Microbiological air samplers and their role in effective EM programs

With the new draft revision of EU GMP Annex 1 demonstrating the highest standards in patient safety, all healthcare businesses, that make use of cleanrooms in their manufacturing and production activities, are paying fresh attention to their environmental monitoring policies. This draft revision is also considered a big step towards creating a recognised global standard for the maintenance of cleanroom environments; hence the level of detail. If your business is one of the many that will be affected by this latest draft revision of the EU GMP Annex 1 once it is published, you are no doubt exploring ways to ensure your EM measures are efficient, effective and compliant. As soon as the revision is passed and published, there will be a short period of time in which to ramp up your processes for compliance. Microbial air samplers are a staple piece of equipment in cleanrooms and play a critical role in maintaining confidence in an aseptic environment. Regardless of which specific industry sector your business falls within, to achieve the best results, all cleanroom operators need to employ both active and passive equipment for accurate measurements.
