Hot Plate Method, Vapor Phase Hydrogen Peroxide, Decontamination Procedure - DT00187 - Rev B

Issue

This is the procedure to perform a Vapor Phase Hydrogen Peroxide decontamination procedure on the Bigfoot Cell Sorter and Integrated Biosafety Enclosure using a low-cost hot plate method to vaporize a small volume of hydrogen peroxide solution. There are two available Vapor Phase Hydrogen Peroxide decontamination methods available for the Bigfoot Cell Sorter. One method requires a STERIS VHP® 1000ED Biodecontamination unit that performs the conditioning, hydrogen peroxide injection, monitoring, and aeration. The STERIS procedure is DT00156 and requires the use of sealing kit PL00349. In contrast, the hot plate method uses low-cost components taped together to perform the decontamination. This method can only be used in locations where TSS (Technical Safety Services) operates (North America). The procedure detailed in this document does not require the use of the sealing kit PL00349. The TSS internal document is appended to this document. Both the standard document (pages 1-17) and the appended document are required to perform this procedure.
