OPERATING ROOM
mixes best suited to particular functions. Our methodical approach starts with stake- holder analysis and usage case development, followed by imaging partner consultation and schematic design, then detailed CAD and virtual 3D room models are developed, and a consultative review is conducted. This approach helps to ensure that our clinical partner’s needs are met and that the room will be a joy to use, even during the most demanding surgeries.
The Systems Planning Department also coordinates the many details associated with submittal approval, site inspection, progress reports, manufacturing cycles, and delivery schedules. Depending on the project, we may be responsible for anything from truck tail- gate delivery through complete installation. No matter what the circumstances, STERIS is there supporting the requirement. Maher: Skytron’s approach to any complex project is the com- mitment and understanding of the process. It starts with the discovery phase, determining the objectives and vision of the stakeholders. Skytron’s brand promise…Reliability, versatil- ity and low cost, provides the product mix to meet the end users needs. The depth and breadth of product offering allows us to pro- vide a custom design room that achieves the objectives of the hospital. Each product offer- ing of Skytron is extensive which eliminates the one size fits all needs approach. Ceci: Stryker has an entire division focused on operating room Integration and design. Unique to the industry Stryker can provide each and every component in the integrated video chain, from the rigid endoscope placed in the patient to the high definition surgical display on which the surgeon views the image. This allows complete and total ac- countability for the user’s experience, while maintaining open architecture to work with all equipment vendors in the space. Stryker also offers device control of the products commonly used in these surgical suites. This allows the nurse to control de- vices from one common user interface away from the sterile field.

Stryker’s products are unique and highly upgradable for future demands in the surgi- cal environment. Our custom designed plat- forms are tailored to be the right size on day one and allow for the customer to upgrade the system over time. This is in contrast from using off the shelf components designed for other industries which have predetermined inputs and outputs and sound upgradable but often times are very expensive or unsup- ported. Requirements for medical device manufacturing are extremely stringent and require traceability and quality processes not
seen in other industries using commercially available equipment. Care must be taken when partnering with an equipment vendor as these systems will be expected to last for a number of years. Changes occur so rapidly in the consumer space, use of off the shelf components may leave the hospital with unsupported equipment or multiple versions which are difficult to maintenance. Stryker’s approach to surgical suite de-
sign is based on years of experience and thousands of successfully integrated suites. The Stryker iSuite offers a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of modern operating rooms. Created with the OR staff in mind, the iSuite provides surgical teams with efficiencies that allow them to focus on patient care. Stryker has integrated over 7,000 OR’s since creating the first Stryker En- dosuite in 1992. Stryker offers platforms for Booms & Lights, Integration, Video, Media Server, and IP Video. Through experience, compatibility, vision and leadership, Stryker mitigates risk in the OR by continuously linking those platforms together.
How can your company help facilities to maximize investment in and ensure future viability of hybrid OR suites? An advanced hybrid OR suite can help to re- cruit top-notch surgeons and help to market the hospital to potential patients, so success- ful implementation is imperative. Hospitals will obviously need to identify an imaging system, boom and lighting solutions that work with, and around, the imaging system and integration equipment that is robust enough to grow with the needs of the OR. Hospitals should also keep in mind that it is not only the equipment that ensures success of the project, experience in room design and implementation of other advanced surgical suites is also a benefit to this process. Ven- dors that have this experience are more able to mitigate the risk of potential issues and help ensure the successful completion of a hybrid OR design project. David Church, Marketing Product Manager, Booms and Lights, Stryker Communications MAQUET:When investing in a Hybrid OR, hospital decision-makers are challenged with determining which equipment will maximize their return on investment in the long term—which is why it is important to partner with a single-source provider that offers multidisciplinary OR infrastructure solutions and a large product portfolio to streamline the process and thereby increase cost efficiencies across the hospital. As a global leader in medical systems and supplier of hospital equipment, MAQUET Medical Systems USA offers comprehensive solutions for the Hybrid OR, including surgi- cal tables, anesthesia systems, ceiling pen-
dants, surgical lights, heart-lung machines, balloon pumps, pre-fabricated modular OR walls and OR integration systems. Further- more, MAQUET offers full support for the hospital from start to finish, from planning and installation to training and customer ser- vice. This one-stop-shop approach reduces the margin for error and ensures that the hospital’s investment—from planning and execution to maintenance—is streamlined. From choosing suitable capital equipment,
to assessing workflow requirements, to plan- ning a room layout, hospitals can rely on an industry leader such as MAQUET to provide comprehensive, cost-effective, leading-edge Hybrid OR solutions that will maximize investment value for hospitals. Visit www.

Integration systems are fiber-based and include universal ports, to ensure that any signal in use today (or likely to be used tomorrow) can be accom- modated without costly rework or forklift. LED lighting technology with helix coils is designed to deliver consistent high quality light output for more than a decade. Scalable mounting solutions capable of hosting lights, monitors, anesthesia and perfusion supply, radiation shields, high definition cameras, and navigation systems can be configured to reduce the total number of mounts needed and thereby reduce the cost of build-out. Maher: The discovery process is how this can be achieved. By committing to under- standing the objectives and the ability to make the proper recommendations (depth and breadth of products) we are able to as- sure that this investment does achieve the users goals. This has been validated when we conducted follow up surveys with our clients and asked…”what would you do differently” the answer was not a change of design, product or companies rather… ”build two”. Jacques: The hardest part of these projects is that many facilities don’t have alignment between all the clinical departments that might use the new room. BERCHTOLD Design Consultants lead these stakeholders through a process that gets everyone on the same page. Our proprietary software allows all stakeholders to iterate through many design choices in 3D. This greatly eases the visualization challenges of reviewing archi- tect drawings too early in the process. Our goal of no surprises and satisfied clinicians is always the primary point of focus across the BERCHTOLD team. HPN
