Better Air for Healthcare.
Illuvia® Sense is a surgical air disinfection system with sensing and reporting technologies, labeled for reducing risk of infection, and improving overall environmental safety in operating room environments. The Sense runs continuously, even in occupied rooms and does not interrupt existing workflows. Medical personnel can work in confidence knowing Sense is there, quietly working in the background, for the well-being of the patient and your personnel.
With 
technology.
The Illuvia Sense is ideally suited for procedures where risk of infection is highest – such as orthopedic joint replacement, Spinal surgery, Implant and reconstructive procedures, Long duration procedures (>2 hours), procedures on immunocompromised patients, and patients with significant comorbidities.

THE IMPACT OF POOR OR AIR QUALITY
Studies have shown that even with strict hygiene and quality standards in place OR air can be filled with significant levels bacteria, spores, and viruses which can be transferred from the environment to the surgical site putting patients and hospital staff at risk.

“The Illuvia machine is part of our infection control protocol. We’ve been very happy with the machine and we’ve been really happy with the results for our team.”

SOMETIMES WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE, POSES THE GREATEST RISKS.
The people in the OR are the dirtiest aspect of the room and are the main sources of contamination. Dangerous bacteria are riding on clothing, floating hair particles, and human skin squames (the average human shed 10 million squames each day). These bacteria and particles land on surfaces, instruments and in incisions.
Illuvia Sense has been shown to reduce airborne contamination during surgery by 50-70% in peer reviewed, published and independent studies.

THE POWER TO ELIMINATE, NOT JUST COLLECT.
Illuvia Sense inactivates 100% viruses, 99.97% bacteria and 99.91% spores.³ With clean air confidence you can take back control of the OR space.
Prefiltration: The disposable copper and carbon cartridge captures larger particles ensuring optimum efficiency of the system.
Ultraviolet (UV) Technology: Illuvia Sense utilizes a unique patented UV reaction photolytic chamber we call INTRAVIOLET™ to slow and trap pathogens. This results in improved pathogen reduction in the Operating Room.
HEPA Filtration: The remaining inactive particles are caught in a medical grade HEPA filter, preventing them from returning to the air.

MAXIMUM DOSE
Aerobiotix’s lntraViolet™ Core delivers an optimal UV dose that provides the highest level of pathogen inactivation.
Germicidal Lamps
High output UV-C provides a 254 nm wavelength that inactivates pathogen DNA making it nonviable.
UNIQUE Quartz Cylinders
Thousands of cylinders slow and suspend contaminants which increases dwell time and exposure to UV.
UV CHAMBER
UV is constrained within the unit, protecting staff and patients from exposure.

Reduce the contaminants, reduce the risk.
The Illuvia Sense technology is designed to increase airflow and decontaminate in this zone. The unit outflow is directional flow, running outside of the central zone in a directed manner.
