A.
Nursery Isolation Room relative pressurization requirements may vary
among individual facilities, depending upon functional requirements.
Designers shall coordinate with the Using Service for each facility
to determine whether disease isolation (negative pressurization) or
protective isolation (positive pressurization) is required. While
"switchability" (room convertible from disease isolation to
protective isolation, or vice versa) is discouraged, facility
function and program limitations may dictate that this feature be
provided.
B.
General Filtration. Prefilters, 25%, are required for all outdoor
air. The values for the 25%, 80% and 90% filters are by the
atmospheric dust spot efficiency test. The atmospheric dust spot
efficiencies are the minimum average and are based on ASHRAE Standard
52-76. Designation "99" indicates that a 99.97 % efficiency HEPA
filter is required, based on the DOP (Dy-Octyl Phthalate, or bis 2-
ethylhexylphthalate) test method. The DOP test efficiency is based
on MIL-STD 282. All filters should be installed to prevent leakage
between the filter segments and between the filter and its supporting
frame.
C.
During period of non-use, the air volume may be reduced to 6 air
changes per hour, while maintaining the required air balance. 90
percent intermediate filtration is indicated because the same AHU
normally serves adjacent OR/DR support areas requiring this level of
filtration. Where the AHU serves only OR/DR spaces, the 90%
intermediate filter may be replaced with a 60%-80% filter, intended
to prolong the life of the final filter.
