New Recognition for TcAF: Published in the ASHRAE Journal
At Avidicare, we are dedicated to advancing safer, more efficient, and more comfortable environments for surgical teams and patients alike. We are therefore proud to share that a peer-reviewed study on the performance of our Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) system in operating rooms has been published in the June 2025 issue of the ASHRAE Journal.
This recognition from one of the most respected authorities in building and environmental systems is a significant milestone. It highlights the important role Opragon (TcAF) plays in addressing two of healthcare’s most critical challenges: infection control and thermal comfort.
Why this matters
Airflow management in operating rooms is a complex balance. Traditional systems often force healthcare professionals to choose between infection prevention and staff comfort. Opragon (TcAF) provides a solution by creating a gravity-driven ultraclean airflow in the the whole operating room while allowing for a more comfortable room climate for the surgical team.
The validation of TcAF in the ASHRAE Journal confirms what our partners in healthcare already know: advanced ventilation systems can and should support both infection prevention and comfortable working environment.
A step forward for healthcare engineering
Being included in ASHRAE’s peer-reviewed publication is not only a recognition of TcAF’s proven performance, it is also an encouragement for continued innovation. Every surgical team deserves an environment where they can perform at their best without compromise, and every patient deserves the highest possible standard of care.
