Soft Wall Cleanrooms
What Is a Soft Wall Cleanroom?
A soft wall cleanroom is a modular controlled environment that uses flexible vinyl curtain panels as the wall enclosure, rather than rigid solid panels. Soft wall cleanrooms are the fastest-to-deploy and most economical modular cleanroom option, making them an excellent choice for medical device manufacturers who need controlled environments quickly. MediClean soft wall cleanrooms are custom-designed to your specifications, ensuring the right performance at the right cost.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common questions about Soft Wall Cleanrooms from medical device manufacturers.
Q: How quickly can a soft wall cleanroom be installed?
A: MediClean soft wall cleanrooms are typically installed within days, depending on size and configuration. This makes them the fastest modular cleanroom option for medical device manufacturers who need controlled environments quickly.
Q: What ISO classification can a soft wall cleanroom achieve?
A: Soft wall cleanrooms are typically best suited for ISO Class 5 (100 particles ≥0.5μm per cubic foot), ISO Class7 (10,000particles) and ISO Class 8 (100,000 particles) applications. For tighter classifications, MediClean will recommend a hard wall or rigid wall system.
Q: Is a soft wall cleanroom appropriate for FDA-regulated medical device manufacturing?
A: Yes, for appropriate process classifications. Soft wall cleanrooms can support FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485 compliance when correctly designed and certified for the applicable ISO classification. MediClean’s team will ensure your cleanroom meets the regulatory requirements for your specific device type and manufacturing process.
