Title: Vapor H2O2 sterilization as a decontamination method for the reuse of N95 respirators in the COVID-19 emergency Document date: 2020_4_16
ID: gty8pxkz_2
Snippet: Here, we explored the benefits of using vaporized H 2 O 2 (VHP) treatment of N95 respirators for emergency decontamination and reuse to alleviate PPE shortages for healthcare workers in the COVID-19 emergency. The factors that are considered for the effective reuse of these respirators are the fit, the filter efficiency and the decontamination/disinfection level for SARS-CoV-2, which is the causative virus for COVID-19 and other organisms of conc.....
Document: Here, we explored the benefits of using vaporized H 2 O 2 (VHP) treatment of N95 respirators for emergency decontamination and reuse to alleviate PPE shortages for healthcare workers in the COVID-19 emergency. The factors that are considered for the effective reuse of these respirators are the fit, the filter efficiency and the decontamination/disinfection level for SARS-CoV-2, which is the causative virus for COVID-19 and other organisms of concern in the hospital environment such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Clostridium difficile.
