Abstract (en)
A stainless steel item for a sterile environment is produced by fabrication, pickling, polishing, drying, final cleaning in a cleanroom, first packing in the cleanroom, and second and third packing in an environmentally-controlled packing room. The cleanroom has an environment maintained at a sterility level at least matching that of the destination, such as a health care product production facility. Therefore, the item may be shipped directly to the facility and gradually have the packaging layers removed to allow direct installation. Contamination arising from fabrication and shipping is avoided and there is no need for cleaning at the destination facility. <IMAGE>
