Facilities are routinely purchasing equipment for their
critical environments (laboratories, production rooms, filling rooms, animal
holding rooms, grow rooms, etc).
The equipment
can be purchased new directly from the manufacturer, or purchased used from a
third party.
Hardly any new piece of equipment
is manufactured and delivered under sterile conditions, and most used equipment
does not come “certified clean”.
This leaves
the facility in charge of ensuring that the equipment is clean and safe to be installed
in their critical environment.
As it can
be extremely challenging for a facility to perform a complete decontamination
of equipment, we have been offering our services to decontaminate newly
purchased equipment at the delivery location using chlorine dioxide gas, a US
EPA registered sterilant proven capable of eliminating all viruses, bacteria, fungi
and spores.
Depending on the size of the equipment and its final
installed location, decontamination can take place prior to installation in a
container or plastic tent, or after installation by decontaminating the entire
room. Decontaminating the room after the
equipment has been installed eliminates the risk of recontamination as the
equipment is transferred into place, and allows for any pathogens disturbed by
the installation process to be treated.
This makes it the safest method, but it can be more challenging and more
expensive if the room the equipment is installed in is very large.
