Recommendations for Endotracheal Intubation of COVID-19 Patients

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides recommendations for the use of Operio devices in endotracheal intubation of COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a sterile environment in operating rooms.

Specifications
Operio devices utilize high-purification Hepa H 14 filters that purify air by over 99.9%, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses (including SARS-CoV-2), and other microorganisms. These devices can filter 400 m3 of air per hour, ensuring a germ-free zone that protects both the surgical team and patients.

Applications
The focused laminar air flow units are applicable in various medical procedures such as prosthesis, eye surgery, ambulatory surgery, and more. They comply with ISO class 5 standards for extreme sterile conditions, reducing contamination by up to 95%.

Procedures and Recommendations
The document highlights the importance of positioning the Operio devices to create a germ-free zone, especially during surgeries involving COVID-19 patients. The devices are mobile and can be set up quickly without construction work, making them suitable for upgrading existing operating rooms.

Technical Specifications
The devices are compact and come with adjustable instrument tables of varying lengths. They meet several medical device standards, including CE marking and compliance with the Medical Device Directive 93/42 EEC.

Studies and Reports
Various studies confirm the efficacy of Operio devices in reducing bacterial load in operating rooms. A study by the University of Greifswald reported a 1000-fold reduction in particles in the surgical field.

Conclusion
Operio devices provide a high level of asepsis, crucial for surgeries involving COVID-19 patients and other medical procedures requiring sterile conditions. Their mobility and efficiency make them a valuable addition to medical facilities.

Recommendations for Endotracheal Intubation of COVID-19 Patients-1

Recommendations for Endotracheal Intubation of COVID19 Patients Operio works with high-purification Hepa H 14 filters which purify the air practically completely (99.9%) from bacteria, viruses (also corona virus SARS-CoV-2) and other microorganisms The devices 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. Endotracheal Intubation of COVID-19 Patients The sterile Air Flow device Operio filters the ambient air through a highly cleaning H 14 Hepa filter with an efficiency of over 99.9% which eliminates bacteria and microorganisms (including Coronavirus Covid 19) to over 99.9%! The devices 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. The devices filter 400 m3 of air per hour so that the microorganisms are reduced in the entire room With a standard room of 40m3, the entire room is completely filtered every 6 minutes. Sterile Zone The air is sucked from the environment and filtered through Hepa H 14 filters The units have been used for more than 15 years with success to upgrade existing operating rooms to guarantee immediately a high level of asepsis. The mobility of this system enables the use of the units within some minutes without any construction work. The units are ready to use.

0,2-0,52 CFU/m3 (*1)63,5 -381 CFU/m3 (*2) 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 ventilation systems. Air filtered through conventional ventilation systems is first directed...

Recommendations for Endotracheal Intubation of COVID-19 Patients-4

Hand surgery maxillofacial surgery plastic surgery The positioning of the Operio laminar air flow unit is very easy. The sterile Air Flow protects both the instruments and the operating field. An extremely high level of asepsis is achieved, as the sterile air flow is not hindered by the surgical team or by surgical lights. The sterile air flow is perceived by the staff as very pleasant, as it does not generate cold air. Surgery with Covid-19 patients: the devices work with highly cleaning Hepa H 14 filters which also eliminate coronavirus Covid-19 to 99.9%! The devices can be positioned in such...

Technical specifications The devices are extremely small and handy and can also be used in very small spaces. The removable instrument table by Operio is available in various lengths of 45 cm (for the smallest operations), 60 cm (for normal operations) 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. The constant cleaning of the...
