New system will decontaminate N95 masks so they can be reused during coronavirus outbreak

The Washington State Department of Health reports that a disinfection system for N95 masks has been cleared and will be operational this week for hospitals.

The state has done a “dry run” cleaning exposed N95 masks, a Monday statement from the state DOH said. Battelle Critical Care Decontamination System will begin reaching out to hospitals directly.

Hospitals will send N95 masks to a system being set up at Camp Murray, close to Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Battelle’s spokesperson, Katy Delaney said.

“We are working with local health systems to collect masks for testing this week,” Delaney said.
