Millstone Medical opens cleanroom to expand sterile packaging capacity

Published: 27-Jan-2010

Millstone Medical Outsourcing is to open a 500m² cleanroom at its US headquarters in Fall River, MA. The new cleanroom, which brings Millstone's overall cleanroom space to 750m², will be operational by the end of February.

Currently completing validations, the Fall River facility is designed to be ISO certified as a Class 7/Class 10,000 cleanroom. The cleanroom will be equipped with Sencorp bar and tray sealers and two Branson ultrasonic cleaning systems. The Branson cleaners are sourced by a Siemens Reverse Osmosis (RO) high purity water system equipped with ultra-violet sterilisers and filters to enhance water purification.

The cleanroom will also feature a Lighthouse continuous Particulate Monitoring System (PMS) to help maintain Class 10,000 standards. In addition to particulates, temperature, humidity and room pressure will be monitored via a web-based application. There are five pass-through and two air-lock chambers, as well as air, electric, and nitrogen utility hook ups throughout the cleanroom.

Millstone provides sterile packaging and distribution services to medical and dental device manufacturers worldwide.
