In GMP cleanrooms, preventing microbiological and particulate contamination is a fundamental prerequisite for process and product safety. But what about the operating devices? This whitepaper by Systec & Solutions explains why Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are not just neutral hardware, but hygiene-critical components with a direct impact on cleanroom safety.
What you will find in this whitepaper:
-
Scientific Evidence on Materials: Discover why metal surfaces—especially stainless steel—exhibit significantly higher microbial reduction and lower bacterial adhesion after cleaning compared to plastics.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Get a clear overview of how hygienic equipment design supports international standards like ISO 14644, ISO 11737, and the strict requirements of EU-GMP Annex 1 regarding Contamination Control Strategies (CCS).
-
Economic Efficiency: Learn how smooth, seamless surfaces and resistance to aggressive disinfectants minimize downtime, extend device service life, and ensure audit-ready operation.
