WALK-IN CHAMBER EXPLAINED
2.1
System Description
The “Walk-in” bio-decontamination chamber, hereinafter referred as WIC, is for
decontamination of material loads or equipment entering or exiting controlled
areas, with floor level loading/unloading.
The WIC has two principle modes of operation:
1.
Air Clean Up cycle
2.
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour disinfection cycle
The
“Air Clean Up cycle”
provides particulate clean up to EU Grade C/B (US
Class 100,000/10,000) particle conditions (as required), via H14 grade inlet HEPA
filtration. The particulate clean up time is a validated time based on clean up from
the actual environmental conditions on the “dirty” or Classified EU Grade (US
Class) loading side to the required level, typically that of the “Clean” / production
side.
The WIC doors are interlocked so that no two doors are open at the same time
and the Clean Up is completed after loading and before the other side door can be
opened. Each time a door is closed clean up will be completed automatically
before re-entry (door opening) is possible.
The
“Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour disinfection cycle”
is an automated cycle
for disinfection of material outer surfaces.
The WIC requires a Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) Generator for material
surface bio-decontamination. The HPV Generator can be connected either room
side or in a separate technical area. The Hydrogen Peroxide supply may be
integrated into the WIC when connected to an integrated HPV Generator (IG-1).
2.2
Configurations
The WIC can be configured to client specifications:
