NHS Aseptic pharmacy cleanroom fit-out Case Study

NHS Aseptic pharmacy cleanroom fit-out

Leeds General Infirmary recently took possession of a new specialised cleanroom facility to be used for the aseptic preparation of individual patient doses of penicillin's, antibiotics, anti-fungal's, intrathecal injections and other intravenous medicines.

ufacture of pharmaceutical products is subject to special requirements in order to minimize the risks of microbiological and particulate contamination. Cleanrooms are environments in which the air quality, temperature and humidity are regulated in order to safe guard against dust and bacteriological contaminated particles, which exist naturally in the atmosphere.

sfy these needs the specialist main contractor turned to Birley Manufacturing to manufacture the complete furniture requirements from their Sheffield factory and then had them install these for the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust on site.

ktops and shelves were constructed of solid grade Trespa TM with worktops being supported by 316 grade stainless steel legs and feet. To ensure easy cleaning all under bench storage furniture was fully mobile.

Phil Hingley, Business Development Manager for Birley Manicaturing said. "With throughput of up to 60,000 items per year it was essential that the new facility met many stringent requirements."
