White
Paper: Use Of Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Biodecontamination Technology For
Facility Commissioning.
Arthur
Papineau, BS ChE, MBA and John Klostermyer, PhD, STERIS Life Sciences have
written a paper on the use of biocontamination technology.
The
abstract reads:
“This
article discusses the successful use of hydrogen peroxide vapor in the
biodecontamination of a new 100,000+ ft3 lab animal research facility for the
purpose of a facility commissioning process. It will discuss the reasons why
this process was chosen; the preparation of the facility; the execution of the
biodecontamination; and the results.
There
are many methods of biodecontamination available on the market today. Each
method has its advantages and disadvantages depending upon the scope of the
project and desired level of bioburden reduction. In this particular case, a
very high standard was set. The Customer wanted to have the entire 100,000+ ft3
facility and equipment within it (i.e. computers, washers, cage racks, etc.)
biodecontaminated with a validatable process that delivered a wide range of efficacy,
a high level of material compatibility, the least amount of downtime possible,
and a minimum of a 6-log reduction in bioburden.”
