FYI: The OR package consists of multiple ultraviolet fixtures that are
mounted to ceilings and walls and above the doors of the OR, with
the goals being to eliminate shadowed areas and to treat air, as well
as surfaces. The system can be used during orthopedic procedures
— including total joints — and before or after any other procedure. A
touch-screen interface allows operators to monitor lamp intensity
and fixture functionality. It also provides data logging. The mounting
system eliminates the need for multiple positions, is always avail-
able, and requires no extra staff to operate, says the company. When
used as part of a terminal-cleaning protocol, its typical disinfection
cycle takes 5 to 10 minutes.
