Chlor-clean Chlorine Disinfection Range
QED Occtech has had a long association with UK Company, Guest Medical and is established as the Australian representative for the company's superior range of disinfection products.
The overall effectiveness of chlorine against bacteria, spore forming organisms and viruses is well proven. The range of Guest medical products is superior to traditional sodium hypochlorite solutions compliments of a new chlorine donor NaDCC or sodium dichloroisocyanurate. This superior chlorine product has two distinct advantages:
- Tablets are stable, with a shelf life measured in years and
- NaDCC has been shown to be far more effective in the presence of organic material such as blood and bodily fluids.
QED Occtech proudly promotes three NaDCC Products, namely;
Chlor-Clean
The correct method of performing a ‘terminal' or "clinical clean" is to wash the area with detergent and water, wash off the detergent residues thoroughly with clean water and then wipe the area (a third time) with a 1,000 ppm chlorine solution. Each of these three stages are vital; for example, if the middle stage is omitted the chlorine will be inactivated by the detergent residues, but because it is so time consuming it is rarely performed properly.
Any attempt at combining detergents (even neutral detergents) and chlorine products will result in the reduced effectiveness of the detergent and inactivation of the chlorine.
New Technology has provided a simple answer to the above problem. Chlor-Clean tablets contain NaDCC. NaDCC is combined with a new anionic surfactant that does work with the chlorine and also allows the chlorine to achieve its full disinfection properties.
Thus the Chlor-Clean solution reduces the time taken to do a clinical clean by two thirds and will encourage proper disinfection of the area.
