Hi all

EN285 please. If you are talking about the need to have a pass though steriliser then I can only have this:

* AS 4187:2014 – 5.6.2 only emphasized the need to have a unidirectional workflow from the dirty to clean areas. In this context, the integrity of the processed item is at greater risk of recontamination and best practice suggests to have a pass through if it is feasible. It is not explicit though,

* on the other hand AHFG assumed: https://aushfg-prod-com-au.s3.amazonaws.com/HPU_B.0190_6_2.pdf
“The size of the area will be dependent on the number and type of sterilizers installed. Pass through sterilizers are assumed as this provides the necessary separation of loading and unloading zones within the sterilization area”

Hope this helps
