RBDS for Pharmaceutical
In an industry where a biologically clean environment is of paramount importance in the protection of valuable production processes, RBDS offers distinct advantages over current traditional decontamination methods.
|
Does your current decontamination strategy offer 6-log Geobacillus stearothermophilus biological indicator verification every time?
- Is it efficient?
- Is it intrinsically safe?
- Does it offer worldwide continuity of procedure?
- Is it rapid, residue-free and infinitely scalable?
On top of these, RBDS has many other benefits including:
 |
|
Residue Free:
Leaving only oxygen and water vapour, which are easily carried away by air-conditioning systems, post-decontamination cleans are not required.
|
|
|
Time:
When RBDS has finished, and shown a successful process via biological indicator deactivation, the decontaminated area is ready for immediate use. A typical 100m3 room takes only 2 hours, whilst an 8,000m3 facility can be completed with only 24 hours of total facility downtime. Add to this the removal of any pre or post cleaning steps and the benefits are considerable.
|
|
|
Cost Effective:
With complicated shapes and mechanisms, the efficacy of a manual cleaning process is drastically reduced. RBDS ensures that all difficult to reach areas are fully decontaminated, achieving excellent efficacy throughout.
|
|
|
Efficacy:
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) is extremely efficacious, and with over 10,000 rooms and buildings now decontaminated by RBDS our project engineers are highly experienced. The translation? We get it right first time saving time and, of course, money.
|
|
|
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.
