Objective.New technologies have emerged in recent years for the disinfection of hospital rooms and equipment that may not be disinfected adequately using conventional methods. There are several hydrogen peroxide–based area decontamination technologies on the market, but no head-to-head studies have been performed.Design.We conducted a head-to-head in vitro comparison of a hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) system (Bioquell) and an aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP) system (Sterinis).Setting.The tests were conducted in a purpose-built 136-m3test room.Methods.One HPV generator and 2 aHP machines were used, following recommendations of the manufacturers. Three repeated tests were performed for each system. The microbiological efficacy of the 2 systems was tested using 6-log Tyvek-pouchedGeobacillus stearo-thermophilusbiological indicators (BIs). The indicators were placed at 20 locations in the first test and 14 locations in the subsequent 2 tests for each system.Results.All BIs were inactivated for the 3 HPV tests, compared with only 10% in the first aHP test and 79% in the other 2 aHP tests. The peak hydrogen peroxide concentration was 338 ppm for HPV and 160 ppm for aHP. The total cycle time (including aeration) was 3 and 3.5 hours for the 3 HPV tests and the 3 aHP tests, respectively. Monitoring around the perimeter of the enclosure with a handheld sensor during tests of both systems did not identify leakage.Conclusion.One HPV generator was more effective than 2 aHP machines for the inactivation ofG. stearothermophilusBIs, and cycle times were faster for the HPV system.

Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor

Surface effects in the reactions of dissociated hydrogen–oxygen systems and the products condensed therefrom have been investigated. Water vapor at about 0.1 Torr was streamed at high velocity through an electrodeless discharge confined in tubes of different materials or with various surface coatings. In all cases the products trapped in liquid nitrogen evolved oxygen gas on warming, but the relative amounts varied considerably from one type of surface to another. In some cases there was clear evidence that the walls of discharge tube were attacked by hydrogen atom bombardment. The decomposition, both thermal and electrical, of pure hydrogen peroxide vapor was studied likewise. The pyrolysis products gave off very little oxygen on warming. By contrast the products from electrical decomposition, even at low power level, evolved much oxygen, most of it above the melting point.It is concluded that there is always some decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the trapped products. However, this does not seem sufficient to account for all the evolved oxygen; at least not in the case of dissociated water vapor.
