Performing eye surgeries in temporary or mobile setups, such as an ophthalmic surgical tent, presents unique challenges in maintaining strict sterile conditions. Traditional hospital HVAC systems are not feasible in field-based or high-turnover ophthalmic clinics. The Operio Mobile Laminar Air Flow System offers a cutting-edge, portable solution that ensures ISO 5 sterile conditions for safe and efficient ophthalmic procedures—even in non-traditional environments.
In ophthalmology, procedures like cataract surgery and intravitreal injections (IVOM) require ultra-clean environments to prevent infections such as endophthalmitis. In surgical tents, the risk of airborne contamination is significantly higher due to the lack of integrated air purification systems and frequent personnel movement.
The Operio system solves this by creating a highly focused, sterile air barrier over the surgical site and instrument table, eliminating 99.995% of airborne particles—including bacteria and viruses—within seconds.
✅ ISO 5 Sterile Air in 2 Minutes – Rapid deployment in mobile or high-volume settings.
✅ Direct Air Protection – Sterile laminar airflow is not blocked by surgical microscopes or staff movement.
✅ HEPA H14 Filtration – Ultra-fine filtration eliminates airborne contaminants.
✅ Compact & Mobile – Fits easily into portable operating environments like tents and ambulatory units.
✅ Silent and Comfortable – No cold air and ultra-quiet operation ideal for long eye procedures.
Feature | Operio Mobile Airflow | Traditional Tent Setup |
---|---|---|
Sterility Level | ISO 5 | Variable, often ISO 7–8 or lower |
Airflow Disruption | None (microscope/staff don’t interfere) | Frequent due to equipment and movement |
Setup Requirements | Plug & play | Complex HVAC needed |
Operating Costs | Low (290W) | High maintenance and energy use |
Comfort | No cold air, quiet | Cold airflow, noise common |
In mobile ophthalmology units or temporary surgical tents, many patients are treated back-to-back. Traditional systems can’t achieve sterility between cases fast enough. Operio ensures:
Rapid sterilization in under 2 minutes
Continuous ISO 5 protection across all procedures
Enhanced patient safety and workflow efficiency
Operio is:
✅ CE-certified
✅ Compliant with EU MDR 2017/745
✅ Meets international standards EN 60601-1:2006, ISO 14971:2012
✅ Fully compatible with mobile surgical environments
With Operio, eye surgeries in mobile tents, disaster zones, or outpatient centers can be performed with the same level of sterility as top-tier hospitals—without the cost or complexity of permanent infrastructure.
