Battelle Announces the Critical Care Decontamination Program

OCA members utilizing N-95 masks are encouraged to utilize the Battelle CCDS Critical Care Decontamination SystemTM, which can decontaminate the same mask up to 20 times without degrading its performance. Battelle is now operating PPE decontamination sites in Central Ohio and is offering the service at no cost. Businesses that wish to use Battelle CCDSTM will need to collect and individually label masks daily in accordance with an approved procedure, and have them couriered to Battelle’s decontamination site. The PPE will be labeled with a barcoded serial number for tracking the chain-of-custody throughout the process. Each mask will be marked with the number of times that the mask has been processed. To learn more about how to enroll in this program, please contact Battelle directly at [email protected]/N95 and by filling out the inquiry form. Additional details about the process are attached.
