About the Ultrasuite® +Climate Demonstration Lab

The Ultrasuite® + Climate Demonstration Lab gives professionals who design, build, utilize, and oversee hospital operating rooms an opportunity to address the top concerns of their facilities through hands-on demonstration, with custom topics available by request.

  • Operating room plenums with/without LED lighting.
  • Laminar flow diffusers.
  • Welded ceilings with/without integrated structure.
  • Ceiling access panels with multiple ceiling designs.
  • Ceiling Lights (white or green)

  • Ultrasuite® + Climate operating room system with integrated lighting.
  • Venturi FX Air Valves and associated room pressure controls integrated into the operating room controls.
  • Complete operating control including pressure, temperature, humidity, lighting, filter loading available via a single BACnet user interface.

Demonstration Topics

Temperature Balance

A top request among surgical staff is for lower operating room temperatures to increase comfort and concentration.  Traditionally, satisfying staff requests has come at the expense of increased perioperative hypothermia and with it, adverse patient outcomes; this presents a significant challenge. We’ll demonstrate how a balance is possible.

Lighting

Shadowing, glare, and eye strain are top concerns expressed by surgical staff.  We’ll demonstrate how integrated lighting addresses these concerns, and how increased diffused lighting improves ocular comfort.

Ceiling Complexity

As complexity increases, so does the requirement for future proofing operating in anticipation of changes in equipment and technology.  Through integration of multiply scopes in the operating room ceiling, we will demonstrate how much space can be saved to help with space planning about the ceiling. 

Indoor Environmental Quality

We’ll illustrate the relationship between air changes and sterile field in addition to how the operating room HVAC system can be used to remove surgical smoke.

Energy Efficiency

We’ll outline the main drivers of energy consumption within operating rooms and show how a high performing operating room can significantly reduce HVAC energy costs.

First & Lifecycle Costs

We’ll compare first costs of operating room systems and discuss, through efficient integrated design, operating rooms can save first cost and life cycle costs when compared to standard systems.
