Description

Actively involved in air filtraton systems design, including design and construction of clean rooms, and containment facilities and the testing of those facilities for 25 years. Served on the Subgroup to write the ANSI/ASME N510-1980 Standard tor "Testing of Nuclear Air-Cleaning Devices". Acted as a committee member in the Contamination Control Standards and Practices Program for the IEST contributing to the Standards for HEPA Filters, Adsorber Cells and Clean Room Construction. Participated on the design team in the design of the Cancer Center Isolation Facility at Duke University (P2* and P4). Charter member of the American Biological Safety Association, and recognized as a Registered Biosafety Professional. Has authored two chapters in the "Anthology of Biosafety" series on BL3+ Laboratories published by the American Biological Safety Association.CERTEK, Inc. was formed in 1977 to manufacture a patented formaldehyde generator/neutralizer, patent number 4,241,020. The generator/neutralizer depolymerizes paraformaldehyde, a solid, into a gas and inserts it into an enclosed airtight space. After a user specified period of time, a neutralizing gas is inserted. Thousands of the Model 1414 have been produced and used successfully since that time in most Medical and Biomedical research facilities in North America as well as other countries throughout the world. At the request of some of the users, additional models have been developed for larger spaces utilizing the operating parameters established with the Model 1414RH. Major agencies, such as the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Animal Disease Center, as well as agencies of the Government of Canada use these instruments. The instrument are used to decontaminate the enclosed spaces, but CERTEK makes no warranty whatsoever concerning decontamination. The user is advised to use "test" strips to ascertain the desired results. (See warranty statement in the brochure that describes the generators in detail.)In 1997, a patent was issued for ultra high efficiency particulate and vapor phase filter system for use in containment applications in areas where hazardous substances could be exhausted to the environment. This system has been named SAFEMOD and is enjoying success in this market. Due to the necessity of "scanning" the installed filter system, SAFESCAN was added in 2002. This product has been welcomed in the Biomedical industry and has been specified for many laboratories.
