APPLICATIONS The UCV is designed for use in new or existing operating theatres where the elimination of airborne bacteria and other contaminants is of critical importance. A typical application is in orthopaedic operating theatres where the UCV’s dramatic reduction of air contamination can minimise the incidence of infection in deep wound surgery, for example hip or knee replacement.
DESCRIPTION
The UCV is an Australian manufactured modular system that has been designed for easy installation in both new and existing operating theatres. Its attractively styled housing can be mounted almost flush with the theatre ceiling, concealing fans, pre-filters and the final HEPA or ULPA air filters with its purpose-built air diffuser in the ceiling void. Only the clear acrylic canopy extends into the theatre space, projecting to 2.0m above the theatre floor. Alternatively, it can be fitted directly to the ceiling, projecting only 750mm (plus canopy).
The configuration of filtration, diffuser and canopy removes contaminants from air drawn in by the fans and delivers a column of ultra-clean air down and over the operating theatre table and then radically outward. A unique silicone gel sealing system is used in place of traditional mechanical gaskets. This system effectively eliminates the chance of dirty air escaping between the air filters and their mounting frames. The UCV is fitted with perimeter lighting (optional colour-corrected lighting is available) and is supplied with a control panel for wall mounting.
