Indications for Use
Operio is a portable device for use in a surgical operating environment that produces a directed, non-turbulent flow of air to the surgical site during ophthalmic, orthopedic and neuro surgery and to the sterile instruments used during surgery. The air flow from the device is HEPA-filtered to reduce the presence of particulate matter to reduce the microorganisms to a level of < 5 CFU per m3 at the surgical site and instruments. The air flow is intended to be directed parallel to the surgical site and/or instruments within: 20" (50 cm) in width, 47" (120 cm) in length and 15" (40 cm) in height. Device effectiveness may not be reliably detectable at a distance of 47 inches (120 cm) from the air flow outlet, and effectiveness depreciates beyond this specified area.
Device Story
Mobile air-handling unit; recirculates ambient OR air; HEPA filtration; produces directed, non-turbulent airflow; reduces airborne particulates/microorganisms at surgical site/instruments. Used in OR; operated by surgical staff. Device positioned near OR table; uses sterile shield barrier. Provides localized clean air zone (20"x47"x15"); reduces CFU levels to < 5 CFU/m3. Benefits patient by reducing risk of surgical site contamination.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical testing included 302 CFU measurements from 82 patients in Swedish hospitals. Results demonstrated mean CFU levels of 0.4 CFU/m3 (ophthalmic), 0.52 CFU/m3 (orthopedic), and 2 CFU/m3 (neurosurgery). All results remained below the < 5 CFU/m3 threshold, demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate.
Indicated for use in surgical operating environments during ophthalmic, orthopedic, and neurosurgery to provide directed, non-turbulent, HEPA-filtered air to the surgical site and sterile instruments to reduce airborne particulate and microorganisms to < 5 CFU/m3.
Regulatory Classification

Dear Tomas Hansson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

## Device description
The air zone unit Operio is used in a surgical operating room for cleaning the air in a given area by re-circulating the ambient air and cleaning it from airborne particles. The air is filtered through a HEPA filter and the air is generated over the areas where the demands of clean air are especially high. The air zone unit Operio is equipped with a control panel for adjustments and for positioning of the unit.
The air zone unit Operio is a mobile unit that with the help of castors easily can be moved around the patient to an optimal position or, when needed, transported inside the hospital between wards. It is also equipped with an optional instrument tray.
By using a unique sterile shield as a protective barrier the air zone unit can be placed close to the OR table and deliver HEPA filtered air to the surgical site and instruments to reduce the presence of airborne particulate and microorganisms.
#### Indications for use
Operio is a portable device for use in a surgical operating environment that produces a directed, non-turbulent flow of air to the surgical site during ophthalmic, orthopedic and neuro surgery and to the sterile instruments used during surgery. The air flow from the device is HEPA-filtered to reduce the presence of particulate matter to reduce the microorganisms to a level of < 5 CFU per m3 at the surgical site and instruments.
The air flow is intended to be directed parallel to the surgical site and/or instruments within: 20" (50 cm) in width, 47" (120 cm) in length and 15" (40 cm) in height. Device effectiveness may not be reliably detectable at a distance of 47 inches (120 cm) from the air flow outlet, and effectiveness depreciates beyond this specified area.
### Summary of technological characteristics compared to predicate devices
The difference for the subject device compared to the predicate device is additional and extended claims in the indications. to include neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery. The subject device and predicate device is the same model and identical in technology and characteristics. The use with additional claims do not introduce any new hazards and test results can confirm that the subject device is safe and effective for use.

## Summary of testing
The performance characteristics of the air zone unit Operio have been obtained through both a series of tests, clinical and non-clinical, and performance specifications. Particulate test and CFU test results clearly meet the criteria for achieving reduction of airborne contamination at the intended surgical site and over instruments. The efficiency of HEPA filtration has been tested and is found to have an efficiency > 99.995% efficiency against 0.3 um particles.
In testing, the subject device has demonstrated a level of particulates by 1.1 particles of 0.5 um/f³.
The following non-clinical tests has been conducted: Simulated use test. Particulate counting test, Colony Forming Units counting test, Air velocity test, Air leakage test, Smoke test and Turbulence tests to demonstrate air flow patterns.
The following standards have been used for performance testing:
- IEC/EN 60601-1:2006 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements ● for basic safety and essential performance
- . IEC/EN 60601-1-2:2007 Medical electrical equipment - Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests
- . IEC 61010-1:2010 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 1: General requirements
### Summary of clinical testing
Clinical tests have been carried out for surgical procedures such as ophthalmology, orthopedics and neurosurgery. Measurements where made near the surgical site and over the instruments where the results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CFU levels.

The clinical tests include 302 CFU measurements from 82 patients in Swedish Hospitals. For the predicate device Operio for ophthalmic surgery the mean CFU value is 0.4 CFU/m² and the subject device Operio with additional claims show for orthopaedic surgery a mean CFU value of 0.52 CFU/m3 and for neurosurgery a mean CFU value of 2 CFU/m².
Since CFU level doesn't exceed the predicate device of < 5 CFU it is concluded that substantial equivalence is achieved as clinical validation.
## Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed device (K153498).
