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.

Bruce Power has donated a machine that sterilizes masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) to Grey Bruce Health Services in Owen Sound. The Clean Flow Health Care mini can destroy 99.9 per cent of pathogens and viruses on surfaces, and cleans up to 800 N95 masks per hour.
“As we move through the second wave of the pandemic, the availability of PPE has become more crucial to prevent virus spread and outbreaks,” said Dr. Ian Arra, Medical Officer of Health and CEO of the Grey Bruce Health Unit. “Bruce Power has yet again risen to the challenge and provided the area with a mask sanitizer machine. This will allow our frontline workers to have a continuous supply of PPE and subsequently save lives.”
