Cleaning status indicator notes
Description
Clinell Paper-based Indicator Notes - 4 x 250 Notes (CCIN1000GS) are clear, highly visible, self-adhesive notes designed to show at a glance whether a room, surface or piece of equipment has been cleaned. Part of the Clinell Clean Indicator range and developed in conjunction with Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust Infection Control Department, the green \I am clean\ notes are completed, signed and dated after local decontamination has taken place, providing visible assurance that an item is ready for reuse. The new paper-based design is more sustainable and recyclable than the original plastic notes, while retaining the same trusted performance, low-residue adhesive and order codes. Supplied as 4 pads of 250 notes (1,000 total), they help healthcare organisations implement effective hygiene procedures and conform to UK Department of Health High Impact Interventions No. 8.

Usage
- Clean and disinfect the room, surface or piece of equipment according to local infection-prevention protocols, using appropriate cleaning and disinfectant products.
- Ensure the surface where the note will be applied is dry and free from visible residue to maximise adhesion.
- Remove a single indicator note from the pad.
- On the front of the note, tick or mark the "I am clean" (or equivalent) box to confirm that decontamination has been completed.
- Complete the date, time and your name or initials in the spaces provided to create a clear record of who cleaned the item and when.
- Peel the note from its backing (if applicable) and apply it firmly to a clean, dry, visible area of the equipment or surface, ensuring good contact across the adhesive area.
- Position the note so that it is clearly visible to staff but does not interfere with the safe operation or adjustment of the equipment.
- When the item or area is due to be re-cleaned, remove and discard the old note and replace it with a new one after the next cleaning cycle.
- Do not reuse notes; they are designed as single-use indicators.
- Dispose of used notes as general or clinical waste according to local policy.
Contraindications
- Not a disinfectant or cleaning product and must not be used as a substitute for appropriate cleaning and disinfection procedures.
- Not intended for application to skin, mucous membranes or wounds.
- Use with caution on delicate, newly painted, polished or sensitive surfaces where adhesives may mark, lift or damage finishes; test on a small inconspicuous area if unsure.
- Not suitable for use on very rough, wet, oily or heavily textured surfaces where adhesion may be poor.
- Not to be used as a tamper-evident label or for applications where regulated labelling standards (e.g. for medications or medical devices) are required.
Adverse Effects
- In normal use, adverse effects are minimal; however, adhesive residue may occasionally remain on some surfaces and require additional cleaning.
- On certain delicate or poorly compatible surfaces, removal of the note may cause minor marking, surface dulling or lifting of coatings or paint.
- Prolonged direct skin contact with the adhesive may cause mild irritation in susceptible individuals; the notes are not intended to be worn on skin.
- Small notes may present a choking hazard if handled by young children; they should be kept out of reach of children.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of print and degradation of adhesive.
- Keep in the original box or a protective container when not in use to protect pads from dust, moisture and physical damage.
- Avoid exposure to excessive heat, humidity or cleaning chemicals which may affect adhesion or legibility.
- Store out of reach of children and unauthorised persons, in line with local governance for infection-prevention consumables.
Duration
Not a medical treatment; each note remains in place until the next cleaning cycle, or until it becomes damaged or illegible. A new note should be applied after each subsequent cleaning or decontamination episode.
Onset
Provides an immediate visual indication of cleaning status as soon as the note is completed, signed and applied to the cleaned item or area.
