Chemical, biological, and radiological containment bag

摘要

An isolation apparatus for transporting and storing objects or human remains. The apparatus is formed of a flexible, foldable, opaque, generally box-like enclosure fabricated of a fiber reinforced plastic film, and welded together to form a sealed, air-tight and/or liquid-tight enclosure. A gas and liquid sealing zipper is positioned along three of four sides of the enclosure, thereby allowing the apparatus to open in a clamshell or suitcase-like manner, for easy access to the interior of the enclosure. An NBC and/or a CBRN filter can be mounted to the apparatus to allow for release of pressure from within the enclosure. An interior liner made of chemical protective fabric can be placed within the enclosure for additional chemical containment. This apparatus eliminates or significantly reduces the size and number of cracks, crevices and/or other voids into which contaminated materials can enter, for example by positioning, sizing and/or structuring welds to extend completely to an edge of the isolation apparatus, and/or by welding materials together entirely around one or more peripheries.

主权项

1. An isolation apparatus for transporting a contaminated object or contaminated human remains, comprising:
an opaque enclosure sealed against releasing chemical, biological, and radiological agents, and including a plurality of gas and liquid tight flexible panels each formed of a laminate including a fabric or web material between at least two film layers and sealed by gas tight and liquid tight seams, and defining a transport chamber for receiving the contaminated object or contaminated human remains, and a closable opening providing access to the transport chamber; each of the flexible panels having one or more peripheral ends, wherein for each panel the corresponding one or more peripheral ends are disposed either: all within the transport chamber, or all outside the transport chamber, whereby contaminants cannot wick through the fabric or web material from inside the transport chamber to outside the enclosure; a gas tight and liquid tight fastener closing the closable opening; and a removable interior liner disposed within the transport chamber and adapted to surround and cover the contaminated object or contaminated human remains, the interior liner comprising a carbon containing fabric that provides a chemical protective barrier between the contaminated object or contaminated human remains and at least a portion of the enclosure.
