Sterile corridor definition

Sterile corridor means an area of a surgical facility designated primarily for surgical cases and surgical support staff. Access to this corridor is controlled and the corridor is not used by the general public or personnel of the surgical facility whose primary work station is not in the operating suite(s) or whose primary work tasks do not require them to be in the operating suite(s) of a surgical facility. Examples of personnel who would normally use sterile corridors include physicians, surgeons, operating room nurses, laboratory or radiology personnel, and central supply or housekeeping personnel. Other terms commonly used to represent "sterile" in describing access areas include "restricted," "controlled," "limited access," or "clean."
