* Table references equipment capabilities; hospitals are not currently staffed in a manner that will achieve maximum efficiencies of the available decontamination equipment.
** Trained, available personnel will be the single largest determinant of actual decontamination capability.
*** Sustained tempo will be influenced based on outside factors such as weather, humidity percentage and ambient air temperatures. Without the use of a cooling vest, the estimated maximum work time for decontamination team members is 20-30 minutes, before a rest period and hydration will be required.
