Decontamination

Inspire Community Trust provides a specialist collection service for contaminated community equipment, ensuring items are safely retrieved, transported, and prepared for thorough decontamination. This supports quicker turnaround times, reduces equipment loss, and maintains the highest standards of community care.

When items arrive, our technicians carry out a structured visual and functional check to identify damage, contamination, or missing components. Each item is then securely logged into our asset‑tracking system, creating a clear audit trail that records condition, serial numbers, and required actions. This ensures full accountability, accurate stock management, and a safe, compliant workflow from the very start.

This is the essential mid‑stage hygiene process where community equipment is thoroughly cleaned to remove visible dirt, surface contamination, and everyday residue. Using approved detergents and infection‑control methods, our technicians ensure every item is wiped down, dried, and prepared for deeper decontamination or inspection. This step maintains safety, protects service users, and supports a consistent, high‑quality equipment turnaround.

Studies demonstrate that less than 50% of surfaces in patient care rooms are being adequately cleaned because of inadequacies in traditional cleaning/disinfection methods and procedures.
FDDC can be applied to any room settings and achieve complete disinfection of entire rooms, contaminated with unwanted pathogens.

Ozone is created in-situ using only electricity and oxygen from the ambient air. Meanwhile, atomized water is diffused to increase relative humidity. This activated gaseous mist is distributed to the whole room, using a powerful built-in fan.

The disinfection phase of the FDDC keeps the concentration of ozone and relative humidity constant until the appropriate contact time have been reached. FDDC can achieve up to 99,99999% reduction of microorganisms and can be implemented to achieve disinfection or sterilization.

Once the disinfection is accomplished, the process is reverted and the ozone is turned back into pure oxygen, removing all remaining ozone.
All gaseous or UV solutions are based on oxidative compounds. While having a biocidal effect, they also react with other molecules. This will create particles and Nano-particles which are potentially harmful. The FDDC is the only technology that applies a full air purification process after biological disinfection. It removes all the remaining oxidant gases as well as the harmful by-products. This provides for re-entering the room shortly after the disinfection cycle is complete. 

After the FDDC treatment, the room is STERISAFED. It is free of pathogens, chemicals, by-products and particle. It is biologically and chemically safe.

STERISAFE’s sensor and monitoring technology constantly feeds useful data to our users. Our cloud-based platform; STERISAFE STRATOS allows users of any STERISAFE solution to constantly monitor and validate their disinfection processes automatically. After each Full-Depth Disinfection Cycle, a disinfection report is automatically generated and made available on the STRATOS platform, but can also be downloaded and sent to stakeholders during and after the disinfection process.

The biocidal efficacy of the FDDC technology has been validated and documented by independent third-party laboratories, following the industry standards and norms.

The final stage, ensures clean, safe, fully processed equipment is returned to the active inventory and ready for immediate reuse. Once items pass all checks, they are logged back into the asset‑tracking system, placed in the correct storage location, and made available for rapid dispatch. This step closes the loop of the equipment pathway, supporting strong stock availability, faster turnaround, and a reliable, efficient service.
