Halton Vita Space
Full-room ultraclean protection
Full-room HEPA-filtered airflow protects both patients and staff by maintaining stable and predictable operating room conditions. Rapid recovery time allows operating rooms to return quickly to safe conditions from stand by mode.
Energy efficiency -
optimised operation
Demand-based airflow control adjusts ventilation according to operating room activity, reducing unnecessary energy use when the room is not in active use. Combined with an optimised ventilation system and airflow pattern design, the solution helps hospitals significantly improve energy efficiency while maintaining strict hygiene standards.
In LCS simulations of different operating room ventilation systems in Europe in 2025, Halton’s Space system achieved up to 80% savings in total energy consumption, including heating, cooling, and auxiliary energy.
Flexible use of space
- Operational flexibility: move staff, equipment, instrument tables freely
- No restricted work areas or “air skirts”
- Downtime shortened with fast recovery airflows
- Optional People Counter for automatic airflow adjustment based on staff movement
- Operational efficiency: quick setup changes for procedures or personnel
