Scalable in-hospital decontamination of N95 filtering face-piece respirator with a peracetic acid room disinfection system 2020-10-12 .txt text/plain 4201 246 49 METHODS: A multidisciplinary pragmatic study was conducted to evaluate the use of an ultrasonic room high-level disinfection system (HLDS) that generates aerosolized peracetic acid (PAA) and hydrogen peroxide for decontamination of large numbers of N95 respirators. 9, 10 Given the shortage of N95 respirators, the CDC has provided updated guidance for extended use and limited reuse of these respirators by HCWs. 11 Several strategies have been proposed for conserving PPE: repurposing other devices to be used as FFRs; creating FFRs at home; and decontaminating N95s using ultraviolet-C germicidal irradiation, dry heat, moist heat, or vaporized hydrogen peroxide. A multi-institutional study was conducted at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UHCMC), Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center, and the Cleveland Veterans' Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) to evaluate the use of an ultrasonic room disinfection system that generates aerosolized PAA and hydrogen peroxide for disinfecting large numbers of N95 respirators. ./cache/cord-277776-5r9comw2.txt ./txt/cord-277776-5r9comw2.txt
