VIRACLOR CHLORINATED SANITISER
WH220056
antimicrobial solution containing 5.0% available Chlorine as. Sodium Hypochlorite with an in-built detergent system. It is intended as a reliable sanitiser for general use in hospitals on both animate and inanimate surfaces. Most importantly it offers excellent sanitising properties against significant microorganisms, which are becoming increasingly troublesome to control due to increasing incidence of acquired resistance. Chlorine compounds are well recognised as a sanitiser for selected application in hospitals and more recently greater emphasis is being placed on the use of these compounds.
CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION: VIRACLOR contains 5.0% w/v available chlorine as Sodium Hypochlorite or in terms of parts per million: 50,000 p.p.m. Modern usage normally relates disinfection ability to the quantity of “available chlorine” in parts per million present in the working solution. DETERGENCY: The detergent system in VIRACLOR is based on a highly active non-ionic species with good detergency, fast wetting and excellent soil penetration. The surfactant was chosen after close analysis of available surfactants known to be mild and non-irritant to normal skin. As the wetting power of hypochlorite solutions is poor, the incorporation of a detergent system is of major importance as detergency improves the access of the disinfectant to bacterially laden soils. It also decreases the risk of unqualified personnel adding detergent to a disinfectant to suit their own cleaning requirements, which may or may not inactivate the disinfectant. With VIRACLOR this temptation is removed. MANUFACTURING PROCESS: Unlike most common Sodium Hypochlorite solutions of industrial standard, the manufacturing process of VIRACLOR is aimed to achieve a medical standard suitable for use in hospitals. It is manufactured in an ISO 13485 Accredited plant. The plant is licensed under ISO 13485 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and also under ISO 9001:2000 by Standards Australia. The water used in manufacture is completely deionised. Being a stabilised product, accurate p.p.m. can be obtained by the dilutions recommended. Solutions over 5% available chlorine are unstable and to achieve accurate p.p.m., the available chlorine should be determined prior to dilution. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: To obtain required p.p.m. available chlorine: 1 mL VIRACLOR per 1 litre water gives 50 p.p.m. CONDITION P.P.M. DILUTION RATIO DILUTION % ML PER LITRE CLEAN 200 1:250 0.4 4 LIGHT SOIL – NO BLOOD 1.000 1:50 2.0 20 SOILED OR DIRTY (T.G.A. TEST) 3.500 1:14 7.0 70 HEAVILY SOILED – BLOOD 10.000 1:5 20.0 200 The following quantities of chlorine are strongly recommended for Hospital Use. 1. 10,000 p.p.m. for sanitising of items soiled with blood. 2. 1,000 p.p.m. in presence of organic material other than blood 3. 100 – 200 p.p.m. in absence of organic material. Care should be exercised with blood spills on carpets as Sodium Hypochlorite solution will bleach the carpet. It is recommended that VIRACLEAN should be used on carpets. Reference should also be made to the National Infection Control Guidelines.
