THE NEST
The most complex and time consuming part of any Operating Room is the center part of the room. The center of the CLEAN CUBE is called “The Nest”. The Nest is comprised of all structural, all mechanical, electrical and low voltage/integration conduits, media distribution and components, and medical gas piping.
STRUCTURAL
The structural grid is integral to the nest system. The systems vertical and or horizontal attachments to the base building are site adapt engineered and coordinated with the engineer of record. System is designed to be clinically vendor neutral and accommodate any and all mounting, plumbing, electrical, integration and other rough in specifications. Last minute modifications to equipment vendor make and model and even vendor change are seamless and easily modified. Site adaptable, dynamic and future proofed mounting structural system allows for adding and/or relocating ceiling mounted equipment easily versus a static structural plenum system.
MEP
The nest also includes all mechanical ducting and components such as VAV, reheat coils, dampers and other mechanical related devises, electrical and low-voltage conduit, med-gas plumbing. The nest is flanked by integrated multi-trade racks that deliver all MEP to precoordinated hand-off point to base-building teams outside of the CLEAN CUBE. All mechanical is manufactured transported and delivered using clean duct protocol.
CEILING SURROUND
The ceiling surround is panelized, with coordinated pathways for fire suppression, A/V integration, and lighting. Surround finishes include PVCU, Aclyloyl Engineered Polymer, and Paperless drywall.
FLEXIBLE MODULAR PLENUM
CLEAN CUBE’S proprietary plenum delivers optimal air distribution over the sterile field with terminal HEPA filtration and up to 35 ACH. Our optional Air Curtain, protects the laminar flow from collapse, a condition demonstrated in all laminar only air systems. The “room within a room”, achieved with a slight delta in temperature and air velocity from the curtain, prevents dirty air from mixing in over the surgical field. And with a greater area of the room treated, spaces outside the surgical field, which may have sterile instruments or equipment used intra-operatively, are kept cleaner.
