Fire-dex Re-Useable Isolation Garment

Reusable Isolation Gowns and Coveralls for First Responders and Healthcare Workers

In response to the COVID19 pandemic, Fire-Dex is producing AAMI Level 3- compliant isolation gowns and coveralls.

The gowns and coveralls exceed CDC guidance for COVID-19 related responses and are made with Stedair® TX L3. They are washable and highly durable to withstand the demands of front-line emergency services while offering you added barrier protection from fluids.

Because of the ability to wash and reuse, the “per use” cost makes it as affordable as its Level 1 disposable counterparts.

ISOLATION PPE LAUNDERING RESULTS

These garments have been tested to 100 wash, dry and sanitization cycles.

Water temperature 160°F (non-ionic detergent & alkali, no bleach), tumble dry 160°F 10 mins, 4 min cool-down followed by autoclave for 4min at 270-274°/F.

Washing Recommendations

• Check that there are no sharp objects within PPE which could damage the fabric
• Do not overload PPE; 75-80% of the capacity is optimal
• Use NFPA 1851 compliant laundry detergent
• Temperature should not exceed 140ºF for washing operations
• For disinfecting, use Hydrogen Peroxide (35%) in concentration of 150 ppm, OR NFPA 1851 compliant laundry sanitizer
• Make sure that you have an adequate cooling period and fold goods immediately after drying to avoid wrinkling
• Do not iron
• Do not use Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach)
• Do not use a high pressure extractor with single stage plunger as it can damage fabrics made with Stedair® TX L3
• Avoid excessive high temperature, or over-drying
