Please refer to the user’s manual for your hyperbaric chamber for a list of acceptable cleaning and disinfecting agents which came with your chamber. The disinfection of acrylic monoplace chambers has proven to be problematic due to the fact that many commercial biohazard-cleaning agents contain alcohol. While alcohol is adequate to kill many pathogens, it is destructive to acrylic. Therefore, the procedure recommended here uses sodium hypochlorite (bleach) for high-level disinfection.
