Acoustic solutions for the medical device industry
Controlled environments with strict hygiene requirements
Medical device production requires a high degree of accuracy, consistency, and focus. These processes often occur in cleanrooms or other controlled environments where surface materials must meet rigorous hygiene standards. However, the presence of hard surfaces and technical equipment often creates a noisy, reverberant space that can disrupt concentration and make communication difficult.
Challenges:
- Ensuring clear communication and staff focus in acoustically challenging and hygiene critical environments
- High noise levels generated by production and inspection equipment
- Reverberation due to hard, reflective surfaces
- Poor speech clarity in critical communication zones
Solutions:
- Install an Ecophon Hygiene™ acoustic ceiling which is designed to comply with ISO 14644-1 cleanroom classifications. They effectively reduce sound levels, lower reverberation time, and contribute to a quieter, more focused workspace.
- Use a sound-absorbing wall to wall ceiling with a cleanable surface, and a high absorption classification to decrease the sound pressure level.
- Apply sound absorbing wall panels with suitable hygienic properties to further reduce noise levels and improve speech clarity.
