Active Removal With Real-Time Verification

Illuvia Sense is a surgical air purification device with environmental sensing and reporting technologies, labeled for reducing risk of infection and improving environmental safety in operating rooms.

  • Demonstrated reduction in SSI risk across multiple clinical studies
  • Real-time sensor data for surveillance and team compliance
  • Removal of infectious bioaerosols, VOCs, and surgical smoke
  • Autonomous operation using internal ultraviolet germicidal light and HEPA filtration to supplement room ventilation
  • Non-turbulent ultraclean airflow designed for the OR

How Illuvia Sense Supports Cleaner Air in the OR

Air Decontamination Published studies have shown that Illuvia:Inactivates 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and spores in the air.

Air Quality You Can Verify

The Illuvia Sense reporting app surfaces environmental and operational indicators that fit into a bundled prevention approach.

  • Trends in particle counts and air quality performance
  • Room activity indicators such as door openings and traffic patterns
  • Compliance prompts and documentation support
  • Inputs for behavioral and process improvement

“The ILLUVIA has decreased our infection rate and has allowed our patients and team to benefit from a cleaner work environment.”

Tariq Hakky, MD, Board Certified Urological Surgeon, Atlanta Cosmetic Urology, Atlanta, Georgia

“We really think that this is one of the adjunct materials that every hospital should have. I really would recommend the use of the ILLUVIA.”

Anita Mullen, RN, Infection Preventionist, Baylor Scott and White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital, Arlington, Texas

“Our OR staff really stand behind the usage of Illuvia/Aerobiotix in our surgical suite. We have seen a reduction in SSIs since using the system.”

Holly Schafer, OR Manager, UCI Health – Placenta Linda Hospital, Placentia, California
