HYDROGEN PEROXIDE VAPOUR IS HAZARDOUS
-Ensure that the enclosure to be gassed is sealed to prevent hydrogen
peroxide vapour escaping.
-Ensure that any possible points of entry are sealed, locked where
possible and warning signs displayed if appropriate.
-Ensure area to be gassed is free of any humans, animals and plants.
SPILLAGES
Mop up with plenty of water and run to waste, diluting at least 20:1.
POWER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Ensure the Bioquell ProteQ system modules are connected to
appropriately rated circuits which have an earth.
COMMUNICATION CONNECTIONS
If more than one system is in operation on a site, ensure each system is
on a separate network. This can be identified by the colour of the
wireless indicator, otherwise operational interference may occur
DURING A CYCLE
-Do not enter the area being bio-decontaminated
-A suitable portable H2O2detector should be used throughout the
cycle to monitor concentrations outside the area.
-If leak is detected, leak sealing and evacuation procedures should be
followed.
AT THE END OF AERATION
Before re-entering the area check that the vapour concentration is at, or
below, the countries Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) (Long-term
exposure limit is 1ppm and short-term is 2ppm in the UK). In USA: the
Permitted Exposure Limit (PEL) has a Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of
1ppm for eight hours exposure a day.
IF THE CYCLE ABORTS DURING GASSING OR AERATION
-Check that the vapour concentration is at, or below, the OEL before
entering the enclosure
-If above the OEL, run further aeration cycles in accordance with
these instructions until the safe concentration level is reached.
EXTERNAL DISCHARGE OF VAPOUR
If a fixed ventilation system is used to exhaust, it must not allow
leakage of hydrogen peroxide vapours within the building. When the
HVAC is started, check that the room does not become heavily
pressurised, as this could cause the room sealing to become
compromised.

3VAPOUR BIO-DECONTAMINATION PROCESS
3.1 Process Sequence
The room bio-decontamination process consists of the following stages:
The ProteQ is designed to carry out the conditioning, gassing and dwell phases of
the bio-decontamination cycle. The aeration phase is performed by the lower
aeration part of the Base unit and optional aeration unit(s). Control and
monitoring of the process is performed outside the area using the lectern. The
Base unit, optional aeration units and lectern communicate with each other
wirelessly.
3.1.1 Conditioning Phase
When the system starts conditioning, the air and vaporizer heaters warm-up and
control to their set points ready for the next stage of the cycle.
During conditioning both the vaporizer and distribution fans operate, ensuring
that the hydrogen peroxide outlets reach a stable operating temperature.
Immediately after conditioning, the dosing pump is primed with hydrogen
peroxide liquid.
3.1.2 Gassing Phase
Liquid from a bottle is pumped onto the vaporizer heaters. Air then passes around
the heaters where it picks up the H2O2vapour for distribution.
The air circulation system has been designed to distribute the hot vapour evenly
throughout the room being bio-decontaminated. This system consists of fans,
which draw air from the top of the unit and blow it out of the four vents at high
velocity. An additional, internal flow path, from the distribution head down to the
base of the unit, ensures the inside of the unit is also bio-decontaminated.
There are two types of cycle parameters that can be programmed by the
operator. The first is a parametric cycle where the amount of H2O2to be used is
automatically calculated from the room volume and by the unit’s internal
instrumentation and control algorithm. The alternative is a fixed pre-validated
timed cycle.
3.1.3 Dwell Phase
The dwell phase allows the vapour to evenly distribute within the room and for
the condensation contact time to be prolonged.

The Base unit has an aerator on the lower half. In addition up to 6 optional
aeration units can be used, two of which can be transported in the ProteQ. The
building’s HVAC system can also be used to aerate. The aerators contain a
catalyst, which converts the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapour to water vapour
and oxygen. This phase continues until the hydrogen peroxide concentration
reaches 1ppm, when it should be checked with the hand held low level sensor.
Note: It is against US federal law to use a biocide in a manner inconsistent
with its labelling. Refer to and comply with Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide
sterilant labelling.

6.2 Measuring the room
If a ‘Parametric’ cycle is to be run then the room volume must be known. If this is
not already known it is recommended to use the optional device available which
will accurately measure the volume of a room, see section 18. For rooms or suites
which are more complicated than a rectangular room it may be necessary to
measure several volumes and add them together.
Ensure no objects (including paper) that might cause blockage of the
air inlet to the left and above the power switch are in the cable
storage area. See section 4.1.1.
Plug the longer power cable into the base unit, and the
other end into an earthed socket, and turn the power
on. Turn on the white switch on the Base unit above the
power connection. The light ring will illuminate. Ensure
the white switch is not obstructed, as it is the main
disconnect device.
If the ProteQ is to communicate with the building’s
systems then it may be necessary to connect the
interface cables to the voltfree / remote start stop
connectors, see Section 4.1.1.
Plug the shorter cables into the side of the aeration
units, and plug the other end into an earthed electrical
socket. Note - up to three aeration units can be
plugged into the same socket. Do not plug them into
the same socket as the Base unit if supply is 100V or
120V.
Turn on the power at the back of the aeration unit
using the white switch and after a short time the fan
will start, and the wireless indicator will illuminate.
Ensure the white switch is not obstructed, as it is the
main disconnect device.
Remove the wound power cable from the lectern, and
plug the cable into the socket at the lower rear of the
lectern. Plug into an earthed electrical socket, and turn
the power on. The screen will illuminate.

7LOADING HYDROGEN PEROXIDE BOTTLES
7.1 Bottle Indicators
The ProteQ calculates the amount of peroxide required for the cycle. If it is loaded
with an insufficient amount it will not allow the cycle to start.
The unit will always take hydrogen peroxide from a part full bottle first, until it is
empty. Either 2 litre or 950ml bottles can be used.
The table below explains the actions required for the different combinations of
bottle indicators; note - these lights only operate when the bottle holder is closed
and the plunger is down. If the lights are reversed to those shown, the action is
the same as that stated, but for the other side.
