A hardwall cleanroom for medical device manufacturing requires precision at every intersection, seam, and gap. Erecting the wall system is relatively simple for those inclined, however, the integration of HVAC, electrical, plumbing, flooring, and entry/exit concepts require thoughtful consideration.
In medical device cleanrooms, a common configuration is an ISO 8 gowning room and ISO 7 primary production area. A cascading air flow design and positive pressure HVAC calibration move the cleanest air at the highest pressure (ISO 7). High pressure air in clean areas prevents dirty air from “leaking” into the cleanroom from adjacent areas. This principle also curbs induction of non-controlled air during entry and exit.
