Comprehensive Hospital Air Quality Testing Solution

Hospital Air: A Deciding Factor in Health and Medical Safety

The air quality in hospitals is one of the most important factors affecting patient health, treatment effectiveness, and operational safety . Critical areas such as operating rooms, recovery rooms, and intensive care units (ICU) all require control of microorganisms, dust particles, humidity, and pressure to prevent cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections .

Regular air quality measurement & testing helps hospitals meet WHO GMP , ISO 14644 , aiming for Cleanroom GMP Standards for Healthcare and applying Air Testing Technology .

To learn more about air quality, your company may refer to WHO's Air Quality Guidelines .

Essential Measuring Devices for Hospital Air Quality Testing

Dust Particle Counter – Controlling Hazardous Fine Particles

• Function: Measures the quantity of dust particles in the air (PM0.3, PM2.5, PM10) according to the ISO 14644-1
• Application: Monitors air quality in operating rooms, ICUs, microbiology labs
• Risk Warning: High dust particle levels may affect surgeries and cause contamination of medical instruments
• Key Features:
• ✅ Measures precise dust particle levels according to GMP standards
• ✅ Integrated warning system for when safety thresholds are exceeded
• ✅ Stores testing data to support regular air quality reports

Airborne Microorganism Tester – Detecting Harmful Bacteria and Molds

• Function: Analyzes bacteria, fungal spores, and viruses in the air
• Application: Particularly essential in intensive care units, operating rooms, and infectious disease treatment areas
• Risk Warning: If bacteria or mold levels exceed standards, the hospital must initiate immediate decontamination
• Key Features:
• ✅ Detects airborne harmful bacteria & molds in the air
• ✅ Evaluates contamination levels according to the ISO 14698
• ✅ Measured data can be exported for reports, supporting regular air quality monitoring

Hospital Air Quality Testing Process

Hospital air testing is not a one-time process but requires a regular monitoring procedure , ensuring maintenance of a clean & safe environment for patients .

Step 1: Identify Testing Areas

• Prioritize measurements in critical areas:
• Operating rooms, intensive care units (ICU)
• Pharmaceutical warehouses, aseptic compounding rooms
• Microbiology labs, infectious disease treatment zones

Step 2: Use Appropriate Measuring Devices

• Measure dust particles using a particle counter according to ISO 14644-1 standards
• Test for bacteria and molds using a microbiology sampling machine

Step 3: Record Data & Analyze

• Compare measured results with WHO-GMP, ISO 14698 standards
• If elevated dust particle or microbial concentrations are detected , immediate corrective actions must be taken

Step 4: Report Results & Propose Solutions

• Prepare an air quality assessment report for the hospital
• Provide improvement proposals if there is a risk of contamination, and simultaneously implement Cleanroom Construction

After evaluation, the hospital may proceed with Healthcare Cleanroom Construction to ensure the environment consistently meets standards.
