FAQ

Is Zener suitable for operating rooms with laminar flow or turbulent flow?

For either. Zener can be installed in operating rooms with either laminar flow or turbulent flow.

It’s known that staff activity, surgical lights, booms, and other equipment in the OR disrupt laminar flow over the operative field. Meanwhile, Zener’s light can still reach the operative field to provide inactivation of bacteria that are not being removed due to disruptions in laminar flow.

Moreover, contamination can be present outside the laminar flow “clean ring” that surrounds the operating table. This contamination can be brought into the operative field through staff moving in and out of the laminar flow “clean ring”, and through instrumentation and implants prepared on the back table.

Zener disinfects both inside and outside the laminar flow “clean ring”.

What is the cost of Zener in an operating room?

$10,000 to $15,000 to completely cover an entire operating room with multiple devices.

For less than the cost of one complex primary total joint or revision case, or the $116,383 mean cost (range: $44,416 to $269,914)¹⁵ of a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), you can protect all of the patients in your operating room.

What does installation look like?

For installations in either existing operating rooms (retrofits) or new-builds, installing Zener is as simple as installing a light fixture.

For retrofits, installation can be completed in less than a day. Ideally installation is done on the weekend, but can be done overnight too.

How do you compensate for shadowing?

By installing multiple devices in the ceilings.

Unlike UV robots that need staff to move them to the robot to the opposite side of the OR to compensate for shadowing, multiple Zeners in the ceiling compensate for shadowing effects of one another. Besides, the air is constantly moving, so shadowing is less of a consideration for air disinfection and more of a consideration for surface disinfection.
