Introduction Super High Frequency Microwave units for the
sterilization of Infectious Medical Waste is now on offer to the
market These units have been tested at Ministry of Health, Ministry
of Defense, Federal Centre for Hygiene and Epidemiology are in use
since 2003 extensively throughout Russia and CIS. Tested for
Vegetative, Spores, Fungi, Viruses pathogens SHF MIRAGE for

Slide 4
Microwave (SHF) - how it works SHF Microwave frequency (SHF)
heating is By use of electromagnetic waves of frequency 2450 MHz.
Water molecules, present in all cells, being dipolar, try to follow
the electric field associated with the electromagnetic waves
directed on them This results in oscillations of molecules and the
resultant molecular friction causes RAPID HEATING. The ions in the
water further help in this phenomenon. MIRAGE for Environmental
Services & Waste Management
Slide 5
Application of Super High Frequency electromagnetic fields on
waste material results in: Rapid heat up of liquids and ions in the
liquid cell material of bacteria and micro organisms, Causes the
destruction of Cellular membranes Virus protein structure of all
infectious agents of the waste and what it does SHF MIRAGE for

Waste materials and Application SHF Intravenous catheters,
blood (and components) bags and associated tubing, suction tubes
etc. Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis Waste (filters, lines,
catheters, bags) Cultures, culture dishes and devices used to
transfer, inoculate, or mix cultures Surgery costumes, masks and
gloves, sponges, gowns associated with waste collection Packing

Basics of Process SHF Microwaves come out of the magnetron,
They pass through the waste being processed After numerous
reflections from the walls of the chamber Waves enter the new areas

Sterilizing of Dialysis Waste Dialysis waste contains residual
blood with Highest risk of contamination from HIV, Hepatitis B and
C viruses Dialyzers and Bloodlines are very hard to sterilize with
chemical disinfectants Use of Microwave Unit for sterilizing of
Dialysis Waste is recommended by Fresenius Medical Care - world's
largest, integrated provider of dialysis products & services

Recent tests with sealed ampoules containing live B. antracis,
Y. pestis, Br. Abortus, F. tularensis and virus vaccines (Variolae,
Morbillorum, H5N1, Influenza) were performed. Tests have shown
effectiveness, i.e. possibility of plant application in drugstore
warehouses, utilization points for immune-biological preparations
