Precision Air

What Precision Air does

Precision Air Products Co. is a privately held Bloomington, Minnesota-based medical equipment company founded in 1974 that designs, manufactures, and installs customized zero-particle airflow systems for hospital operating rooms. The company serves hospitals, surgical centers, architects, and construction contractors exclusively in the OR airflow category, and reports over 10,000 cumulative installations since founding. Its product portfolio is unified under the SurgicAir brand and consists of four core systems — SurgicAir Zero (flagship zero-particle system with patent-pending technology), SurgicAir Flex (modular integrated ceiling system), SurgicAir Plenum (above-ceiling supply plenum), and SurgicAir Track (system for ORs with ceiling-mounted imaging) — supplemented by a line of Lami-Vent and HEPA-Vent diffusers and HEPA/ULPA filters for adjacent cleanroom and pharmacy applications.

Precision Air's underlying technology combines localized high-efficiency point-of-delivery filtration, large-area controlled airflow, and independent room temperature management to deliver an 'impenetrable' particle-free zone around both the patient and surgical staff — positioned as an improvement over 30+ year old conventional laminar airflow systems used in most U.S. ORs. The company sells on a quote-based, project-specific model with multi-year contract cadences, and supports its pricing with an interactive ROI calculator citing SSI cost economics (e.g., $502,000 annual savings and ~6-month payback per OR based on $50,200 average SSI case cost). All sales flow through a network of 40+ authorized manufacturer representatives covering all 50 U.S. states, with consultative on-site particle count assessments, demonstration lab tours, and whitepaper/case-study-driven demand generation.

The company's go-to-market targets owners/executives, medical/infection control teams, engineering/design firms (including a 20-year relationship with HDR Chicago), and construction contractors — explicitly positioning against generalist HVAC providers. Disclosed reference customers include TRIA Orthopedics (fourth SurgicAir Zero install in March 2022) and Presbyterian Hospital in New Mexico. The company is led by President Derek Weinschenk and shows no evidence of outside institutional investment, M&A activity, or AI/ML technology integration in the input data.

Core offering

Precision Air manufactures customized zero-particle operating room (O.R.) airflow solutions for the healthcare industry, including the SurgicAir product family. The company engineers, designs, and oversees installation of integrated ceiling airflow systems — flagship SurgicAir Zero, modular SurgicAir Flex, SurgicAir Plenum, and SurgicAir Track — supported by laminar diffusers and HEPA/ULPA filtration components. The offering targets reduction of surgical site infections (SSIs) through localized high-efficiency filtration and patent-pending zero-particle airflow technology.

Product overview

Precision Air offers a modular product family under the SurgicAir® brand for OR (operating room) airflow solutions. The core portfolio consists of SurgicAir® Zero (the flagship zero-particle system), SurgicAir® Flex (the flexible modular base system), SurgicAir® Plenum (above-ceiling air distribution), and SurgicAir® Track (for rooms with ceiling-mounted imaging equipment). Supporting the main systems are add-on components including Lami-Vent Diffusers, HEPA-Vent Diffusers, Low Profile HEPA-Vent Diffusers, and HEPA/ULPA Filters for cleanroom and pharmacy applications. All products are designed exclusively for operating room environments to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) through advanced airflow technology.

Products and services

• SurgicAir Zero The first and only zero-particle O.R. airflow system. Uses patent-pending technology to deliver an impenetrable wall of ultra-clean, particle-free air encompassing both the patient and surgical staff. Designed for hospitals, surgical centers, and healthcare facilities seeking to eliminate airborne pathogens at the surgical table.
• SurgicAir Flex An integrated ceiling airflow system with modular structure offering flexibility in OR array design. Combines laminar diffusers (with or without HEPA filters) with a gasketed framing system that forms a single-assembly ceiling system. Aimed at hospitals and OR construction projects.
• SurgicAir Plenum An above-ceiling supply air plenum that handles final distribution to the entire airflow system while freeing up valuable space and design time. Delivers laminar flow with or without HEPA filters in as little as 12 inches of height, for healthcare facility construction and renovation projects.
• SurgicAir Track An integrated ceiling airflow system for ORs with imaging equipment suspended from ceiling mounted rails. Features self-leveling design ensuring perfect alignment and includes custom pre-welded single-assembly framing sections with standard or HEPA filtered laminar flow diffusers. For hospitals with ceiling-mounted imaging equipment.
• SurgicAir Diffusers and Filters Individual laminar airflow components including Lami-Vent Diffusers (true dual-chamber design), HEPA-Vent Diffusers, Low Profile HEPA-Vent Diffusers, HEPA Filters, and ULPA Filters. For critical environment applications such as hospital pharmacies and cleanrooms requiring high-quality laminar airflow.
