Bioquell’s unique Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor technology is an automated solution utilzing Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant (EPA Registration Number: 72372-1-86703).
A sterilant kills microbial life in the inanimate environment, including all forms of vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi, and viruses per the code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Chapter I Subchapter E Part 158 Subpart W § 158.2203.
Quickly prep the room for decontamination: vents sealed, linens removed, and cabinets and drawers opened. After placing the system and aeration units in the room. Close and seal the door upon exiting.
Just press the green button to start the automated process. The Bioquell BQ-50 warms up and emits vapor onto exposed surfaces, including in any adjacent bathrooms, sluices, store rooms etc.
Once vaporization begins, the user checks the door to the room to ensure no leaks occur with the included handheld monitor. Leaks are rare as our process is not a pressurized one, and can be covered simply with Bioquell adhesive tape.
With vaporization now complete, the enclosed area is at a standstill, allowing the peroxide to dwell on exposed surfaces.
Aeration units kick on automatically to convert the Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor into water vapor and oxygen, leaving no further cleanup required - once measured, the room is then safe for immediate patient reoccupation.
Bioquell’s Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor systems and services create a 6-log kill sporicidal with our 35% hydrogen peroxide solution (Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant (EPA Registration Number: 72372-1-86703). The process provides coverage on exposed surfaces while requiring no post-cycle cleaning and is safe on sensitive electronics.
By using a Bioquell system or service, you achieve repeatable, surface decontamination that can be validated and/or verified. You can also ensure compliance to regulations. We are Biocidal Products Regulation compliant and EPA registered as a sterilant.
