1 Inactivation of Prions: Studies in France & Germany Sterilizzazione a gas plasma di perossido di idrogeno: studi di inattivazione dei prioni
2 Prions: A Longstanding Animal & Human Health Issue ANIMALS! 1732: Natural Scrapie / Sheep Europa! 1985: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (180,000 cases more than 900,000 contaminated bovine in food) UK! 1990: Cat SE (Switzerland)! Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy (TME)! Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) HUMANS! 1951: Kuru New Guinea! 1920: Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (CJD) Europa! Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker Syndrome (GSS)! Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI)! 1995: Variant of CJD (vcjd)
3 Prion: Unconventional Transmissible Agent UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL DISEASES! No virus or microorganism! No immune reaction! No inflammation! Degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) with lesions identified in the CNS only (spongiosis) TRANSMISSIBLE (e.g., food, blood transfusion, surgery), BUT NOT CONTAGIOUS ALWAYS FATAL! Suspected agent is a protein (prion protein)! Long asymptomatic period (several years before signs of disease appear) EXTREME RESISTANCE TO CONVENTIONAL STERILIZATION/ DISINFECTION PROCESSES With dry heat, infectivity is still detectable after:! 180 C during 24 hours! 320 C during 1 hour! 600 C during 15 minutes
4 Inactivation of prion protein with hydrogen peroxide gas plasma
5 Inactivation of prion protein with hydrogen peroxide gas plasma

8 In vivo vs. in vitro Test Methods In vivo tests:! Tests performed on living animals infected with a contaminated wire introduced in brain.! Number of days of survival of animals depends on efficiency of sterilization and/or disinfection process applied on contaminated wires before they are placed in brain.! Survival varies between 80 days (no processing) and 18 months (end of experiments). In vitro tests:! Bio-chemical analysis performed on contaminated stainless steel (wires and plates) or plastic plates covered with contaminated brain homogenates.! Tests indicate quantity of PrPres remaining on the plate after processing the plate.
9 Laboratories Conducting the Studies IN VIVO TESTS Directed by Klaus Roth, SMP GmbH (Tübingen, Germany) in collaboration with:! University of Tübingen! Federal Reference Center for Virus Diseases of Animals IN VITRO TESTS 1. Directed by Pascal Clayette, Ph.D., SPI-BIO, Neurovirology Laboratory (Fontenay aux-roses, France)! SPI BIO is a spinoff of CEA, one of the reference research centers for prion diseases in France.! Pascal Clayette was a close collaborator of the late Dr. Dominique Dormont, a scientist involved in prions research and expert for Afssaps and EMEA. 2. Co-Directed by Pascal Clayette and Armand Perret-Liaudet, Ph.D., Lyon University Hospital! Armand Perret-Liaudet is one of the reference prion experts in France, for AFSSaPS and EMEA.
10 Originality and Strengths of the Study Comparative Methodology! In vivo: 41 experimental conditions (sterilization, detergence, disinfection, combinations, different levels of concentration, temperature, etc.)! In vitro: 20 experimental conditions with 6 different strains and 3 types of materials and 2 shapes of support (quadru- or sexplicats) Coherence and Consolidation of the Results! 13 test groups with the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer! 4 test groups with the STERRAD NX Sterilizer! 2 Western Blot protocols used for the key groups (3F4 and coupled SAF83)
11 Bioassay: Methodology Preparation of the wires! Stainless steel wires (1.4301; Flechsig et al., 2001*). Ø : 0,3 mm / L : 5 mm! Incubation in 10% brain homogenate in phosphate buffer for 16 h! Dried at room temperature for 1 h! Treated with the different processes (except for positive controls) Implantation! Introduction in an injection needle! Use of a stereotaxic instrument! Insertion in the brain of an anesthetized hamster Monitoring! Clinical! Biochemical (Western Blots) *Transmission of scrapie by steel-surface-bound prions. Flechsig E, Hegyi I, Enari M, Schwarz P, Collinge J, Weissmann C. Mol Med Oct;7(10):
12 Bioassay: Correlation Between Infectious Dose and Incubation Period! An incubation delay of 12 days = a reduction of the infection level 1 log! After 200 days, only residual infectivity detected. * Müller H, Stitz L, Wille H, Prusiner SB, Reisner D. Influence of water, fat, and glycerol on the mechanism of thermal prion inactivation.

13 «263K/hamster model»: Brain invasion by prions after wire implantation Complete brain invasion by prions after the implantation of one 263K-contaminated steel wire Lemmer, 2008 (PET blot detection of cerebral PrPsc)
14 Validation of the Methodology Transmission Rate: Number of sick animals/total number of animals in group (usually 10 animals/ group). Incubation Period: Number of days between contamination and death of the animal. Incubation Delay: Additional survival period obtained by processing of wire (=incubation time- # of days of survival for hamster contaminated with a non-processed wire). Reduction Factor: Estimated reduction of initial contamination load expressed on a logarithmic scale. Twelve additional days of survival correspond approximately to 1 log reduction of infection load. Experimental method does not allow statement above 5-6 log.

STERRAD NX system obtains elimination of residual signal for all strains! 263 K and 22 L strains appear more resistant to STERRAD Systems and the hydrogen peroxide used in the technology and confirms that in vivo tests were performed with the most resistant strain
21 System Efficiency against Prions Gaz Plasma System! STERRAD 100S without cleaning: 1.3 log (1.8 log after 2 consecutive cycles)! Alkaline detergent + STERRAD 100S System: 5-6 log, transmission rate = 0% Gaz Plasma System(alone or combined with alkaline detergent)! No infectivity detected (bioassay): 5-6 log! Efficiency (in vitro) against 263K strain & human strains! Efficiency (in vitro) for different materials (Stainless steel, Polypropylene, Polyethylene) Gaz Plasma System! Identical efficiency (in vitro) against the 263K strain as compared to STERRAD NX System
22 Conclusions 1/2 Studies published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology conducted by two independent laboratories demonstrate that STERRAD NX System hydrogen peroxide gas plasma technology was able to inactivate prions. The studies also found the STERRAD NX System was at least as effective, and in some conditions more effective, than conventional high-temperature steam methods. For example, the STERRAD NX System proved more effective than steam sterilization at 134 C/18 min. (prion cycle). The results of this study and other published tests prove that prion inactivation can be accomplished without the use of corrosive solutions and high temperatures

Recommended for Screening and, in addition to in vivo, to explain mode of action and, for solutions, to differentiate between elimination and inactivation. In vivo! 2 strains : Hamsters / 263K scrapie strain + Mouse/infected bovine or human strain (mouseadapted 6PB1 BSE strain)! Used to efficacy of process by quantifying reduction of infectious load and comparing it with a minimum of 2 reference treatments : Total inactivation : NaOH Sodium hydroxide 1N / 1 hr at room T C Total inactivation : NaOCl Sodium hypochlorite ppm /1 hr / Room T C Altough not reaching total inactivation steam 134 C / 18 min is accepted as a benchmark for «physical process» Partial activity : dilution or shorter exposure time of above processes (NaOH 0.1M 15 min. or 1 hr, NaOCl 2000 ppm or 5000 ppm 15 minutes)
25 Products approved for Total Inactivation Afssaps / April 2010
26 Conclusions 2/2 Prion risk, even low need to be considered and the standard procedures used daily to reprocess medical devices must include an inactivation phase if the device was in contact with high infectious risk tissues. The results of this study and other published tests prove that prion inactivation can be accomplished without the use of corrosive solutions and high temperatures
