ClorDiSys Decontamination Services from American Instrument Exchange

American Instrument Exchange now offers ClorDiSys decontamination services for both routine and one-time events. Whether you need decontamination in response to contamination or for preventive measures in new or existing facilities, ClorDiSys's chlorine dioxide gas methodology effectively provides complete decontamination. This method requires minimal equipment and results in minimal downtime.

Moreover, this gaseous system achieves thorough distribution and penetration to all surfaces within your facility, including cracks and crevices that other methods cannot reach.

Benefits of Chlorine Dioxide
  • Safe on materials including sensitive electronics
  • Process not affected by temperature or dew point ClO2 molecule smaller than viruses, bacteria and spores
  • Naturally fills the space its contained within, contacting all surfaces evenly, including crevices deeper than microorganisms can reach
  • No measurable residue Non-carcinogenic US EPA registered as a sterilant, able to kill all viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores
  • Effective against beta lactams and pinworm eggs
Safety Features
  • Odor Detection: CD has an odor at the 8-hr OSHA safety level, so the user is self-alerted to exposure at a low level and the reliance on external sensors is not as imperative.
  • Non-Carcinogenic: Formaldehyde and ethylene oxide are known carcinogens. The ACGIH designates VPHP as an A3, Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans. Chlorine dioxide gas is not listed as a carcinogen of any kind.
  • Effective within Water: Gaseous CD is the only decontaminating fumigant that penetrates water, decontaminating both the water and the surface beneath. If liquid is present, the sterilization e­cacy of CD is not affected.
  • Widespread Use: Chlorine dioxide is used for both drinking water treatment and the sanitization of many foods.
Quality Assurance

Quality Assurance

During ClorDiSys Decontamination Services, technicians continuously take accurate gas concentration measurements from various locations within the space using a calibrated photometer. The decontamination process is only considered complete once the proper dosage has been exceeded at all sample locations.

In addition to measuring concentration, biological indicators (BIs) can effectively test the decontamination’s efficacy. These BIs consist of over 1 million bacterial spores known for their resistance to chlorine dioxide gas. Technicians place the BIs in hard-to-reach areas during decontamination. Afterward, they drop the BIs into growth media and incubate them to check for growth. After 36 hours, technicians examine the BIs; if no growth is present, the decontamination is deemed successful.

On another note, delegating repairs to an unqualified employee may exacerbate the issue. This employee may unintentionally worsen the problem or damage other process components due to their lack of expertise. Consequently, the lab must not only pay for the initial issue but also cover the additional downtime caused by new problems.

CHLORINE DIOXIDE GAS – Safety & Material Compatibility

CHLORINE DIOXIDE GAS – Safety & Material Compatibility

Chlorine dioxide gas is less corrosive than most common decontamination methods. Additionally, CD gas is compatible with electronics, epoxies, and construction materials like stainless steel.

You can utilize American Instrument Exchange and ClorDiSys decontamination services for various applications. These range from tented equipment and small chambers to entire facilities. Notably, ClorDiSys can effectively decontaminate areas over 4,000,000 ft³ (113,267 m³).

Furthermore, services can be arranged for contamination response or preventive control needs. You can schedule these services as needed or contract them for routine prevention, scheduled maintenance, or shutdown periods.

If you are facing contamination issues or need overall facility decontamination before moving in, American Instrument Exchange and ClorDiSys are here to help you.
