VPHP Microbiodecontamination

Technology used to decontaminate the exposed, internal surfaces within a sealed isolator and the exposed, external surfaces of materials and components placed within the sealed isolator. It consists of four distinctive phases:

1. Dehumidification – Lowers humidity and increases temperature

2. Conditioning – “Ramp-up” (VPHP) at or below saturation conditions

3. Sterilization – Steady-State (VPHP) at or below saturation conditions

4. Aeration – Reduces the VPHP to Safe Levels
