20 Hydrogen Peroxide Dry-Mist System Hydrogen peroxide dry mist system (Sterinis) injects particles of 8 12 microns into room Disinfectant: 5% H2O2+ silver ions + phosphoric acid Reduces bacterial contamination in hospital rooms Appears to be less efficacious against C. difficile spores than hydrogen peroxide vapor Andersen BM et al.

21 Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) Hydrogen peroxide powerful bio-decontamination agent Hydrogen peroxide vapour technology has two key advantages: Low-Temperature: hydrogen peroxide vapour is produced in an air stream at approximately 149 F and introduced into an environment Residue-Free: Hydrogen peroxide breaks down in contact with UV light and organic material to water (humidity) and oxygen - hence there is no need for any postdecontamination clean up. Provides a rapid, low temperature, residue-free solution to bio-burden reduction
22 Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour Bioquell
23 Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour BioQuell single vapour generator is capable of bio-decontaminating a volume of approximately 5500ft Sequentially linking these generators together - any size of enclosure can potentially be bio-decontaminated. Injects a calculated high concentration hydrogen peroxide vapor stream into the room Time required to achieve micro-biological deactivation depends heavily on temperature and relative humidity
24 Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour BioQuell - at the end of the bio-deactivation phase of the process the hydrogen peroxide vapor is removed from the enclosure by the use of Clarus R2 catalytic filters which, not only decompose the hydrogen peroxide to water vapor and oxygen, but HEPA filter the air to ensure no particulate is circulated in the environment
25 Benefits of Bioquell Reduction in HAI: Bioquell has demonstrated infection rate reductions in well managed infection control programs, helping hospitals to truly Aim for Zero. Savings: Through reduction in infection rates, Bioquell can save hospitals the cost of uncompensated treatment. Supplies related savings: Bioquell is able to decontaminate unopened consumable supplies, negating the need to discard them. Rapid unit turnaround/outbreak remediation: Bioquell can return closed units to operation within 12 hours and is used frequently to stop outbreaks.
26 Indications and Use of BioQuell Single room to an entire unit, or even an entire hospital. Hospital staff can be trained to perform decontaminations safely and effectively.: After the patient has vacated housekeeping remove the bed linens and trash. Set up the room and equipment Enter user password in control panel - Select "parametric cycle" on control panel - Select the room being sterilized from the menu Start the process - When the control panel indicates the process is complete confirm the concentration is less than 1 ppm. Remove the equipment and return the room to service
27 Bioquell and C.difficile Bioquell s hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) technology is an effective, automated and repeatable surface biodecontamination system. It is designed to achieve total eradication of C. difficile from the environment, verified by inactivation of 6-log Geobacillus stearothermophilus biological indicators, the same method used to validate steam sterilizers/ autoclaves.

33 Decontamination of unused, packaged consumables contaminated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci using hydrogen peroxide vapour Jonathan A. Otter, Mike Duclos, Elaine Nowakowski, Catherine L. Passaretti and Trish Perl, MD, MSc Abstract SHEA 2010 Results: Seven (7%) of 100 items sampled before HPV grew VRE and none of 100 paired items cultured after HPV grew VRE (p =0.014, Fisher's Exact Test). Contaminated consumables were identified in four (20%) of the 20 rooms sampled. We did not note any damage on the consumables due to HPV exposure. The average value of disposed consumables was $92 per discharge. Conclusions: Consumables in rooms of patients with VRE were likely contaminated by healthcare workers' hands as they selected other supplies. In our study, HPV was effective for the decontamination of unused, packaged consumables. Our findings support either disposing of or decontaminating adequately unused, packaged consumables when a patient on precautions for VRE is discharged. Routine use of HPV for the decontamination of unused, packaged consumables that would otherwise have been disposed of would save $92 per discharge, thus offsetting the cost of HPV.

