Sterility by Design

A new standard of cleanliness means that traditional “mop and bucket” maintenance of operating rooms will be rendered obsolete. A fourfold strategy for establishing sterility is employed in the Optimus ISE™:

Ozone The ISE™ employs the first fully contained ozone generation / deactivation system for use in hospital settings. Once a week, complete room sterilization of all surfaces is achieved, creating the first functionally sterile operating room.

Solid Surfaces/Titanium Dioxide/UV light Non-porous materials replace standard plasterboard/paint surfaces and flooring material. Proprietary incorporation of TiO2 into the material allows for continuous sterilization of the walls, ceilings and floor surfaces in the presence of low-level ultraviolet light.

UV Sink Traps The Optimus “UV2 Max” is a replacement for the standard sink trap. It is thought that hospital sink traps are a primary source for harboring hospital-based resistant germs. The UV sink trap system eliminates this problem by allowing continuous sterilization of retained fluids in sink traps 24/7.

“Floor Genie” Robotic floor cleaner, with disposable cartridges for complete isolation of contaminated materials, is deployed after an operation has been completed, while the nursing staff is preparing the room for the next procedure.
