With the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals in Canada and around the world have been forced to consider conservation strategies to ensure continued availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) for healthcare providers. To mitigate critical PPE shortages, Sinai Health System (Sinai Health), a large academic healthcare institution in Canada, has developed and operationalized a standard operating procedure for the collection, decontamination and reuse of N95 respirators and other single-use PPE using a vaporized hydrogen peroxide decontamination method. Sinai Health has incorporated stringent quality assurance steps to ensure that the N95 respirators are successfully decontaminated without deformation and are safe to use.
随着 COVID-19 大流行在全球范围内的爆发，加拿大和世界各地的医院被迫考虑采取节约策略，以确保医护人员持续获得个人防护设备 (PPE)。为了缓解关键的 PPE 短缺问题，加拿大大型学术医疗机构西奈山卫生系统 (Sinai Health) 已制定并实施了一项标准操作程序，用于使用汽化过氧化氢消毒方法收集、消毒和重复使用 N95 呼吸器和其他一次性 PPE。西奈山卫生系统已纳入严格的质量保证措施，以确保 N95 呼吸器成功消毒而不变形，并安全使用。
