Controlled decontamination Sample Clauses

Controlled decontamination. Controlled decontamination means that there are proper measures in place to control the outcome of the decontamination. This can be achieved by controlling the decontamination parameters, using biological indicators and/or by environmental sampling. The control of decontamination parameters ensures that the microbes to be inactivated are exposed to sufficient doses so that they are all effectively inactivated. This means sufficient concentration and exposure times for chemicals and energies for physical methods. Biological indicators (BI) are widely used to control the efficiency of contamination. These are prepared samples containing certain biological agents added on a carrier. They are placed in the space to be cleaned and exposed to the decontamination treatment. The kill rates are calculated from the reference indicators and the exposed ones. BIs are useful aids for monitoring the efficiency of decontamination. However, it has been found that the materials on which the microbes are deposited can have a substantial impact on the inactivation so that BI carriers need to be developed specifically for the intended purpose of surface type to be decontaminated (Xxxxxxx et al., 2010). Environmental sampling includes samples taken from the air and from surfaces. For surfaces the sample location is crucial. It is necessary to sample in areas and locations which are most likely contaminated such as HVAC systems, horizontal surfaces and regions near supply air diffusers. Controlled decontamination ensures that the decontamination process does not a cause health hazard to other people. Those performing decontamination must be trained professionals and use appropriate personal protective equipment. Chemical decontamination methods can cause hazards due to the chemical residues. This must be taken into account
