Cleanroom installations continue at a rapid clip as many facilities find it necessary to add additional cleanroom space to support varying CSP production needs. Stick-built and modular hard wall construction remain the most popular approaches, respectively. Fewer facilities are opting for open architecture rooms.
Despite the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, cleanroom adoptions grew in 2021; 85% of all facilities are now utilizing a cleanroom suite with a dedicated HEPA filtration system.
While the HVAC system in the cleanroom is typically dedicated to that space alone, 39% of hospital pharmacy cleanrooms share their HVAC system with other spaces.
The few facilities operating without a cleanroom are typically smaller hospitals that rely on other facilities in their health system to provide centralized compounding services.
