In following FDA’s Enforcement Policy during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency CPAC has repurposed their RapidHeatâ„¢ High-Velocity Hot Air (HVHA) Sterilizer to reprocess N95 Respirator masks. Published reports and peer-reviewed literature have demonstrated that dry heat processing is the preferred method for assuring both viral inactivation and N95 respirator performance in order to achieve the optimum number of reuses.
The features of the RH-N95 Decontamination System:
• Low Temperature @ 155°F
• 30-Minute Cycles
• No Chemicals or Steam
• No Dry Cycle or Aeration
• Energy Efficient
• Easy Touch Screen Operation
Dr. Nelson Slavik, Senior Microbiologist of CPAC has prepared a comprehensive report on the research of N95 Respirator Decontamination and the use of CPAC’s RapidHeat RH-N95 HVHA Technology.
