Mechanisms of Sporicidal Activity Induced by Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide in the Spores of .

Ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP) is a new technology used for the decontamination of surfaces or laboratory areas. It utilizes a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HO) mixed with air and ionized through a cold plasma arc. This technology generates reactive oxygen species as a means of decontamination.

Determining the Effectiveness of Decontamination with Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide.

Introduction: Ionized Hydrogen Peroxide (iHP) is a new technology used for the decontamination of surfaces or laboratory areas. It utilizes a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HO) mixed with air and ionized through a cold plasma arc. This technology generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a means of decontamination.

Multicycle Autoclave Decontamination of N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators.

Introduction: During pandemic situations like the one caused by the emergent coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, healthcare systems face the challenge of limited personal protective equipment and impaired supply chains. This problem poses a threat to healthcare workers, first responders, and the public, which demands solutions that can span the gap between institutional shortages and resupplies.

Objectives: To examine the efficacy of autoclave-based decontamination for the reuse of single-use surgical masks and N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs).
