Operio is a portable device for use in a surgical operating room that produces a directed, non-turbulent flow of air to the surgical site during ophthalmic surgery and to the sterile instruments used during surgery. The air flow from the device is HEPA-filtered to reduce the presence of particulate matter to reduce the microorganisms to a level of
The air zone unit Operio is used in a surgical operating room for cleaning the air in a given area by re-circulating the ambient air and cleaning it from airborne particles. The air is filtered through a HEPA filter and the air is generated over the areas where the demands of clean air are especially high. The air zone unit Operio is equipped with a control panel for adjustments and for positioning of the unit.
The air zone unit Operio is a mobile unit that with the help of castors easily can be moved around the patient to an optimal position or, when needed, transported inside the hospital between wards. It is also equipped with an optional instrument tray.
By using a unique sterile shield as a protective barrier the air zone unit can be placed close to the OR table and deliver HEPA filtered air to the surgical site and instruments to reduce the presence of airborne particulate and microorganisms.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Operio device, based on the provided document:
