Abstract: As isolator systems are being used more frequently in pharmaceutical manufacturing, it is worth considering the effect of using these types of systems with contamination control programs. The cleaning and disinfection of an isolator system using liquid sanitation techniques presents a variety of challenges to the cleaning and disinfection of cleanrooms. In isolator cleaning, one must also consider the particular application, whether it be pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device manufacturing, or hospital pharmacy.
