Description

Azo Wipe Hard Surface Bactericidal Wipes x 200 are professional-grade, non-woven wipes impregnated with 70% v/v isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for rapid disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical equipment. Each tub contains 200 strong and durable wipes (approx. 200 × 220 mm) that provide fast bactericidal action against MRSA, E. coli and a wide range of other micro-organisms. The quick-drying formulation leaves no residue, smearing or streaking and is preservative free. Azowipe 70% IPA wipes are BPR compliant and manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems, making them suitable for use in clinical, laboratory, aesthetic and other critical environments.

Bnefits

Impregnated with 70% v/v isopropyl alcohol for convenient, effective and rapid disinfection of hard surfaces and equipment.
Fast bactericidal action against MRSA, E. coli and a broad range of other clinically relevant micro-organisms, with 99.9999% efficacy validated to European standards.
Quick-drying, no-residue formulation (70% IPA blended with 0.2 μm deionised water, with no additives or impurities), allowing equipment and surfaces to be used shortly after application.
Broad-spectrum activity – bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and yeasticidal when used as directed.
Strong and durable non-woven wipes that resist tearing during use.
Suitable for use on all hard, non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical device surfaces (where alcohol-compatible).
Preservative free, with no smearing or streaking on appropriately compatible surfaces.
Convenient, easy-to-dispense canister with foil seal to minimise alcohol evaporation during storage.
Manufactured in-house under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality systems and fully BPR compliant.

Indications

Rapid disinfection of hard, non-porous clinical and environmental surfaces (e.g. worktops, trolleys, couches, treatment chairs, door handles).
Surface disinfection of non-invasive medical devices and equipment between patients, where compatible with alcohol and in line with manufacturer instructions.
Use in healthcare, dental, aesthetic, laboratory, veterinary, hospitality and food preparation environments where infection prevention and control is a priority.
Ideal for use in operating theatres, casualty departments, GP surgeries, wards and other high-risk clinical settings.

Composition

Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) 70% v/v (Biocidal active ingredient, BP grade).
Deionised water (0.2 μm filtered) approximately 30% v/v as carrier.
Non-woven wipe substrate (single-use synthetic/cellulose blend material).
No added preservatives, detergents, dyes or fragrances in the impregnating solution.

Formulation

Pre-saturated non-woven disinfectant wipes in a tub.
Impregnated with 70% v/v isopropyl alcohol in 0.2 μm deionised water.
Quick-drying, low-residue, non-smearing formulation.
Single-step surface disinfection (clean visibly soiled surfaces first if required).
Designed specifically for hard, non-porous surfaces and non-invasive medical devices.

Packaging

Tub/canister containing 200 pre-saturated wipes.
Wipe size: approximately 200 × 220 mm.
Foil-sealed inner to reduce alcohol evaporation during storage.
Resealable lid / easy-dispense aperture for single-wipe dispensing.
Labelled with product name, batch number, expiry date, hazard and usage information.

Usage

If surfaces are visibly soiled, pre-clean using a suitable detergent or cleaning product before disinfection.
Open the canister, remove one wipe and immediately reseal the lid to minimise evaporation.
Wipe the hard, non-porous surface or compatible non-invasive medical device thoroughly, ensuring complete coverage so the surface is visibly wet.
Allow the surface to remain wet for the required contact time (typically up to 1 minute, depending on organism and local protocol) and leave to air dry.
Do not rinse or wipe dry immediately; allow to dry naturally to ensure effective disinfection.
Use a fresh wipe for each separate item or area to reduce cross-contamination.
Do not use on skin, open wounds or mucous membranes.
Dispose of used wipes in accordance with local clinical or healthcare waste procedures; do not flush.

Contraindications

Not for use on skin, open wounds or mucous membranes.
Do not use on invasive medical devices or equipment where the manufacturer advises against alcohol-based products.
Avoid use on alcohol-sensitive materials (e.g. some plastics, rubber, painted or varnished surfaces, acrylics) unless compatibility has been confirmed on a small inconspicuous area.
Contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to isopropyl alcohol or similar solvents.
Do not use near naked flames, hot surfaces or other sources of ignition due to high flammability of 70% IPA.

Adverse Effects

Prolonged or repeated skin contact with the solution may cause dryness, irritation or cracking.
Vapour inhalation in poorly ventilated areas may cause transient headache, dizziness or respiratory irritation.
Eye contact with the liquid may cause serious irritation, redness and watering; immediate rinsing with plenty of water is required.
Repeated exposure may lead to skin dryness or dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
In cases of significant irritation, allergic reaction or respiratory symptoms, discontinue exposure and seek medical advice.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Keep the tub tightly closed when not in use to minimise evaporation of alcohol and prevent wipes drying out.
Keep away from sources of ignition, open flames, sparks and hot surfaces – 70% IPA is highly flammable.
Do not store at very high temperatures or allow to freeze.
Keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Dispose of empty containers and unused wipes in accordance with local regulations for flammable or clinical waste.

Duration

Used as required for routine and ad-hoc surface disinfection. Each application provides rapid antimicrobial action within seconds to under one minute; frequency of use is determined by local cleaning schedules and infection control policies.

Onset

Rapid; bactericidal and broader antimicrobial activity begins on contact, with many key micro-organisms killed in under one minute (some within 15 seconds) when surfaces are adequately wetted for the specified contact time.
