Laboratory Test 1

Institute for Medical Research

At 600ppm of Trioxide fumigation, left no detectable microorganism remaining. We concluded that microorganisms were thoroughly eliminated.

Laboratory Test 2

Faculty of Medicine and Health Science

  • Procedure
    Level 1
    – At the sterilizing chamber before the filter
    – Determine external air quality before sterilization
    Level 2
    – At the sterilizing chamber after the filter
    – Determine the effectiveness of OBESS after sterilization
    Level 3 ( External Air Quality Check Point)
    – At the neutralizing chamber mixing of external air
    – Determine external air quality after sterilization

    • Collect Air Sample at all levels for 10 minutes & 60 minutes.
      (To determine the amount of microorganisms in the air for comparison purpose)
    • Treatment started after collection of air sample had completed.
    • Retake air sample at L3 at last 10 min before sterilization cycle process complete. (To determine External Air Quality)
  • Operations
    a. Extract contaminated air for 10 min or 60 min as sampling volume
    b. Extract contaminated air for 60 min /120min /180 min /240min (different day) for sterilizing treatment.
    c. Sterilize the extracted air by Trioxide gas at 8,800ppm for 10 min.
    d. Retrieved Trioxide gas and convert to Oxygen at the end of the output.
  • Microbial Analysis Method
    a. Aerobic cultivation (incubation) within 3 days at 37°C.
    b. Fungus incubation within 5 days at 30°C.
    c. Total plate count by colony forming unit (cfu/plate). (Colony Forming Unit)

Results

 

  1. All microorganism were diminished at level 1, the sterilizing chamber.
  2. At level 2, indicated that microorganism were successfully eliminated at sterilizing chamber.
  3. At level 3, indicated  that the external air was still filled with microorganism and needed to be carried out further sterilizing process.