40 Binary Ionization Technology (BIT )
41 Binary Ionization Technology (BIT ) Binary Ionization Technology is a process that applies cold plasma to a spray of disinfecting solution usually, a weak hydrogen peroxide solution Creates a mist with a high concentration of reactive oxidative species (ROS) BIT spray can break down the cell walls of microorganisms and can denature toxic chemicals Because of its fast-acting, broad spectrum, environmentally friendly characteristics, products designed using BIT are ideal for clean rooms, hospitals, food processing, mold remediation, doctor's offices, pharmaceutical manufacturing, aseptic packaging
42 Binary Ionization SteraMist, Binary Ionization utilizing patented Technology (BIT ), assures that micro organisms (including spores) are destroyed in even the most hard-to-reach areas Process applies cold plasma activation to a hydrogen peroxide-based aerosol to create Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
43 Binary Ionization SteraMist provides fast acting, broad spectrum biological disinfection, and leaves no residue or noxious fumes. Environmentally safe for staff and hospital equipment, while providing maximum biological log reduction for hospitals and other mobile medical units.
44 MAX Dispersal Gun MAX is specifically designed for use in healthcare facilities and EMS applications. MAX includes all of the cutting-edge Micro-Mist technology that are standard in the reaction oxygen species, with the addition of Steri-Mist Applicator A micro-droplet dispersal gun which permits the operator to rapidly manually apply EPA-registered disinfectants and sanitizers to individual objects (e.g., needle drawers, ambulance seats, steering wheels, bed/gurney rails, call boxes, wheelchairs) that are invariably contaminated by high concentrations of dangerous and infectious bioburdens
45 Zimek Microparticle Generator with Microban
46 Zimek Systems Zimek Systems automatically apply EPA-registered disinfectants and sanitizers to any environment without human intervention using the Micro-Mist ultra-low volume delivery technique and Z-vac air filtration process Zimek's Micro-Mist consists of micro-droplets of disinfectants or sanitizers which defeat surface tension to access and kill infectious microbes wherever they may hide, wherever free air flows, causing a highly effective application Once the water evaporates, residues are lower than if less efficient means of distribution such as wipes or coarse sprays (applied while personnel are present) had been used
47 Zimek Systems Zimek's Micro-Mist Generator introduces a stream of air which is added to a mist of disinfectant or sanitizer generated by ultrasonic vibration Unlike thermal foggers or hydrogen peroxide vapor treatments Zimek's Micro-Mist does not involve heating the disinfectant or sanitizer Zimek's ultrasonic generated Micro-Mist is created in a manner virtually identical to the mist created by ultrasonic humidifiers

62 ? Problems with Fogging Disinfectants
63 Zimek EMS workers in a fog over disinfectant s feared danger Published: Saturday, December 25, 2010 by Matt Fair/The Times (Florida)
64 Zimek and Ambulance Workers It took a few months before officials with the Professional Emergency Medical Services Association of New Jersey (PEMSA) say they put two and two together. In the months after the Monmouth-Ocean Hospital Service Corporation (MONOC) began using newly acquired machines to disinfect its ambulances in May 2009 by pumping the vehicles full of pesticide fog, paramedics began experiencing troubling ailments, PEMSA officials say. PEMSA represents emergency medical personnel across New Jersey. In June, we started getting complaints from people about odors in the ambulances and people were developing different symptoms: migraines, nausea, asthma, eye irritation, skin irritation. It was a long list of symptoms, said Deborah Ehling, the union s president. More than a year later, according to Ehling, more than 100 MONOC employees report they re showing signs of illness, allegedly after exposure to the disinfectant chemical Zimek QD.
65 Zimek MSDS NOTE: Hazard information is based on the characteristics of the components of this mixture Ingestion - May cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Drowsiness or unconsciousness may occur. Inhalation - Low concentration of the vapor may cause irritation of the respiratory tract with possible chest pain and coughing. High concentrations may cause headache and drowsiness. Eye Contact - Causes eye irritation and possible permanent eye injury. Skin Contact - Prolonged contact may cause discomfort, redness, drying and defatting of the skin.
66 In Conclusion An advantage of micro-mist decontamination technology is that medical equipment that is difficult to disinfect or frequently escapes disinfection can be effectively decontaminated Shortcomings of decontamination technology include the inability to perform the procedure in rooms currently occupied by patients the need for well-trained personnel and special equipment the higher costs, compared with those associated with routine terminal room cleaning and longer turnaround times before vacated rooms are ready for occupancy by newly admitted patients Question of safety of some of the particles sprayed in the environment
