Do I need to wear gloves?
Aligned to the NHS ‘The gloves are off!’ Campaign, wearing gloves or other PPE is not a requirement based on the safety profile of the formulation used in Clinell Universal Wipes. Clinell Universal Wipes offer a very safe product where the user is not required to wear gloves for routine use but local risk assessment should assess if gloves are required for prolonged usage or for users with very sensitive skin.
What are the active ingredients in Clinell Universal Wipes?
The formulation in Clinell Universal Wipes is a patented, antimicrobial solution developed by GAMA’s Research & Development Department. It contains multiple different biocides including two quaternary ammonium compounds and one polymeric biguanide designed to work synergistically. The effectiveness of the biocides is increased by many multiples when they are used together. This, in turn, ensures that the wipe has wide antimicrobial activity and a high kill count. In addition, the wipe contains surfactant (to act as a detergent) and a chelating agent.
What does the term “contact time” mean?
“Contact time” is the time required for the disinfectant to act on pathogens. Essentially: how long it takes for the disinfectant to work. With liquid disinfectants, the contact time requires the disinfectant to remain wet on the surface in order for it to work effectively. The contact time can vary depending on the micro-organisms involved.
Where can Universal Wipes be used?
Universal Wipes are safe to be used on all surfaces. They will not damage rubbers, plastics or metals. Though alcohol-based wipes tend to damage materials after prolonged use, our patented, pH neutral formula ensures that this will not occur with Clinell Universal Wipes. Alongside surfaces, Universal Wipes can be used on all non-invasive medical devices. If you are unsure about whether the wipes are suitable to use on a particular object or surface please call a member of our sales team, who will be happy to assist. Always follow medical equipment manufacturer’s cleaning procedures and guidelines.
Why is the product referred to as a Universal Wipe?
The wipes function as both disinfectant and detergent. They can also be used on all surfaces and all ward-based equipment.
