Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the benefits of using focused laminar air flow systems in operating rooms to significantly reduce the risk of infections and maintain high antiseptic conditions.

Specifications
Focused laminar air flow systems filter air through HEPA filters, ensuring it is free of microorganisms. The air is directed immediately onto surgical instruments and the surgical site, reducing bacterial load by more than 95% compared to conventional ventilation systems.

Procedures
Instruments are prepared in zones protected by focused laminar air flow, maintaining sterility even during long operations. The system allows for the instrument table to be moved towards the surgical site, ensuring continuous protection.

Standards and Compliance
The system complies with ISO class 5 standards for extreme sterile conditions and bears the CE marking, adhering to the Medical Device Directive 93/42 EEC.

Recommendations
Using focused laminar air flow systems is recommended to reduce surgical field and instrument contamination, thereby combating bacterial biofilm infections and ensuring traceability for medical defense purposes.

Data and Analysis
Conventional ventilation systems result in a bacterial load of 63.5 - 381 CFU/m3 after 60 minutes, whereas focused laminar air flow systems reduce this to 0.2 - 0.52 CFU/m3, demonstrating their effectiveness in maintaining aseptic conditions.

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...
