HOSPITAL CLEANROOM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Hospital cleanrooms are installed to ensure a sterile environment for surgical procedures, medical instrument sterilization areas, and post-operative recovery rooms. Hospital cleanrooms are typically installed in the following areas: operating rooms, minor surgery rooms, surgical corridors, sterilization areas, recovery rooms, ICU, and CCU.
What makes hospital cleanrooms different?
Hospital cleanrooms are spaces where microbial particles are controlled at specific airborne concentration levels and minimized as much as possible. In addition, temperature, humidity, and pressure must be precisely regulated to suit medical usage purposes. Beyond investing in air purification systems, hospitals also pay close attention to cleanroom doors and medical instruments to ensure the highest level of sterility.
Under current healthcare conditions, most hospitals are facing overcrowding. Meanwhile, cross-infection among patients can easily occur if surgical, post-operative, or medical instrument sterilization areas do not meet sterility requirements. If surgical conditions are not well controlled, hospitals not only have to treat new patients but also extend treatment durations for existing ones. This directly contributes to the persistent overcrowding problem in hospitals.
Inadequate surgical and treatment conditions also negatively affect patient health. Issues such as prolonged recovery time and post-operative infections can result in long-term consequences in terms of both health and financial burden for patients and their families. Therefore, hospital cleanrooms are mandatory facilities and must always operate under optimal sterile conditions.
Standards for hospital cleanroom design
Depending on usage purposes, hospital cleanrooms are designed according to specific criteria. Hospital cleanrooms must strictly comply with international medical regulations such as GMP, WHO-GMP, and EU-GMP. Specifically, hospital cleanroom areas must be supplied with clean, sterile air at optimal temperature and humidity levels.
In addition, hospital cleanroom design in Vietnam must comply with the following standards:
- TCVN 4088 - 1985: Climatic data for construction design
- TCVN 5687 - 1992: Ventilation, air conditioning, and heating - Design standards
- TCVN 2622 - 1995: Fire prevention and fire protection for buildings and structures - Design standards
Key parameters in hospital cleanroom design
Hospital cleanroom construction process
Step 1: Receive requirements from the hospital and conduct an on-site survey of the cleanroom installation area. VietPanel experts directly measure parameters and assess environmental conditions within the hospital to provide optimal consultation.
Step 2: Structural layout, area size, airflow rate, pressure levels, and other factors are evaluated to develop a complete cleanroom design. The design proposal is discussed and approved by hospital representatives before installation begins.
Step 3: Proceed with cleanroom construction using specialized equipment and materials, strictly adhering to construction requirements to ensure airtightness, pressure control, and compliance with airborne particle standards.
Step 4: Conduct inspection and acceptance testing before the hospital cleanroom is officially put into operation.
Step 5: Provide warranty services for the cleanroom project. After a period of use, certain criteria may no longer be fully met however, with proper warranty and maintenance, the cleanroom can continue operating under optimal sterile conditions.
