Unmatched air quality and safety for surgical spaces. Surgical zone isolation reduces the risk of hospital acquired infection System easily integrates with Price ceiling grids and ceiling level Unistrut. Heavy-gauge construction is a standard feature on Price HORD series diffusers Microbiological tested in accordance with American College of Surgeons procedures pricecriticalenvironments.com for additional product information, including, product videos and brochures.

2 Price O.R. Systems Air Curtain Systems Product Overview The Price O.R. Air Curtain System has been specifically designed to meet the stringent ventilation requirements of today s operating rooms. Through the use of controlled air movement, this system provides a work area around the operating table that is as sterile as possible. Not only does the Price Air Curtain System work, it does so with a high degree of comfort and economy. The Price Air Curtain System integrates three basic components to minimize mixing of room and supply air in the operating table area: 1. Air Curtain Diffusers 2. Laminar Flow Diffusers 3. Low-Level Exhaust Grilles Laminar Flow Diffusers (LFD series) Price LFD Series laminar flow diffusers have been engineered to provide a uniform, unidirectional, vertical projection of supply air at a controlled low velocity. The downward piston motion of supply air, combined with low-level exhaust or return air inlets located at the perimeter of the room, is ideal for operating room applications. The laminar flow diffuser utilizes an internal pressure equalization baffle, resulting in a dual chamber design which introduces clean supply air to the space with minimal entrainment of old room air due to a low and controlled discharge velocity. The LFD is available with a number of different features and options, including construction material, welding method and damper access. Units are available in steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or hybrid construction (i.e. steel plenum with aluminum face). Laminar Flow Diffusers w/integral HEPA Filters (LFDC series) The LFDC Series of laminar flow diffusers come with an integral, high efficiency filter. The filter has a gel seal to provide an airtight seal around the filter, ensuring all supply air passes through the filter and provides clean, unidirectional, laminar air flow from the diffuser. The diffuser face is easily removed using quarter-turn fasteners, which allows room-side removal and replacement of the filter without moving or disconnecting the diffuser from the ceiling system.

3 Price O.R. Systems Air Curtain Systems Component Features is factory sealed and tested to ensure any leaks are detected at the factory and corrected prior to shipment. Return Grilles The return grilles are located at a low level, preferably centered in each of the four walls. When it is not possible to have four returns, two low-level returns located on opposite sides of the room is the next best alternative. Since the grilles are located at a low level, stainless steel construction is preferred for its ruggedness and resistance to strong cleaning agents typically used in hospital operating rooms. Stainless Steel Return Grille w/ Removable Face (700H series) The Price 700H Series of grilles is available in two models: the 730H with ¾ blade spacing and the 735H with ½ blade spacing. The grilles are stainless steel in construction, giving excellent chemical resistance as well as strength to stand up to the day-to-day abuse in the operating rooms. Each grille is supplied with quarter-turn fasteners that allow for easy removal of the grille, and permit cleaning of the ductwork behind the grille as well as more thorough cleaning of the grille itself. Air Curtain Systems The HORD, in basic terms, is a 2 slot linear diffuser that is located at the perimeter of the operating table work area. The slot diffusers discharge a four-sided air curtain to enclose the work area. The higher velocity air pattern is projected approximately 15 from vertical away from the work area on all four sides. The two continuous slots create a thick, uniform curtain of air around the operating table work area. This air curtain does two things to aid the laminar flow diffusers in maintaining a clean work area: It presents a physical barrier in the form of a clean air curtain between the laminar flow diffusers (LFD) and the old air in the perimeter of the room at the ceiling level where the LFD is most likely to entrain room air. It entrains old room air and heavierthan-air gases to its outer boundary layer and carries them away from the operating table, toward the exhaust grilles, speeding dilution of contaminated room air. The Air Curtain System can be configured using a variety of Price manufactured components to suit individual engineering specifications or a specific application.

5 Price O.R. Systems Components Air Curtain Systems - Diffusers Modular Plenum System The modular HORD system is supplied as four separate modules. Each module includes a plenum, face assembly and at least one inlet. In order to ensure equal velocity distribution over the face of the HORD section, there should be at least one inlet per 8 ft of HORD section. HORD sections larger than 8 ft should have a minimum of two inlets. HORD plenums are supplied in maximum one-piece section lengths of up to 8 ft. HORD plenums larger than 8 ft are supplied in multiple sections with a flanged connection provided for field assembly. Modular System Factory Riveted to he Plenum Sections pply Sealant Round Connection Flanges (by others) Flat, Mechanically Fastened Formed, Continuously Welded Continuous Plenum System The requirement to have at least one inlet for every plenum may be a limitation for many operating room applications due to space constraints in the ceiling plenum. This may be particularly true for retrofit applications where an existing hospital area is being converted into an operating room. For these situations Price offers the continuous plenum option in lieu of four independent modular plenums. Four sections of plenum are provided with corner sections, creating a continuous supply plenum. Corner sections allow supply air to freely pass from one plenum section to another, creating a self-balancing plenum system. The continuous plenum systems require only two, compared with at least one inlet on each side of the modular system (minimum four total).

