VHP ARD Mobile System
STERIS' VHP® ARD Mobile Biodecontamination System provides a flexible, safe, environmentally friendly method to decontaminate a wide variety of sealed enclosures up to 10,000ft3.
HOW THE VHP ARD MOBILE BIODECONTAMINATION SYSTEM WORKS
STERIS’ VHP ARD Biodecontamination System utilizes Vaprox® Sterilant (EPA Reg. No. 58779-4) as a means of achieving dry, low temperature sterilization within large sealed enclosures such as cleanrooms and filling lines. The dry, gaseous process consists of four distinct phases:
Dehumidification - Humidity is removed from the room space via an integrated desiccant system. This is done to ensure that a true, dry biodecontamination process is achieved.
Conditioning - Vaprox is rapidly injected by the generator and converted into a dry vapor that quickly raises the level of hydrogen peroxide to an effective concentration.
Biodecontamination - Hydrogen peroxide vapor concentrations are maintained at the target concentration level to provide an effective kill of micro-organisms in the room space.
Aeration - The generator stops injecting Vaprox and accelerates the breakdown of vapor into its environmentally friendly base elements of water vapor and oxygen. Aeration continues until hydrogen peroxide is reduced to an acceptable level and the room is commissioned for regular use.
WHY VHP ARD MOBILE BIODECONTAMINATION SYSTEMS?
-
Productivity – Decontaminates sealed enclosures up to 10,000ft3 such as clean rooms, animal holding and procedure rooms, biocontainment laboratories, pass-through rooms, HEPA filter banks, biosafety cabinets, chambers pass-through rooms.
-
Ease of Use - Light weight, portable unit can be easily maneuvered among several rooms or piped to each room or enclosure.
-
Flexibility – Can be placed inside or outside of room enclosure.
-
Efficacy - The gaseous decontamination process is effective against a wide variety of microorganisms and has a broad range of material compatibility.
-
Green - Provides a non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to other decontamination processes. Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down to water vapor and Oxygen.
