Claire Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination of N95 Respirators in a Dedicated Animal Research Facility for Reuse During a Novel Coronavirus Pandemic 2020-06-24 .txt text/plain 3878 164 41 To contribute to the decontamination effort for PPE needed in health sites in proximity to our institution, we repurposed a vacant animal research housing facility to establish a center for application of vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) to disinfect critical medical materials for their return into service. 22 Building on our decontamination efforts to date, the VHP process for human medical equipment was assessed internally with the intent to return disinfected N95 respirators to their original owners at our hospital partner sites and assist safety groups (police and fire departments) with equipment disinfection across the state of Michigan. Institutions with AAALAC-accredited animal research areas, all of which comply with regulated environmental controls, will be able to use our protocols, specific VHP cycle times, and BI exposure and collection instructions to deliver VHP decontamination of used medical materials for their regions as well. ./cache/cord-027880-1apexs6o.txt ./txt/cord-027880-1apexs6o.txt
