## Notice

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) is seeking to develop a new approach towards the cleaning of Aseptic Suites and their Clean Rooms. NWSSP has identified the requirement to purchase Enzyme Indicator technology to enable the measurement of the "Kill Rate" within an Aseptic Suite that is also compatible using iHP gassing methods.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Enzyme Indicators contain an enzyme that has a high tolerance to high temperatures and oxidising agents, and after a gassing cycle has been conducted, the rate at which the enzyme has denatured is measured, thus proving a measure of the Kill Rate, and therefore the cleanliness of the Aseptic Suite. Enzyme Indicators will be used as part of a new gassing method for cleaning the Aseptic Medicines Manufacturing suite at the CIVAS@IP5 facility. Enzyme Indicators are required to verify that the gassing cycle, using ionised Hydrogen Peroxide, has been successful in killing microorganisms. In addition, Enzyme Indicators provide a result within minutes, resulting in far less downtime for the Aseptic Suite. Furthermore, Enzyme Indicators provide a rate of denaturing on a logarithmic scale, allowing for Quality Assurance levels to be set for each grade of Clean Room.
