Modular Cleanrooms
What Is a Modular Cleanroom?
A modular cleanroom is a prefabricated, controlled environment designed to limit airborne particles, contaminants, and environmental variables. Unlike traditionally constructed cleanrooms, modular cleanrooms use prefabricated panels and components that can be assembled on-site and reconfigured or relocated as your manufacturing needs evolve. MediClean specializes in modular cleanrooms engineered specifically for the demands of medical device manufacturing—where compliance with ISO 14644.
Why Modular Cleanrooms for Medical Device Manufacturing?
Medical device manufacturers operate in some of the most tightly regulated manufacturing environments in the world. A modular cleanroom offers the flexibility, speed, and scalability required to adapt to changing production volumes, product lines, and regulatory standards. MediClean’s modular systems allow you to expand, reconfigure, or relocate your cleanroom without the cost and disruption of conventional construction.
- Faster installation than stick-built cleanrooms
- Scalable and reconfigurable as operations grow
- Meets ISO Class 5–8 requirements for medical device manufacturing
- Supports FDA, ISO 13485, and GMP compliance
- Lower lifecycle cost than traditional construction
- Tremendous tax advantage: The full investment can be depreciated in 5 years or less, as opposed to 39 years for permanent stick built cleanrooms.
MediClean Modular Cleanroom Types
MediClean offers three core modular cleanroom configurations—each designed to address distinct manufacturing requirements and environmental control needs.
Rigid Wall Cleanrooms
Rigid wall cleanrooms from MediClean feature flat, crystal-clear modular panels that provide a polished, professional aesthetic while delivering enhanced differential pressure control and cleanroom integrity. Rigid wall systems are ideal for medical device assembly, inspection, and packaging environments where visual cleanliness and ISO performance are equally critical.
Hard Wall Cleanrooms
Hard wall cleanrooms are MediClean’s most durable modular solution. With a robust frame and secure ceiling grid, hard wall cleanrooms deliver superior chemical resistance, tight temperature and humidity control, and the structural stability required for long-term, high-compliance manufacturing operations.
Soft Wall Cleanrooms
Soft wall cleanrooms offer the fastest installation time and the most economical entry point into controlled-environment manufacturing. MediClean’s soft wall cleanrooms are custom-tailored to your specifications and are ideal for lower-classification cleanroom applications or environments requiring rapid deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common questions about Modular Cleanrooms from medical device manufacturers.
Q: What ISO classification can MediClean modular cleanrooms achieve?
A: MediClean modular cleanrooms can be engineered to achieve ISO Class 5 through ISO Class 8, along with appropriate HVAC configuration. Our team will help determine the correct classification for your specific medical device manufacturing process.
Q: How long does it take to install a modular cleanroom?
A: Installation timelines vary by cleanroom size and type. Soft wall and Rigid wall cleanrooms can often be installed in days, while larger hard wall systems may take several weeks. MediClean manages the full installation process to minimize disruption to your operations.
Q: Can a modular cleanroom be relocated or expanded?
A: Yes. One of the primary advantages of modular cleanrooms is their reconfigurability. MediClean cleanrooms can be disassembled, relocated, and re-certified, and additional modules can be added as your production needs grow.
Q: What is the difference between a hard wall and a rigid wall cleanroom?
A: Hard wall cleanrooms prioritize durability, chemical resistance, and stringent temperature/humidity control. Rigid wall cleanrooms feature clear flat panels for high-visibility environments and offer excellent pressure control and temperature and humidity monitoring. MediClean’s specialists can help you determine the right choice based on your process and regulatory requirements.
Q: Does MediClean provide cleanroom certification?
A: Yes. MediClean supports cleanroom certification to ISO 14644 standards. We hire 3rd party certifying partners to ensure your cleanroom is tested and documented to perform at the specified classification.
