N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirator Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation

The authors describe Nebraska Medicine’s evidence-based procedure to decontaminate N95 filtering facepiece respirators via ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to enable their re-use and extend the institution’s stockpile. The document includes a diagram depicting the room setup where UVGI takes place, a process map detailing the decontamination steps, roles and responsibilities, and an appendix with photos depicting the process.
