Visitors are required to clean their hands
when entering and leaving the isolation
room or bay with the alcohol gel provided.
It is important that visitors do not sit on the
bed as this can also transfer germs.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Removal or isolation of a workplace hazard
through technology.
1) AIIRs Airborne infection isolation room (AIIR).
Formerly,
negative pressure isolation room.
Single-occupancy patient-care room
Environmental factors are controlled in AIIRs
to minimize the transmission of infectious
agents by droplet nuclei associated with
coughing or aerosolization of contaminated
fluids.
2) PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENT:
A specialized patient-care area.
Positive air flow relative to the corridor (i.e.,
air flows from the room to the outside
adjacent space).
HEPA filtration
High numbers (>12) of air changes per hour
(ACH)
&
Minimal leakage of air into the room
Other components:
Use of scrubable surfaces .
Cleaning to prevent dust accumulation
No fresh flowers or potted plants.
Sharps injury prevention devices, sharps
containers.

Sterile Zone
Temp : 21 degree C +/- 3 degree C
Relative humidity : 40 % to 60 %
Fresh Air allowance : 10 per hour with Total air
changes 25 per hour. Total fresh air with no
recirculation in super speciality surgery.
Air filters : Through HEPA filters with filtration
level up to 0.3 microns and 99.97 % efficiency
with pre filters in the system(proven helpful in
super speciality OTs).
Positive pressure = 25 P
OTHER AREAS
Fresh air changes minimum 5 per hour and total
15 per hour with washable filters with filtration
level up to 5 microns.
One separate dedicated AHU designed to maintain
Positive pressure gradient so as to ensure flow of
air from sterile to clean and protective zone.
Aluminum air conditioning ducts with differential
pressure gauge / manometer across HEPA filters
so as to detect clogging or reduced flow of air.
No shelves will be provided inside OT.
Purified water will be supplied for scrub with steel
scrub and facility of dispensing of hand wash
Contd
Recommended floor surface is Epoxy resin
flooring, which has been found to be
seamless, scratch proof, hard enough for
wheeled trolleys, stain free and antistatic.
Laminar flow which is a low turbulence
downward displacement air flow towards the
operation zone through stainless steel
perforated grills is recommended
Drains, sewerage pipes and water line should
be avoided at least near and above operation
theatre sterile zones
Contd
Air curtains at the entry of sterile
zone should been planned.
