We have recently opened a brand new SSD in Victoria and apart from the required validation of the sterilisers, the only area that we did do air sampling was in our sterile store room where we had Hepa Filtration. In our clean/packing room no microbiological sampling was undertaken as these areas do not have Hepa Filtration.
Happy for you to discuss off-line if you have further questions.

Good Evening
I am someone within the AICALIST brains trust can provide some advice regarding the necessity for microbial sampling of newly constructed SSD. I have not been able to find any reference to this being recommended prior to opening.
Does anyone know of any guidelines that apply to NSW?
Or, national or international references that may indicate that this would be recommended from a best practice point of view.
I would be grateful for any advice within the next few days, if possible.
Thank you
Beth
