4. Clean Zone:

The clean zone is designed around the aseptic zone. This zone is only accessible to staff having changed their outer clothing in the protective zone and prepared patients transferred from the ward trolley to OT stretcher, and clean supplies. ‘Patient holding and preparation area’ is earmarked in the clean zone.

This zone contains storage space for clean surgical supplies, medical stores including parental solutions, and instruments. Anaesthesia induction rooms, anaesthesia stores and anesthetist’s room are located in this zone.

A frozen section laboratory, if provided and any darkroom facility should be located in the clean zone.

grey area


Explanation:
Según este sitio (http://www.hgculiacan.com/enfermeria/ceye.htm) el área gris es "la zona controlada con medidas higiénicas y sanitarias previos al ingreso de área blanca, que se componen por las zonas de lavado, y mesas de trabajo. El área de recepción y preparación del instrumental así como el área de autoclaves." La traducción sería "grey area" según este sitio: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Grey area.

Asker: I think you're a little quick to the draw. Your reference has nothing to do with the term I am seeking.

clean zone


Explanation:
The "área gris" is intermediate between the "área negra" and the "área blanca". There're also called "zonas"; I don't think it makes any difference. Here's an explanation; it won't let me copy and paste, so I'll summarize:

"Quirófano
Se divide en varias áreas con diferentes funciones: Área negra, Área gris y área blanca [...]
Zona negra: La primera área de restricción ... acceso ... se revisan las condiciones y presentación del paciente ... trabajo administrativo ... cambio de ropa del personal ...
Zona gris: ... áreas de circulación ... central de anestesia ... rayos x portátiles, banco de sangre, sala de recuperación, pasillo interno donde se encuentran los lavabos ...
Zona blanca: de máxima asepsia. Zona estéril que viene siendo propiamente la sala de operaciones ..."
Slides 4 and 6-9
http://es.slideshare.net/arloa/area-quirurgica

I think these correspond to what are at least sometimes called the "protective zone", the "clean zone" and the "sterile zone":

"• Protective Zone: Areas included in this zone are:
o Reception
o Waiting area
o Trolley bay
o Changing room
• Clean Zone: Areas included in this zone are:
o Pre-op room
o Recovery room
o Plaster room
o Staff room
o Store
• Sterile Zone: Areas included in this zone are:
o Operating Suite
o Scrub Room
o Anesthesia Induction Room
o Set up Room"
http://www.peerlesshospital.com/services/ot.html

"Protective zone - Changing rooms and Recovery wards, CCTV room etc.
Clean Zone - Clean movement and rest area, sterile stores. General supply storeroom, X-Ray Dark room, Lab and Rapid autoclave room, staff base including office of the Director OT and the Anesthesiologist's room and Dictation Secretariat.
Sterile Zone - The operating room and its ancillaries."

agree  Charles Davis: I agree, of course (and area or zone are equally correct, I think). I think the "disposal area/zone" falls outside the black/grey/white scheme; they must call it something else in Spanish. But "clean" and "gris" do match well.

  -> I also saw Operation Suites (a new term for me) with two zones: 'clean and dirty corridors'. I think every hospital must call the areas by different names. Anyway, thanks for your agreement!

En la zona gris se requiere portar el uniforme completo. En esta zona se encuentran el área de lavado quirúrgico, la central de equipos, cuarto de anestesia, sala de recuperación, cuarto de rayos X y también cuarto séptico. Además debe comunicar con el laboratorio de análisis clínicos, banco de sangre y con el servicio de anatomía patológica.

The nearest I can find is 'scrub area'.
