Initial Efficacy Testing of Autoclaves

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a qualified vendor to perform Initial Efficacy Testing (IET) on each autoclave model used for the on-site treatment of infectious waste at Argonne National Laboratory. The objective of the IETs is to verify and document that each autoclave effectively renders infectious waste non-infectious, thereby ensuring its safe disposal. Additionally, the results of the IETs will be used to establish validated operating parameters for the ongoing treatment of infectious waste.
