How the Battelle CCDS Critical Care Decontamination System addresses the current shortage of critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) across the United States.
The Battelle Critical Care Decontamination System (CCDS) is now operating at Battelle’s West Jefferson, Ohio facility under the EUA and is capable of decontaminating up to 80,000 respirator masks per system each day using concentrated, vapor phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP). The respirator masks are exposed to the validated concentration level for 2.5 hours to decontaminate biological contaminates, including SARS-CoV-2. Battelle CCDS can decontaminate the same respirator mask up to 20 times without degrading the mask’s performance.
