Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Operio mobile laminar air flow system, designed to create cleanroom conditions for ophthalmic surgeries, particularly intravitreal injections and cataract surgeries. It emphasizes the importance of sterile air in preventing postoperative infections, such as endophthalmitis.
Specifications: Operio is an ISO 5 class device equipped with HEPA H 14 filters that trap 99.97% of particulates as small as 0.3 microns. It provides unidirectional airflow directly to the surgical field and instruments, ensuring high levels of asepsis.
Procedures and Applications: The system is applicable for various ophthalmic surgeries, including cataract, glaucoma, refractive, and laser surgeries. It is mobile, cost-effective, and can quickly transform any room into a cleanroom environment.
Standards and Compliance: Operio devices meet medical device standards 93/42 EEC / Class I, 2007/47 EEC, and guidelines 2004/108 / CE, EN 60601-1-2: 2014, EN 60601-1: 2006, EN ISO 14971: 2012, and EN ISO 13485: 2012. The protective effect is in accordance with DIN 1946-4.
Benefits and Recommendations: The system significantly reduces airborne contamination, achieving up to 95% more sterility compared to traditional air supply systems. It is recommended for upgrading existing operating theaters to achieve high aseptic conditions affordably.
Research and Studies: Studies have shown a 1000-fold reduction in particles and a 250-fold reduction in colony-forming units in the surgical field. The system's effectiveness in reducing airborne contamination has been documented in various scientific publications.
Technical Features: Operio devices are compact, with adjustable instrument tables available in different lengths. They feature a two-stage filtering system (F7 and H14 HEPA filters) and offer variable air volume settings.

Prevention of endophthalmitis and complications after intravitreal injections-1

Prevention of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injectionsAvoiding Complications of intravitreal injections Operio mobile laminar air flow creates cleanroom conditions for intravitreal injections and cataract surgery. Operio generates on the instruments and in the operating field aseptic conditions that is up to 100 times higher than in a conventional operating room for eye surgery. Operio mobile laminar air flow system is a very cost-effective system to obtain Cleanroom conditions for ophthalmic surgery without any construction work. Sterile air is an indispensable requirement for the smooth functioning of an ophthalmic operation theatre (OT). Unsterile air has been believed to be a major cause of outbreaks of post-surgical infections. Operio can be easily wheeled and quickly set up, turning any room into a cleanroom with sterile conditions like an ultramodern operating theatre. Operio is an ISO 5 class device; The Operio HEPA filters trap 99.97% of particulate of size 0.3 micron (μ). They achieve this by various mechanisms like direct impaction, sieving, interception and diffusion. Most microbes are in range of 0.5 to 5 μ in size. Operio provides unidirectional air flow towards OT table and instruments . The sterile air flow is directly directed to the instruments and the surgical field without any obstacles such as the surgical microscope or the surgical team and hence creates an extreme high level of asepsis which was so far hardly obtainable! The sterile OP-Air Flow device Operio enables inexpensive aseptic conditions to be created for operations and intravitreal injections in eye surgery. Operio works with high-purifying Hepa H 14 filters which purify the air in the operating room and on the instruments practically completely (99.995%) of bacteria and other microorganisms Operio sterile Air Flow is perceived by the staff as very pleasant because it does not generate cold air.

Traditional air flow ceilings only work very limited Operio: prepare the instruments protected With Operio, the instruments and implants can always be prepared in the protected area with the sterile Air Flow device. Then the operating instrument table is simply moved to the operating area and the protection area is then expanded to include also the operating area. An ultra-clean airflow from the ceiling downward may convey airborne particles from the surgical team into the wound, thus increasing the risk of infection. The mobile clean air zone unit ensures that the surgical site and instruments...

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....
