Definition, Importance & Key Standards

A hospital cleanroom is a controlled environment designed to regulate air pressure, temperature, humidity, dust particles, and airborne microorganisms. The goal is to ensure a sterile, safe space for patient treatment, surgery, and recovery.

Why are hospital cleanrooms important?

• Prevent cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).

• Provide sterile conditions for surgeries and intensive care.

• Protect the hospital environment from the spread of pathogens.

Pressure-controlled cleanroom types:

• Positive pressure rooms: Used in operating theaters, sterile storage, and medication distribution areas.

• Negative pressure rooms: Applied in isolation wards, microbiology labs, and hazardous waste handling rooms.

Common cleanroom standards in hospitals:

• Comply with ISO 14644, GMP, WHO-GMP, and EU-GMP.

• Temperature maintained around 23°C, humidity between 40–60%.

• Cleanroom classifications range from ISO 5 to ISO 8 (Class 10 to Class 100,000).

Essential equipment:

• HEPA filters, AHU, FFU for air filtration.

• Pass boxes, air showers, pressure gauges.

• UV disinfection systems, biosafety cabinets.

Designing and building a cleanroom that meets international standards improves patient safety, enhances treatment outcomes, and increases the hospital’s operational credibility.
