Decontamination of Interior of Field Tent Employed Geobacillus stearothermophilus Spores using a Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor System

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the suitability of hydrogen peroxide(H 2 O 2 ) vapor system for platform interior decontamination. Geobacillus stearothermophilus biological indicator(BI) strips and a field tent were used as a biological simulant and as a simulated platform, respectively. Decontamination was performed based on injection rates and tent sizes with exposure time 60 minutes. We standardized the conditions for the field tent
