Bruce Power is donating a machine to the Grey Bruce Health Services.
The machine sterilizes mask, gloves, and other personal protective equipment.
The Clean Flow Health Care mini can destroy 99.9 percent of pathogens and viruses on surfaces, and cleans up to 800 N-95 masks per hour.
Bruce Power along with the County of Bruce and the County of Huron purchased three of these machines last April.
Two were kept and operated out of the Abreflex facility in Paisley.
After consulting with the Grey Bruce Health Unit, one machine will be transferred to the Owen Sound hospital.
