Positive PressureNegative Pressure 5/5/2015 Bessaad & To 9 Design Considerations: Flexibility in Adjusting Room Pressure Ensure a clean processing environment and prevent contamination of the external environment. Air exhausts through floor-level vents. Double-wall steel models feature offset exhaust vents to minimize the chance of contaminants. Benefits: Reduce risk of airborne infection Disaster preparedness: pandemic flu Ensure staff and other patient safety
