BARRE, Vt., April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- iDRY Systems, the
leader in vacuum drying technology, is retrofitting its drying
technology to address the growing demand for sterilized N95 masks
due to the recent shortage of products available to protect against
exposure to coronavirus. Recent studies and reports show the
growing need for reusing masks, and iDRY may be a solution for
first responders, hospitals, and essential businesses.
Research conducted on the effects of heat to kill the
coronavirus on N95 masks suggests that the iDRY technology, which
can heat thousands of masks in hours, may be an effective tool to
help essential workers.
Jim Parker, president of the
family run iDRY Systems, wants a way to contribute solutions during
this time and knows his technology could help with the introduction
of the iDRY and Sterilize product line. There is a clear shortage
of N95 masks and other personal protective equipment that needs to
be addressed. The CDC is now saying "FFR (filtering facepiece
respirator) decontamination and reuse may need to be considered as
a crisis capacity strategy to ensure continued availability."
iDRY and Sterilize is neither approved by the FDA nor recognized
by the CDC. Jim Parker adds, "As an
entrepreneur and owner of a small business, I admit I don't have
all the answers. However, I do know that our technology can reach
the recommended heat and time that experts are saying is needed to
kill coronavirus on the masks that our healthcare workers need to
save lives. We hope our technology can help provide more healthcare
workers with clean masks and have a positive impact on the
containment of this virus."
iDRY is looking for partners and collaborators from the
scientific community, health systems, and state or federal
governments to make this technology available.
