Peroxide disinfection method and devices therefor.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of disinfecting a hydrogen peroxide stable material by contacting said material with a hydrogen peroxide containing solution and a hydrogen peroxide decomposition means adapted to permit said material to have a longer exposure at higher concentrations than previously afforded by conventional peroxide disinfectant systems. This is achieved by utilizing a hydrogen peroxide decomposition means which permits the material to be disinfected such as to have a cumulative (% peroxide).(min) exposure from the time the decomposition means contacts the hydrogen peroxide containing solution over a period not exceeding 12 hours of at least 20% peroxide.min. Also disclosed are devices and components whereby said method can be achieved. <IMAGE>
