Brief description of ventilation systems. More details should be given for critical areas with potential risks of airborne contamination (schematic drawings of the systems are desirable). Classification of the rooms used for the manufacture of sterile products should be mentioned. 

Hiac/Royco is a division of Pacific Scientific together with Met One. Hiac manufacture a wide range of counters for liquid borne systems whereas Royco and Met One manufacture counters to monitor airborne contamination. A brief description of a selection from the Hiac range is presented below.

The objective of site reconnaissance is to explore the assumptions and conclusions of preliminary work that has been based on paper and other records. It should include land adjacent to the study site, where access is available. Firstly, the physical site description is confirmed as accurate. Then it can be extended by observations, such as the presence of unrecorded features, tanks, waste tips, surface water pounding and flow, vegetation and surface types and conditions. Secondly, the general presence and extent of sources can be confirmed. Thirdly, the presence of possible receptors can be confirmed or eliminated. Fourthly, pathways by which contamination can reach receptors, such as drains, streams or surface run-off are identified, although obviously sub-surface and airborne...
