Definitions

  • a portable, modular room enclosure having an open end providing horizontal, contaminant-free tunnel type laminar flow for surgery or the like includes mobile means for generating an air flow demountably connected to said enclosure, air supply means in the unit in communication with the air flow generating means for receiving the air flow and converting it to a contaminant-free horizontal laminar flow within the enclosure toward the open end, first and second partitions forming side walls of the enclosure, wherein each partition is demountably connected at one end to said air supply means and at least one retractable side panel slidably mounted on a track connected to each partition wherein the track and panel are in parallel relation with the partition. By extending or retracting the side panels the length of each partition may be selectively changed to accommodate the needs of a surgery theater or the like.
  • the invention relates to a portable clean room and, in particular, to a surgery isolator as a movable, clean room enclosure providing a sterile, pathogen-free environment for surgical operations needing sepsis control.
  • Contemporary clean rooms are permanent structures generally entered through air lock or the like and, as such, are not compatible with hospital surgery problems.
  • Operating theaters and surgery rooms require special equipment, such as X-ray equipment, gas fixtures and special operating lights. Therefore, a permanent clean room enclosure is not feasible for a hospital as the requirements for a clean room will not be needed for every operation. Accordingly there has developed a need for a portable enclosure for use with existing ceilings and fixtures in an operating theater which will provide a clean room environment for operations.
  • clean room denotes a facility especially designed to create an atmosphere substantially free of particles. For this purpose a maximum particle concentration of 100 particles per cubic foot ).5 micrgnsand grea ter in sizejs required.
  • laminar flow clean room as employed in the application is directed to an enclosure or room formed by a bank of high efficiency particulate air filters on one entire wall wherein air is introduced to the enclosure through the filter at a rate of from about 70 to l feet per minute.
  • Conventional high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters have a minimum efficiency of 99.97 percent for particles as small as 0.3 microns in size.
  • a portable modular room enclosure having an open end providing horizontal, contaminant free, tunnel type laminar flow for surgery or the like which includes mobile means for generating an air flow demountably connected to the enclosure.
  • Air supply means in the unit is in communication with the air flow generator and receives the air flow and converts it to a contaminant-free horizontal laminar flow towardthe open end of the enclosure.
  • First and second partitions form side walls of the enclosure. Each partition is demountably connected at one end to the air supply mechanism.
  • At least one retractable side panel is provided which is slidably mounted on a track, wherein the track is connected to the partition. The track and panel are mounted in parallel relation to the partition for selectively extending the length of the position.
  • the modular enclosure includes a mounting base having adjustable leveling feet.
  • First and second air plenums, each plenum having a side opening and a front opening are adjacently seated on the mounting base.
  • First and second filter frame supports are bolted respectively to the first and second air plenums.
  • Each frame support carries a plurality of individual framed high efficiency particulate air filters in snap locking engagement with the filter frame support.
  • Each bank of I-IEPA filters is protected by a pair of punched screens latched onto the frame support.
  • An air tower is provided on each side of the air plenum.
  • Each air tower is equipped with a prefilter and blower for generating an air flow into the plenum.
  • the sides of the portable clean room are formed by a pair of enclosure panels attached to the side of a filter frame unit and singly anchored to the ceiling.
  • Each enclosure panel is provided with a pair of sliding glass door panels suspended from the floor. The glass door panels permit individual adjustment of the sides of the isolator module.
  • adjustable ceiling filler panels are provided on each side enclosure wall and the filter frame support unit to prevent contaminated air from entering the isolator immediately forward of the l-IEPA filter bank.
  • the isolator is readily set up in existing operating theaters making use of existing ceilings and permitting use of existing lighting facilities, X-ray facilities, outlets and fixtures. Ready access through the opened end of the isolator is available without disturbing the integrity of the clean room environment. All available space within the clean room enclosure is utilizable as the mechanical and electrical support equipment remains outside the enclosure. If a clean room is not needed the sliding glass sidewalls are retracted into the enclosure panel.
  • the adjustable ceiling filler panels permit the unit to be set up in rooms of varying heights within certain limits. Power cords, gas supply cords and monitoring circuit cords readily pass under the sliding doors.
  • the transparent side panels permit a large audience to view the operating theater within the room without the danger of cross-contamination.
  • FIG. I is a top plan view of the modular enclosure or isolator illustrating the laminar flow of air through the unit;
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of the unit from the open end of unit toward the filter bank
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the isolator with the corresponding air tower removed and diagrammatically illustrating the ceiling anchor for the side wall;
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary, perspective view of a comer of the isolator illustrating the adjustable filler panels
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view showing a ceiling hanger bracket
