MIRA Safety DS-1 Portable Decontamination Shower System

Designed for trained disaster responders, a standard decontamination shower system is an essential setup designed to ensure thorough decontamination in the event of an incident involving contamination. This system typically features PVC construction for durability and ease of maintenance, with vinyl curtains providing privacy during the decontamination process. It includes containment features to prevent the spread of contaminants, ensuring that hazardous materials are properly managed. The system is equipped with multiple spray heads to effectively remove contaminants from the body. Elevation grids are often used to allow for proper drainage and to keep the user elevated above the contaminated runoff, further enhancing safety and effectiveness during the decontamination procedure.

Technical Specification

Rapid decontamination is absolutely crucial for anyone working around Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) or any other Chemical Biological, Radiological or Nuclear (CBRN) threat.

The MIRA Safety DS-1 Portable Decontamination Shower is an individual decontamination station your team can set up almost anywhere in under an hour. The DS-1 is a step above most decontamination showers, with a fully enclosed design that’s engineered to operate even in harsh environments and heavy weather.

The entire system includes a pre-configured collapsible design.  It breaks down into a few small primary pieces (the inflatable shower, the decontamination box with built-in pumps, the barrels and the compressor). It weighs about as much as one person and can be transported by any means—the DS-1 could even fit inside a small car if absolutely necessary.

Inside the shower, five integrated shower head nozzles provide full-body coverage, with a special hand shower for more intensive cleaning of specific areas. The hand shower can also be operated by a third party standing outside the shower thanks to the wide, clear windows that allow for maximum lighting and easy cleaning.

The Decontamination Box is an all-in-one lightweight steel unit that powers the system and connects the shower to the cleansing and wastewater barrels. The entire system is controlled by accessible switches, so it’s easy to operate and maintain even when wearing full PPE. The power supply can be connected to an inverter, generator or other portable power sources as needed.

The MIRA Safety DS-1 Portable Decontamination Shower is robust, lightweight, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible.

The system can be easily deployed by firefighters, police, civilians, and military personnel to provide on-demand decontamination and cleaning in various situations. It can be used to cleanse personal protective equipment (PPE) that may or may not have been exposed to CBRN threats as well as for personal hygiene.

While the MIRA Safety DS-1 Portable Decontamination Shower works as an effective standalone unit, it is designed to work in conjunction with our Basic Decontamination System for thorough two-step cleaning.
