متن کاملEfficacy, efficiency and safety aspects of hydrogen peroxide vapour and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide room disinfection systems.
BACKGROUND This was a head-to-head comparison of two hydrogen-peroxide-based room decontamination systems. AIM To compare the efficacy, efficiency and safety of hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV; Clarus R, Bioquell, Andover, U.K.) and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP; SR2, Sterinis, now supplied as Glosair, Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd, Wokingham, U.K.) r...
متن کاملVapor-phase hydrogen peroxide as a surface decontaminant and sterilant.
The feasibility of utilizing vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (VPHP) as a surface decontaminant and sterilant was evaluated in a centrifuge application. The prototype VPHP decontamination system, retrofitted into a Beckman L8-M ultracentrifuge, was designed to vaporize a 30% (wt/wt) solution of aqueous hydrogen peroxide continuously injecting and withdrawing VPHP in a deep-vacuum flow-through syst...
متن کاملHazards of hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen peroxide solution is commonly used for irrigating and cleaning wounds. It has some germicidal properties and may remove contaminants mechanically. When it is applied to tissues catalase causes its rapid molecular decomposition with the release of oxygen bubbles (1 ml of hydrogen peroxide 3% (10 vol) will release 10 ml oxygen).' Irrigation under pressure or into enclosed body cavities, ...
متن کاملHydrogen Peroxide in Adaptation
The perception of the roles of H 2 O 2 in living systems has come a long way, transcending from H 2 O 2 being considered as (i) exclusively damaging; (ii) a necessary evil " unwanted but an inevitable product of aerobic metabolism " ; (iii) important for specific biological processes that involve ROS aggressiveness, such as the battle of the innate immune system with pathogens; and (iv) signall...
