VHP Decontamination Lock

VHP Decontamination Lock

Material airlock providing rapid H2O2 decontamination

Decontamination locks are most frequently used as a pass-through to transfer material between rooms with different classes of cleanliness (typically B and C), whereas material must be decontaminated (by means of surface sterilization) before entry into the room. Loaded materials are decontaminated using hydrogen peroxide vapour with a 6-log reduction. A hydrogen peroxide vapour generator is a part of the equipment.

Standards and Options

Standards

Chamber closing door

It is made of PMMA with a thickness of 25 mm. The door is sealed using a pneumatic seal made of silicon. The closing of the door is monitored by a sensor; another sensor monitors the mechanism which prevents the door from being opened.

VHP distribution

Distribution pipe for optimal gassing inside the chamber

Perforated shelves

4 pcs of standard perforated shelves for loaded material

Safety Features

Pressure fuse

Options

  • H2O2 concentration sensor – high – process sensor inside the chamber
