Healthcare, ICU, Theatre Decontamination and Testing

Healthcare/ICU/Theatre Decontamination

Healthcare professionals know the importance of a clean and sterile environment. Biosafety Pty Ltd offers many Healthcare Hygiene advantages for Medical Centres and Healthcare Facilities. We offer a multitude of services including our gaseous CD, the most effective way to decontaminate isolators, procedure rooms, and pass-throughs. Our CD sterilizers will effectively replace Ethylene Oxide (EtO) in many instances with an ambient temperature, highly effective sterilant gas that has exceptional process monitoring and control.  Chlorine dioxide gas is effective against MRSA and VRE among a wide variety of other common organisms found in hospitals, ambulances, and other healthcare facilities.

Single room to entire facility decontamination

Service decontaminations are also available to facilities that require either one-time or routine decontaminations as well. Applications range from single rooms of any size to entire facilities, including HVAC ductwork and equipment, HEPA filter decontamination and NATA testing of ICU/OT Performance to DHHS Guidelines.

The right method for the best results

Hospital acquired infections (HAIs) and contamination control in the healthcare industry is a constant and prevalent problem and Biosafety offers many different techniques such as Chlorine Dioxide (CD) and Ultraviolet (UV) light products and services to enhance your facility's infection prevention program and provide solutions to these problems. Our suite of products is gentle on materials and is the safest and most effective way to decontaminate your operating and patient rooms, isolators, ductwork and biological safety cabinets.

We are also effective at remediating and removing Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Clostridium difficile (C. diff) contaminations, three of the most common organisms affecting the healthcare industry.​

1. Pressure Differential Testing and gauge check 

2. Airflow Direction Testing (Door Open) 

3. Operational Directional Airflow Testing 

4. AIr Flow Visualization testing 

5. Air Changes per Hour (ACH) 

6. Supply and Exhaust Air Volumes 

7. Thermal Comfort/Indoor Air Quality Testing 

8. Supply and Exhaust HEPA Integrity Testing to AS 1807.6/7 (where fitted) 

9. Room Recovery Rates 

10. Full Test reports and recommendations 

11. Safety equipment audit safety showers, eye wash, hand basins etc

Aligned with ISO 17025, AS 1807 and Department of Health ICU/OT Guidelines (2007).
