Core2Clean System Introduction For years, pharmaceutical and biotechnology operations have utilized a variety of interrelated methodologies to control contamination in their controlled environments. In review of regulatory guidelines and assuring an acceptable environment to manufacture one s product, one must be able to address known contamination with a documented control and cleaning regime that has been proven effective. Within the scope of validation studies, the control system begins with confirming disinfecting agents with one s environmental isolates through either time contact kill studies (tube or surface carriers) or by AOAC Use Dilution 10 or 60 carrier testing. Deriving an environmental isolates list from environmental monitoring programs nets the ability to prove in a laboratory study the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of one s chosen chemical agents against such organisms. Once complete, we combine the knowledge from our antimicrobial effectiveness studies and our cleaning SOP s and conduct an in situ or field study. This allows us to evaluate the chemical agent together with our cleaning SOP s in a test scenario. However, once we leave the validation study scenario, we are confronted with the complex situation of implementing what we have proven as acceptable in our operations. Maintaining a system that is meaningful, manageable and defendable becomes complex in production areas as we encounter a multitude of variables. To date mops with buckets, sprayers and foggers have all been utilized in varying capacities. Introduction of these many components to the controlled environment warrants concern. With the same concern we have learned that an effective and simplistic system nets success. Addressing a simplistic and simple system requires understanding that one needs to saturate and penetrate the cell wall of an organism over a specified contact time with a chemical agent capable of destroying the cell. Thus application becomes the keystone to our success. The Core2Clean Plus Systems were invented by to address this requirement. Sometimes one needs to spray, sometimes to mop and at times a fogger needs to be utilized. The Core2Clean Systems incorporate all three in one. The systems incorporate a trigger activated sprayer, a trigger activated sponge mop and a fogger all in one unit. The key elements of the systems are the capability to present a sufficient amount of liquid to the surface and the capability of reducing cleaning time by nearly 50%. Introduction of all the items required to clean and disinfect an area are done at once as the entire unit can be autoclaved prior to entry. With this in mind, the Core2Clean Systems provide a simple mechanism to assure cleaning and disinfection is done in an effective and efficient manner.

The Core2Clean Systems were designed to address the application of cleaning and disinfecting agents to the surface in a meaningful and manageable methodology. The Core2Clean Systems have been specifically designed for by pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare facilities in their controlled environments. For years, the use of a conventional bucket and a mop or pad has been used to provide application of the chemical agent to the surfaces in controlled areas. In addition to mops/pad and buckets, facilities also incorporated a sprayer and a fogger within their cleaning and disinfecting operations. The Core2Clean Systems eliminate the need for a multitude of components and incorporate them within one device. Core2Clean System Features 1 2 3 4 5 6 The Core2Clean Systems are made of 316 stainless steel. The Core2Clean Systems can be steam sterilized eliminating the concern for introduction of viable contamination to the controlled environment from the components themselves. The Core2Clean Systems is compressed air operated (ASME rated to 100 psi and CE Marked). This provides the ability to dispense a continuous flow of a clean solution to the surface. Continuously providing a clean solution to the surface reduces cleaning time and end user effort. The Core2Clean Systems eliminate concerns of changing dirtied cleaning solution. This eliminates the need to discard dirtied solutions and reduces the volume of cleaning agents required to address surfaces annually. The Core2Clean Systems incorporate a trigger activated dispensing mop, a sprayer and a fogger all in one unit. The Core2Clean Systems present a sufficient wetting of the surface unavailable from other mopping systems. Increasing the time period the surface remains wet is essential to assuring efficacy performance of disinfecting agents. The Core2Clean Systems can reduce cleaning time by 50% and is easily moved from area to area by a 4-wheel caster dolly that can be removed and cleaned. The Core2Clean Systems utilize quick disconnects to attach the mop, sprayer and fogger. The Core2Clean Systems are user friendly and simplify cleaning and disinfecting procedures.

Introduction of the chemical agent is done through a top port opening. The units include all listed below and a stainless steel dolly with stainless steel casters. This system provides easy movement throughout the production facility. Core2Clean Mop System MOP The Core2Clean Mop System connects into the top the C2C-102P (two gallon tank) or C2C-105P (five gallon tank) described above. The Core2Clean Mop System provides a 3-6 ft. extendable handle that incorporates a trigger that is depressed to dispense the liquid from the end of the foam mop end. Powered by a compressed air line the C2C-102P or C2C-105P tanks can be autoclaved at 121 o C. Introduction of the disinfecting agents are done through a top port opening. This system provides easy movement throughout the production facility. Core2Clean Fog System FOG The Core2Clean Fog System connects into the top of the C2C-102P (two gallon tank) or C2C-105P (five gallon tank) described above. The Core2Clean Fog System precipitates varying droplet sizes from 5-50 microns. Powered by a compressed air line the C2C- 102P or C2C-105P tanks can be autoclaved at 121 o C.
