NSTDA delivers 4 innovations for disinfection – prevention – disease screening Responding to the new wave of COVID-19
(13 Jan. 64) at the Thailand Science Park: Dr. Narong Sirilertworakul Director of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) revealed that NSTDA has accelerated the development of research and innovation in collaboration with allied agencies in both the public and private sectors to help slow down the epidemic of COVID. -19 continuously
For this new wave of COVID-19 outbreaks, NSTDA has brought 4 research and innovation works covering both prevention Reducing the spread and killing germs Including screening and early diagnosis, delivered to agencies at risk and in need of the 4 innovations that have been delivered are:
1. Girm Zaber UV-C Sterilizer. Used to kill germs in hospitals or places at risk. Helps reduce chemical residue. And the use of disinfectant spray Research results developed by Technology Center for National Security and Commercial Applications NSTDA has delivered 6 Girm Zaber Stations to various units, namely Rayong Hospital, 2 units of the Animal Laboratory Center. Faculty of Veterinary Science Chulalongkorn University, 1 device and Samut Sakhon Province Which is in the 5th health zone, the Ministry of Public Health, 3 devices (BMF Innotech Company Limited, the recipient of the joint technology transferring 1 device)
The Girm Zaber Station disinfectant works using ultraviolet rays at a wavelength of 254 nm, which is highly effective in removing mold. Bacteria And the virus causing COVID-19 can eliminate pathogens on the surface of medical equipment Electronic device Including viruses in airborne droplets For the method of use, must be used in a closed area. (No living things, such as humans, animals, plants) take 5-15 minutes to get rid of germs on average each point reduces cleaning time. Reduce operator risk And reduce the cost of using disinfectants. Girm Zaber Station has been tested by the Institute of Biotechnology and Genetics Engineering. Chulalongkorn University And passed the Lighting standard (TIS 1955 / EN55015) test from the Electrical and Electronic Product Testing Center (PTEC)
2. Products antiseptic Benzion (Benzion) Zinc ion virus and bacterial disinfectants That comes from the extension of technology from the National Center for Nanotechnology (Nanotech) NSTDA under a research project “The development of zinc ion production process for inhibiting bacteria” in collaboration with the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech) NSTDA, the research team led mineral supplements such as Zinc (Zinc) by Normally has properties to kill pathogenic microorganisms To increase efficiency to work better with the addition of chelates and stabilizers.Unisil Group Co., Ltd., a technology transfer company and manufacturer, delivered 64 gallons of benzion product to Rayong Hospital, 10 gallons, province. Samut Sakhon Which is in the health zone 5, Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) 50 gallons, Mae Ramat Hospital, Tak Province 2 gallons and Umphang Hospital, Tak Province 2 gallons
3.Safie Plus high performance mask Researched and developed by Facility Technology and Medical Device Research Center (A-MED), in collaboration with NSTDA’s Center for Metals and Materials Technology, is produced by a private manufacturer that has been certified according to ISO 13485 for the manufacture of masks.
NSTDA currently supplies 160,000 Safie Plus masks to various agencies. To prevent the spread of disease, including Samut Sakhon Province Which is in the health zone 5, Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) 100,000 pieces, Mae Ramat Hospital, Tak Province 5,000 pieces, Ban Phaeo Hospital Samut Sakhon Province 10,000 pieces Songkhla Hospital And Hat Yai Hospital, Songkhla Province 25,000 pieces, Umphang Hospital, Tak Province 5,000 pieces, Phra Pokklao Hospital Chanthaburi province 5,000 pieces and Rayong hospital 10,000 pieces.
The special feature of the Cefi Plus mask is that it has a thickness of 4 layers. The filter layer is developed with hydroxyapatite and titanium coating technology on natural fibers. Which has the ability to trap dust with small particles and microorganisms This prevents PM2.5 dust and eliminates microbes, viruses and bacteria when exposed to sunlight. Cephee Plus is designed to fit the face. It is easy to breathe, making it possible to wear for a long time. More importantly, the Zephi Plus face mask has passed the test for dust filtration efficiency of PM2.5 at 99% according to the ASTM F2299 standard from T ประเทศV SÜD, Singapore. And passed the viral filtration efficiency (VFE) test at 99% from Nelson Laboratory, USA, and passed the H1N1 (Influenza A Virus) sterilization test by Mahidol University.
Director of NSTDA said that in the field of diagnosis, NSTDA has brought the research results that 4. BodiiRay S (Digital Chest Radiography) Chest Radiography Digital X-ray system developed by the medical imaging system research team Center for Facility Technology and Medical Devices (A-MED), which can be used to diagnose pneumonia. And passed electrical and radiation safety standards Delivered and installed at a field hospital In the care of Ban Phaeo Hospital Samut Sakhon Province: 1 device to assist public health officials and medical personnel to use for early diagnosis and screening of lung disease
For digital chest X-ray machine The machine contains an X-ray source. Digital radiation scene X-ray photo management and storage software X-ray setting and control software And digital X-ray image processing and display software (RadiiView software) that can be connected to the Medical Imaging Communication System (PACS) can display X-ray images immediately. Making it support a wide variety of applications And can be adjusted according to the needs of the user. More importantly, images are sharp with BodiiRay’s image processing software. Making it better for doctors to diagnose disease