9 Price O.R. Systems Components Air Curtain Systems - Diffusers Selection Guidelines Exhaust An operating room should maintain a positive pressure differential with adjacent spaces at all times. For this reason, the operating room exhaust air volume should be less than the total supply air volume. The required air flow offset (between supply and exhaust) to achieve a desired differential pressure relative to adjacent spaces is dependent on how well the room envelope is sealed. As such, it is not possible to calculate the offset value in advance of room commissioning and system balancing. However, a typical OR would have approximately 20% more air supplied to the room than is exhausted. The exhaust grilles should be located symmetrically on the walls near the floor level. The recommended unit for this application is a grille with 45 deflection blades, either 0.50 in. (13) or 0.75 in. (19) on center, constructed of stainless steel for strength and ease of cleaning. The unit should have quick-release fasteners for easy removal and cleaning. See pages E80 - E83 for a complete description of Price stainless steel return grilles (Model 700H) and their performance data. Selection at a core velocity of approximately 500 fpm will result in reasonable sound level and pressure drop. Stainless steel construction is recommended for the low-level exhaust for durability and ease of cleaning (Model 700H/700FF).

11 Price O.R. Systems Components Air Curtain Systems - Diffusers Microbiological Testing In order to quantify the effectiveness of the Price Air Curtain System in delivering clean air to the operating room work site, we have conducted several field tests with actual installed systems. While test procedures exist for rating the cleanliness level of cleanrooms, they do not necessarily apply to operating rooms. The cleanroom test procedure measures the quantity of all particles of a specific size range. However, in an O.R. we are primarily concerned with colony forming units or bacterial counts due to the risk of post-operative infections, not simply particles. To address this issue, the American College of Surgeons Committee on Operating Room Environment published a definition of Surgical Microbiological Clean Air, which defined three classes of air cleanliness as follows: Class I Containing a maximum of one bacterial particle per cubic foot of air. Class V Containing a maximum of five bacterial particles per cubic foot of air. Class XX Containing a maximum of 20 bacterial particles per cubic foot of air. Price has had multiple Air Curtain System installations tested for microbiological air cleanliness per the College of Surgeons methodology. All tests were performed by independent agencies and in each case results confirmed that the Price systems provided an area around the operating table which met the American College of Surgeons requirement for a Class I environment. Test reports can be provided by contacting your local Price representative. Copyright Price Industries Limited All Metric dimensions ( ) are soft conversion. E-71

12 Price OR System Components LFD Series Product Overview Price LFD Series Laminar Flow Diffusers have been engineered to provide a uniform vertical projection of supply air at controlled low velocity. The downward projection or piston motion of supply air, combined with low-level exhaust or return air inlets is ideal for cleanroom or operating room applications. The laminar flow diffuser introduces clean supply air to the space with minimal entrainment of room air due to its low initial face velocity. Application Laminar flow diffusers located in the ceiling immediately above the work area can provide a controlled flow of conditioned supply air with minimal entrainment of residual room air. Coupled with low-level exhaust inlets, a controlled, low velocity mass movement of air can be maintained. The boundary layer of the air mass is the only place where any appreciable entrainment of residual room air may occur. With the boundary layer remote from the work area, the low velocity controlled air mass effectively isolates the work area from any effects or contaminants of the residual room air. Features and Options Price offers a variety of features and options to satisfy different application and construction requirements. All units utilize a dual chamber design to ensure equalized air flow and consistent face velocity. Full steel, aluminum, stainless steel or hybrid (i.e. SS face, AL plenum) construction available. Continuously welded corners on SS or AL units. Easy access to internal plenum surfaces for cleaning. Full-flow, butterfly style dampers. Face-operable dampers (removable plug in the diffuser face). Spring-loaded, quick-release fasteners for easy removal of face. Safety cables. Structural hanger tabs. Universal mounting frame to allow for a surface mount or T-bar installation.
