Why Medical Practitioners Need a Cleanroom

Hospitals, surgeries and medical settings of all kinds require cleanrooms to ensure every precaution is taken to reduce the risk of infection to patients, or contamination of equipment. Cleanrooms do this by creating a controlled environment, in which ventilation systems and filters remove particulate matter such as dust and microorganisms from the air.

Hospital cleanrooms include surgical theatres, medical research laboratories and isolation spaces.

Medical Cleanroom Classification

The classification of cleanrooms determines the number of airborne particles permitted per cubic metre of space. There are three main classifications that we work with: ISO, GMP and FED.

All of these classify cleanrooms based on the maximum allowable concentrations (particles/cubic metre) for particles of certain sizes for each class.

ISO standards, derived from ISO 14644-1, are numbered 1 to 9, with 1 being the cleanest and 9 being similar to any other, non-ventilated room.

Medical cleanrooms are often built to meet the specifications of the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) grades and classifications. These are A, B, C and D, with A as the cleanest and D being the least clean.
Grade A and B cleanrooms are equivalent to at least an ISO 5 cleanroom when in use. Grade C is for less critical operations, requiring ISO 7 at rest and ISO 8 when in use.

The requirements of your specific cleanroom project will depend on the intended use and design. Our cleanrooms are validated by an independent inspector on completion, so you can be confident that the installation meets ISO requirements.

What are the requirements for a Medical Cleanroom?

The cleanroom standards for medical settings can vary depending on use. High-risk operations, such as surgery or handling of sterile compounds, require GMP Grade A, which is at least ISO 5. Grade B is ideal as a background area supporting the Grade A areas.

Medical cleanrooms may also require control of environmental factors such as air pressure, temperature and humidity, as well as lighting conditions, depending on the compounds and products in use.

The requirements of your specific cleanroom project will depend on the intended use and design.
