A clean room or buffer room is an engineering control room that is secondary. Located here (the LAFH, BSC, or CA), the engineering controls are responsible for actually performing the compounding. The clean room is an enclosed environment with one or more clean zones whose airborne particle concentrations are controlled by HEPA filters, constant air circulation, and a physical barrier to unfiltered air. As a result of a clean room, acceptable airborne particles, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and airflow patterns can be created. A clean room is classified by its quality of air and how consistently it is kept clean.
Table 1
A clean room consists of the following components in addition to those already mentioned:
Air-lock entry portals
To remove the particular matter from shoes, there should be a sticky mat
UV irradiation
For incoming air, treatment systems and special filtration
Positive room air pressure prevents pollutants from entering from neighboring rooms.
In terms of standards, clean rooms are classified into many classes. Table 2 shows the equivalency of classes based on several international standards.
Table - 2
(a) - The particle count for this size is per ft, whereas others are per m.
Table – 3
Remarks
In order to achieve air grades B, C, and D, the number of air changes should be proportional to the room size, as well as the equipment and employees present. HEPA filters of grades A, B, and C should be installed in the air system.
An unmanned state (no manual action) should be received after 15-20 minutes of "clean up."
Appropriate warning and response limits for particulate and microbiological monitoring findings should be established. If these restrictions are exceeded, a remedial action should be made in the operating processes.
Depending on the nature of the product and the production method, other factors (such as temperature, relative humidity, etc.) are necessary. These criteria have no bearing on the purification classes.
Table – 4
It is recommended to process most items in a grade D environment, with grade C environments only being used when there is a particularly dangerous situation.
Table – 5
After washing, the components should be handled in a category D environment. Handling the sterile beginning material should take place in a grade A setting with a grade B background. In the case of sterile filtration, the solution needs to be prepared in a grade C environment. In the absence of filtration, it needs to be prepared in a grade A environment with a grade B background. In order to handle and fill items prepared in an aseptic environment, the environment should be grade A. In an area that does not have a grade B backdrop, sterile ointments, creams, suspensions, and emulsions should be prepared in a grade A environment and not filtered afterward. Control of zone purity by particles in operation and microbiological control are necessary in an aseptic production area, and the acceptable limits are shown in table 6:
