Cleanroom Contamination Control
When it comes to sensitive environments like cleanrooms, the battle against contamination is ongoing.
The Clean Facility System Approach for Contamination Control
In a cleanroom environment, any compromise in cleanliness can have severe consequences. Product quality, research integrity and even human contamination. Effective cleanroom contamination control within these areas is critical.
Maintaining the required levels of cleanliness within a cleanroom is a complex task. Vestis recognizes this challenge and offers comprehensive cleanroom contamination solutions through its Clean Facility System — a meticulous approach that orchestrates a 360-degree defense against contamination.
360 Degrees of Cleanliness
The Vestis Clean Facility System operates on a zoned approach, segmenting the workspace into specific areas and deploying tailored strategies to uphold clean conditions. By delineating zones and outfitting each with appropriate cleanroom gowning and specialized cleanroom cleaning products, the system provides a targeted defense mechanism against potential contaminants.
Zone Breakdown: Layers of Contamination Prevention
Zone 5: Base Building — Offices, Lunchrooms, Locker Rooms
The journey toward contamination control begins right at the facility’s entrance. Zone 5 emphasizes the importance of mitigating contamination risks from the moment employees walk through the door.
Items here can include a Vestis scrubBank™ scrub dispenser, face mask and microfiber mop.
Zone 4: Controlled Environments — Hallways, Labs, Packaging
Contamination needs to be stopped in its tracks. Transition spaces between different work areas are critical zones for contamination prevention. This zone needs to be equipped with highly advanced scrubs and mops, along with all the other proper reinforcements designed to minimize particulation and prevent cross-contamination.
Items here can include cleanroom string mops, tacky mats and hand sanitizer dispensers.
Zone 3: Gown Rooms and Cleanroom Entrances
At the threshold of cleanrooms, Zone 3 fortifies the defenses against contaminants attempting to infiltrate controlled environments. It’s essential that entrances to cleanrooms are stocked with high-quality scrubs along with garment storage racks.
Other items in this zone can include bouffant caps, shoe covers, gloves and advanced mopping systems.
Zone 2: Bulk Manufacturing and Prep
Within areas dedicated to bulk manufacturing and preparation, contamination prevention assumes vital importance. For this zone, Vestis offers high-quality garments designed with the operator in mind to help prevent contamination.
Other innovative tools in this zone clean effectively, require less disinfectant, reduce time to clean and are more ergonomic for employees to use.
Zone 1: Aseptic Environments
The highest level of cleanroom standards resides within Zone 1. Rigorous contamination prevention protocols are required, as well as specialized cleaning products.
Items for this zone can include face goggles, hoods and softwall cleaners.
