THird-party testing Determines Helmer REfrigerators and Freezers are acceptable for use in ISO 7 Cleanroom environments 

 

Cleanrooms must adhere to strict guidelines to ensure the preservation of critical medications and safety of operators within cleanroom environments. Once area of concern is about particulate generation with compressor-based refrigeration. 

A third-party testing group conducted a series of experiments on several Helmer refrigerator models (compressor-based) designed for use in laboratory and pharmacy environments as well as a competitor refrigerator model (thermoelectric) to understand the particulate generation of both compressor-based and thermoelectric models. 

The test results clearly indicated that the compressor-based refrigerator models have cleanroom suitability within a cleanroom of ISO Class 5. This is two levels more stringent that the ISO Class 7 standard used to validate USP <797> and USP <800> cleanrooms.

Test data shows both compressor-based and thermoelectric refrigerators are suitable in cleanroom environments. In fact, the study shows fewer particulates were measured in compressor-based models than thermoelectric.
