Making handsfree communication possible in critical environments
The Clean Room (Aseptic Area) Phone (Model AI-CRP-SS) is a communication solution designed for aseptic areas and cleanroom environments. It offers true hands free operation and programmable activation modes, so personnel can talk to colleagues outside the controlled area without introducing a conventional office telephone into a critical space. It is built for hospital operating theatres, pharmaceutical plants, biomedical facilities, and other environments where sterile conditions have to be maintained.
The phone is made from SS304 stainless steel as standard, with a full stainless steel body and dial. The result is a hygienic, durable, vandal resistant unit that is suited to frequent cleaning.
Speak, listen, and stay hands free
The phone has a built-in microphone and speaker, so no handset is needed. Operators speak and listen hands free, which means they can communicate with personnel outside the controlled area while keeping physical contact with the equipment to a minimum.
A front facing 4 x 3 matrix keypad and an auto dial button sit on the front panel for straightforward operation. The programmable activation modes let the system be set to activate and deactivate automatically or manually, depending on how your team prefers to use it.
The phone connects via analog connection to existing systems. It mounts either flush in the wall or on the wall surface, and its circuit boards are encapsulated to resist water and condensation.

Take the weak points out of the design
Surfaces made to be cleaned
A standard telephone has exposed surfaces, gaps, and components that make cleaning harder and contamination control less reliable. A cleanroom phone takes those weak points out of the design. The AI-CRP-SS uses a full stainless steel body and smooth external surfaces that are intended to simplify cleaning and support hygienic operation.
Less contact between people and equipment
Hands free use also means staff do not have to pick up, hold, and put back a handset, which reduces the contact between people and the equipment.
Automatic or manual, your choice
The phone provides true hands free operation with programmable activation modes. In automatic mode, the system activates and deactivates without anyone touching it. In manual mode, activation and deactivation are controlled by the user. Choose the mode that matches how your operators work, and discuss the setting at the specification stage so the phone arrives configured for your area.
Cleaned like the surfaces around it
The stainless steel construction is intended to support regular cleaning and sanitization, and its smooth external surfaces make routine cleaning more practical. The front dial has a chemical resistant laminated overlay that protects against a range of solvents and chemicals encountered in cleanroom environments.
Cleaning procedures should always follow the chemical compatibility and sanitization requirements of your facility, so check your disinfectants against the manufacturer's guidance before adding them to the cleaning schedule.
Getting the AI-CRP-SS into your facility
Mounting
Choose flush mounting for a clean, integrated finish with fewer protrusions, or wall mounting where the wall cannot be opened.
Telephone connection
The phone works with standard analog telephone systems. The specific connection arrangement should be confirmed before installation.
Environment
Encapsulated circuit boards help the electronics withstand the water and condensation of cleaning routines and sterile area conditions.
Supplied to suit your installation
Depending on project requirements, options such as cable length, mounting arrangement, and communication interfaces may be available. Discuss customization during the project specification stage so the phone is supplied to suit your installation.
Supports contamination control practice
A cleanroom phone does not measure or control anything, so its compliance role is about contamination control practice. Good practice in aseptic and sterile areas is to keep personnel movement and interventions to a minimum, and a hands free phone lets staff communicate without leaving the controlled space. The stainless steel construction supports the regular cleaning and sanitization that classified areas require.
Ace Instruments manufactures the AI-CRP-SS under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, and the phone is CE certified. The phone does not carry a cleanroom classification by itself, so confirm its suitability for your area against your own contamination control strategy.
