Intravitreal injection room requirements

Safety Standards for Intravitreal Injection Therapy with local laminar air flow unit

Operio ultra clean air unit creates an ultraclean area to perform intravitreal injections both in office setting as well as in an ambulatory room or operating theater with up to 100-fold more aseptic conditions than a convectional operating room ISO 7 for eye surgery. The unit creates an ultraclean area to perform intravitreal injections both in office setting as well as in an ambulatory room or operating theater with up to 100-fold more aseptic conditions than a convectional operating room ISO 7 for eye surgery. Operio sterile Air Flow: the devices work with high-purifying Hepa H 14 filters which purify the air in the operating field for intravitreal injections 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 antiseptic conditions can be achieved in an office setting as well as in an operating theater which was previously only possible in a very expensive ISO 5 operating rooms. 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 in the entire room can be reduced.
