coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) and other microorganisms . With this principle, an extremely high level of antisepsis can be achieved in the operating theater and on the instruments, which was previously only possible in a very expensive operating rooms. Preventing prosthetic implant infections: the sterility of the surgical field and the instruments is not restricted by the horizontal laminar air flow Operio. Turbulence and germs are largely excluded. This principle achieves up to 95% more “sterility” than with conventional air supply ceilings in the operating theater and on the instruments (see studies). The Operio laminar air flow can be positioned in such a way that a “germ-free zone” is set up, which offers the greatest possible protection for both the surgical team and the patient. Operio sterile air flow helps to perform operations during COVID-19 pandemic by reducing the risks for both patients and operating team .

Focus laminar air flow Conventional ventilation system Bacterial load after 60 min. Bacterial load after 60 min. 0,2- 0,52 CFU/m3 (*1) Focused laminar flow systems: the air is filtered through hepa filters free of microorganisms and then directed immediately onto the surgical instruments and surgical site. It is only then distributed throughout the operating theatre. This protects the critical area of the operating theatre, i.e. the instruments and the surgical site. With this system, the bacterial load on the instruments and surgical site is reduced by more than 95% compared with conventional...

operating theatre ventilation system plastic and reconstructive surgery-3

Technical specifications The Operio devices are extremely small and handy and can also be used in very small rooms. The removable instrument table from Operio is available in various lengths of 45 cm (for intravitreal injections), 60 cm (for ophthalmic operations and intravitreal injections) and 75 cm (for operations that require a lot of instruments). The electrical height adjustment can be carried out by the sterile OR staff (using a sterile covered display) as well as by the other OR staff using a separate display. There is no need to purchase a separate instrument table for storing the instruments....
