This portable unit uses hydrogen peroxide vapor as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, and is one of the most versatile pharmaceutical-grade biodecontamination machines for isolators, small enclosures, and cleanrooms.
STERIS' VHP® 1000ED provides a safe, environmentally friendly method to decontaminate sealed enclosures up to 10,000ft3.
HOW THE VHP 1000ED MOBILE BIODECONTAMINATION SYSTEM WORKS
STERIS’ VHP 1000ED Mobile Biodecontamination System utilizes Vaprox® Sterilant 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.
