No excluded pathogens detected (barrier exclusion list). arrier facilities with PI-restricted access. Micro isolator cages. Autoclaved cages and bedding. HEPA-filtered workspace in a Level A+ procedure space within the animal facility. isposable yellow gown donned at facility entrance Gloves (required if opening cages) Irradiated diet. PI-maintained breeding colonies, or conventional rodents - rederived or direct from approved vendors. No excluded pathogens detected (barrier exclusion list). arrier facilities with restricted access Micro isolator cages. Autoclaved cages and bedding. Irradiated or extruded diet. HEPA-filtered workspace in a Level A procedure area within the animal facility. If handled outside a HEPA-filtered workspace, must be in a Level A procedure room dedicated to a defined user group. isposable yellow gown donned at facility entrance Hair cover (required for immunocompromised rodent work) Face mask (required for immunocompromised rodent work) Gloves (required if opening cages)

2 Rodent Room lassification System Level Rodent escr./ Examples PI or LAM-maintained breeding colonies - cleared through LAM quarantine, direct from approved vendors or rederived. Microbiological Status No excluded pathogens detected (general exclusion list). Housing Procedure Space PPE Requirements arrier facilities with restricted access Micro isolator cages.
