provided with HEPA filtration. 15/2 total and outside air changes,
respectively, are required for these bedrooms. As with disease isolation
bedrooms, there are several recognized approaches to the relative corridor-
anteroom-bedroom pressurization; A recommended approach is to establish
the anteroom positively pressurized relative to the corridor, and
negatively pressurized relative to the bedroom.
8.17.2.1
Existing Facilities. When upgrading existing protective
isolation bedrooms to this criteria, 15/2 air changes per hour shall be
provided if economically and physically practicable. When impractical,
these bedrooms shall be provided with a minimum of 6 total air changes per
hour and supplemented by HEPA filtration or UVGI systems to provide the
equivalent of 15 air changes.
8.17.3
Disease Isolation Exam or Waiting Rooms. Disease isolation
exam or waiting rooms shall be provided with a minimum of 12 total air
changes, as provided in Appendix A, with the room air exhausted to the
