OBJECTIVES

gowning procedures.

• Explain the proper gowning procedures.


INTRODUCTION
• A cleanroom is a controlled environment where products are
manufactured.
• Frequently found in electronics, pharmaceutical,
biopharmaceutical, medical device industries and other critical
manufacturing environments.
INTRODUCTION
• A room in which the concentration of airborne particles is
controlled to specified limits.
• Eliminating sub-micron airborne contamination is really a
process of control.
• These contaminants are generated by people, process, facilities
and equipment.
INTRODUCTION
• Contaminants must be continually removed from the air.
• The level to which these particles need to be removed
depends upon the standards required.
• Strict procedures should be followed whenever entering
or cleaning a cleanroom.
• Compromise is not acceptable when cleaning in a
cleanroom.
REASONS FOR GOWNING
• To keep the clean room free of contamination. The
human body is a bad contaminate for:
– Microelectronics
– Particles and dirt
– Dead skin from your body
– Hair particles
– Skin oils
– Pollen, dust, moisture from your breath
REASONS FOR GOWNING

Room;
