 Airborne infection isolation
• Isolation of patients infected/suspected to be infected with organisms spread via airborne droplet
nuclei <5 �m in diameter
• Greater exhaust than supply air volume
• Pressure differential of 2.5 Pa
• Clean to dirty airflow ie direction of the air flow is from the out side adjacent space (eg. corridor,
anteroom) into the room
