Attachment A Annual TB Testing Room List.xlsx

This is an attachment listing the annual tuberculosis (TB) testing room requirements for the VA Sierra Nevada Health Care System across multiple buildings and facilities.

The document specifies minimum air change (ACH) requirements, tested CFM values, room volumes, air balance requirements, and testing frequencies for isolation rooms, procedure rooms, operating rooms, and specialized facilities throughout Buildings B, C, F, G, H, and J. Testing is required annually for most rooms, with quarterly testing mandated for Building G's Sterile Processing Services (SPS) areas including decontamination, cart wash/storage, sterile prep, and clean/sterile storage rooms. Key ISO rooms include isolation and ante rooms with 12 ACH and 10 ACH requirements respectively across multiple floors in Building B (primary care, ICU, and medical-surgical units), procedure rooms in Buildings C and F requiring 15-25 ACH, and specialized areas such as chemotherapy rooms (30 ACH), operating rooms (20 ACH), and bronchoscopy/cardiac catheterization labs (15 ACH) in Building G. Air balance requirements are specified directionally (positive or negative pressure) between connected spaces such as corridors, ante rooms, and isolation rooms. Note (1) specifies that certain ante rooms must maintain 0.01 inches of water column negative air pressure with airflow from corridor to ante room to isolation room, with the ante room positive relative to the isolation room but negative relative to the corridor. This attachment serves as the technical specification for the Test and Balance service contract requiring contractors to verify compliance with these HVAC design specifications in accordance with the VA HVAC Design Manual 2011.
