Air Pressure Stabilisers in Operating Theatres are a critical defence against airborne contamination. Operating Theatre rooms emply positive pressure ventilation lobbies when designed in accordance with HTM 03-01 that work in tandem with Air Pressure Stabilisers. This accurately controls and maintains differential pressures between adjoining rooms. Cascade ventilation ensures the flow of air moves one way only, cascading from the cleanest (most sterile) area within a suite, down into the various rooms, and finally out to the assigned dirty area. When the doors between adjoining rooms are closed, Apreco’s VARI-centric Air Pressure Stabiliser opens to allow the air to cascade through to the next area. operating room positive pressure
When the door is open, Apreco’s VARI-centric Air Pressure Stabiliser closes, pushing the air through the open door. This creates an invisible barrier of air through the doorway; stopping unwanted particles from passing through into the next room. As the airflow is constantly maintained, any unwanted particles (if present) will move down the system making their way safely away from the patients and staff.
