C.O.C Farmaceutici and Amira: an effective partnership for VHP bio-decontamination solutions

Combo, the tailor-made solution proposed by Amira for VHP bio-decontamination of complex environments with fast and effective cycles, enabled C.O.C Farmaceutici to upgrade its microbiological contamination control systems and achieve greater efficiency while limiting business interruptions. Need: Following the introduction of Annex 1, C.O.C. Farmaceutici faced the need to upgrade its facilities, including the bio-decontamination […]

BSC bio-decontamination: why V-PHP is a winning technology

Biological safety cabinets, also called biohazard hoods or BSC, are designed to protect the operator and environment from potential biological contamination. In fact, it is considered a collective protective device. Reading this article, you can find out why and when it is essential to bio-decontaminate them and why VHP technology is the winning choice among […]

IBI chose Easypass for flexible and innovative bio-decontamination

IBI (Istituto Biochimico Italiano G. Lorenzini Spa), a company that has been producing and selling injectable products all over the world for 100 years, chose Easypass for flexible and innovative bio-decontamination. The new solution proposed by Amira helps simplifying bio-decontamination and material transfer from/to cleanrooms. The project: Implementing sterility control rooms on the same floor […]

RABS and isolator: VHP bio-decontamination to meet Annex 1 requirements

VHP biodecontamination in pharma industry Vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (V-PHP or VHP) bio-decontamination is a process of surface sterilization that has been extensively validated and used in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. In fact, VHP is one of the most commonly used sporicidal agents for bio-decontamination of cleanrooms, isolators, RABS and other controlled environments. Biodecontamination […]

Contamination control in isolator: interactive experience at Humanitas University Simulation Center

Contamination control is a crucial element in the preparation of antiblastic drugs. Constant and continuous monitoring of particulates, airborne microbial load and any environmental parameter that may influence the quality of sterile product are imperative to protect patient safety. Attending the course ‘The Future in antiblastic drug units‘ scheduled at the Simulation Center – Humanitas […]

VHP bio-decontamination: find out how to meet new Annex 1 at Rigel Academy event

VHP bio-decontamination, using vapor-phase hydrogen peroxide (V-PHP) as a cold sterilizing agent, allows to eliminate a broad spectrum of micro-organisms achieving 6 Log reduction (same level as sterilization) and reaching all exposed surfaces with a perfectly uniform gas distribution. What a better ally for sterile drug manufacturers who have to meet different Annex 1 requirements […]

Distribution challenge in H2O2 bio-decontamination cycle

Regardless of the application, the size of the enclosure or the environment conditions, every H2O2 bio-decontamination cycle must deal with a geometrical problem. In fact, the decontamination agent is always released into the area somewhere in the space, but it must reach every corner of the enclosure to be treated for a successful H2O2 bio-decontamination […]
