RBDS for Biomedical





Unwanted contamination spikes caused by maintenance works, contaminated consumables or even breaches in personal protective equipment can cause huge disruption to long term projects. Parvovirus or Adenovirus can be especially problematic whilst Aspergillus, liberated from building work, is especially dangerous for immuno-suppressed subjects. In some instances it is possible to contain an outbreak, but whether it is a small area or an entire building, RBDS is able to provide a solution which will minimise disruption.

Decontamination (either at the end of a campaign or after maintenance work) can prove difficult and disruptive when using traditional methods.

RBDS offers several distinct advantages:-

Speed

300m3 room in 2 hours or less
8,000m3 within 12 hours
Emergency response
Cost savings due to decreased downtime
Reduced risk of increased ammonia levels in surrounding areas

Efficacy

Excellent efficacy data
Effective against Spores, Parvovirus & Adenovirus
Residue-free’
Small D-values / action times

Safety

Non-carcinogenic
Low toxicity
Over 10,000 rooms decontaminated worldwide with no health and safety issues
Real-time system control
Decontaminate rooms whilst the rest of building is occupied

Service

No equipment purchase
No maintenance / training costs
Flexible service to fit requirements
Operated by highly trained engineers


Unique Self Sanitising Equipment:

Whilst unorthodox, the design philosophy for all patented RBDS equipment is based around minimising cross contamination rather than aesthetics. As all of our equipment goes inside the decontamination area (giving better gas distribution) the design must ensure that there are no covers, or crevices, which could trap organisms. Therefore all components, including the sensitive onboard electronics, are exposed to a full 6-log decontamination every time the equipment is used. With over 10,000 rooms decontaminated by RBDS, it proves yet again excellent material compatibility.


Process Verification:

BIOQUELL are able to offer advice and also references on biological efficacy from a broad overview to detailed analysis on particular organisms. Whilst swabbing, contact /settle plates and air sampling are all valid methods of detecting contamination (and have all been used to show the effectiveness of our service) a more consistent challenge is required. Therefore RBDS uses independantly enumerated biological indicators consisting of 6-log Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores on a stainless steel coupon.
