STERIS Corporation of Mentor, Ohio is reporting that its new VaproSure™ Room Sterilizer has been shipped to a first hospital in the US: Lake Hospital System in Northeast Ohio.
The sterilizer works though a proprietary dry vapor technology:
The VaproSure Room Sterilizer utilizes Vaprox® Sterilant (EPA Registration No. 58779-4) to create a dry sterilization vapor that inactivates the full spectrum of biological contaminates on dry, pre-cleaned, exposed, porous and non-porous surfaces within a sealed hospital room. The chemistry is recognized as sporicidal, bacteriacidal, fungicidal and virucidal. Additionally, the technology is environmentally friendly, reducing to water vapor and oxygen at the conclusion of the cycle.
