Introduction
Tesalys has developed a special infectious waste treatment program called the "Virus +" program in response to recent viral outbreaks such as Covid-19. This program provides double security for virus elimination by incorporating an additional pre-decontamination phase.

Specifications
The "Virus +" program includes a pre-decontamination phase at 85°C for 15 minutes, enhancing the standard sterilization cycles. It is specifically designed for Tesalys healthcare waste treatment systems, STERIPLUSTM and STERISHRED®.

System Capabilities
STERIPLUSTM systems have a capacity of up to 20 kg/h, while STERISHRED® systems can handle up to 100 kg/h. Both systems integrate shredding and steam sterilization processes.

Scientific Testing
The efficacy of the "Virus +" program has been scientifically tested using H1N1 ATTC VR1469, which has similar heat resistance properties to coronaviruses like SARS-CoV2. The program ensures inactivation of viruses during the pre-decontamination phase.

Safety Features
The program provides enhanced safety by ensuring viruses are eliminated in a sealed chamber before air filtration begins. This reduces the risk of environmental contamination and exposure to personnel.

On-Site Treatment Importance
According to WHO guidelines, treating infectious waste on-site is crucial during outbreaks to prevent further contamination and ensure safe disposal.

Conclusion
The "Virus +" program offers an advanced solution for managing healthcare waste, providing additional security and compliance with international safety standards.
