#biodecontamination

Decontamination is an important procedure of any infection prevention and control program in healthcare settings.  It is often used in the hospital environment to ensure human safety. Therefore we can keep hospital areas safe by decontaminating healthcare equipment and other premises. Infection can be spread via inadequately decontaminated items. So effective bio-decontamination processes of medical devices ensure such equipment do not pose an infection risk for patients and healthcare workers. Failure to implement an adequate decontamination procedure increases the risk of infection.

Decontamination of Hospital Equipments

All hospital equipment is either single-use or reusable.

Single-use equipment should not be reused and should be discarded appropriately after use.

All reusable equipment must be decontaminated between use and between patients. Failure to decontaminate hospital equipment or the environment may not always be obvious, but it can result in cross-infection and put patients at risk.  

Decontamination is a term that encompasses all the methods necessary to enable reusable equipment to be reused. This includes

1. Cleaning

2. Disinfection

3. Sterilization

The choice of decontamination method is often determined by the risk of infection associated with particular healthcare equipment. Regardless of use, any equipment must, as a minimum, be cleaned between patients. Cleaning is an essential pre-requisite of any disinfection or sterilization process.

Fumigation Unit

UTOPIA'S fumigation unit is highly preferred Sterilizers for the Contaminated equipment in the Hospitals. The Fumigation unit consists of a gas supply unit through which HCHO gas and NH4HCO3 gas (Powerful disinfectants) are passed to sterilize the hospital equipment with the help of a heater and blower.

                                 Bio Decontamination at Hospital

Bio-decontamination is an essential practice of infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities. It is often used in the hospital environment to ensure human safety. Therefore we can keep hospital areas safe by bio-decontaminating hospital equipment and other premises. Failure to adequately decontaminate hospital equipment will increase the risk of transmission of infection between patients. So, the aim of strictly implementing bio-decontamination at hospitals is to ensure people's safety.

Whether it is a new laboratory research facility or renovation of an existing facility, a sound commissioning process is vital to start-up success.  The commissioning process ensures that the facility and equipment within the facility are ready for occupancy and use.  Additionally, it ensures compliance with federal, state and local requirements.  Part of this process includes a post-construction biodecontamination of the facility to ensure the safe integration of workers and animals into the new space.  There are many factors that go into choosing the best method of biodecontamination.
