In addition to setting out the principal changes in these revised standards, many of the other chapters in the book have been updated to reflect their requirements, bringing current practices and Good Manufacturing Practice regulations up-to-date. Many of the authors share best practice guidance. The chapters on isolators and other barrier devices contain added information about vapour phase bio-decontamination using hydrogen peroxide. There are also updates to those chapters surveying the future of aseptic processing and cleanroom technology, with a special focus on areas like automation. This updated edition will prove an essential resource to all practitioners involved in the operation and management of cleanrooms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eClean Air and Contamination Control, Issue 44.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-reviews\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- end of div.pdp-reviews --\u003e","brand":"Euromed Communications","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":23048616411221,"sku":"BKCRMPHC2HBK001","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":23120488333397,"sku":"BKCRMPHC2EBK001","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0091\/8172\/4757\/files\/Cleanroom-Management.jpg?v=1737452430"},{"product_id":"1-year-subscription-clean-air-and-containment-review","title":"1 Year Subscription - Clean Air and Containment Review","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISSN 2042-3268\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe journal will be of interest to all users and suppliers of clean air and containment equipment.

The number of airborne bacteria-carrying particles in the operating room is considered an indicator of the risk of infection to the patient undergoing surgery. To prevent surgical site infection, it is desirable to keep the number of bacteria-carrying particles as low as possible in the operating room air, especially during orthopaedic prosthetic surgery. Today, when the supply air to the operating room is HEPA-filtered, the main source of airborne microorganisms is from people (patient and personnel\/staff). Alongside the ventilation system, the filtration efficacy of the fabric in surgical clothing\u003cbr\u003esystems has a key role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work presented here is a summary of the results achieved by the authors over the last three decades in practical safety ventilation. This work focusses on contamination control in operating rooms regarding airborne bacteria-carrying particles and describes the technical control measures: ventilation (air distribution) and clothing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the chapters are based on papers published in peer-reviewed journals and the proceedings of international conferences. Furthermore, some of the results were earlier reported in Licentiate and PhD theses in the field of Safety Ventilation by Johan Nordenadler(PhD 2010), Pedro Gandra (Licentiate Eng 2018), and Catinka Ullmann (PhD 2019).This book is designed as a text for educational purposes and as a reference for practical applications. Each chapter covers a specific topic and can be read separately. Some mathematical expressions are described in equations as well as in figures. Examples of how to use these equations in practical situations are described in Chapter 12 while some mathematical descriptions devised for MSc and PhD students are included in Appendices A1 and A2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe book summarises more than 30 years of scientific work by the two authors in practical safety ventilation, contamination control in operating rooms concerning airborne bacteria carrying particles, and technical control through ventilation and clothing systems. Each chapter covers a specific topic with well-designed illustrations and references for further reading. […] This book could serve as a textbook for educational purposes as well as a reference for any specific topic in this area.
