Description
Single-use Blood/Biohazard Spill Pack from GV Health (product code MJZ003, NHS Supply Chain code MJZ032), designed for safe clean-up and disinfection of blood and other biohazardous body fluid spillages. The compact pouch contains PPE and a SoChlor NaDCC-based system combining absorbent chlorine-releasing granules with SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets. The granules rapidly absorb the spill and release chlorine disinfectant to kill pathogens on contact, while the tablets are diluted to produce a high-strength chlorine solution for surface disinfection. Components are supplied together in one pack to minimise cross-contamination risk, ensure all parts are available at point of use, and make it suitable for use by non-specialist staff in healthcare and similar environments.
Bnefits
Provides a complete, single-use solution for blood and biohazard spill clean-up and disinfection.
Includes PPE (nitrile gloves and apron) to protect the user during spill management.
SoChlor NaDCC absorbent granules both absorb the spill and release chlorine disinfectant, killing pathogens on contact and reducing cross-contamination risk.
SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets dilute to a 10,000 ppm chlorine solution for effective surface disinfection against blood-borne pathogens and tuberculosis (TB).
Compact, easy-to-store pouch improves accessibility and readiness in all clinical areas.
Single-use pack format prevents fragmentation of components and ensures all required items are present when opened.
Approved for use on a wide range of biohazardous bodily fluids including blood and multiple sterile body fluids.
Spill kit and its SoChlor chemistry are certified to key European microbiological test standards (BS EN 1650, 1276, 13624, 13727, 13697).
Designed to be safe and straightforward for non-specialist staff to use.
Supports infection prevention and control by standardising blood/biohazard spill procedures.
Indications
Environmental clean-up and disinfection of blood spillages on hard surfaces in healthcare and similar settings.
Environmental clean-up and disinfection of other biohazardous bodily fluids where specified, including breast milk, amniotic fluid, vaginal secretions, semen, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), synovial fluid, pericardial fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, unfixed tissues/organs and saliva.

Single-use biohazard blood spill pack
Use in hospitals, clinics, dental practices, laboratories and other facilities requiring rapid containment and disinfection of biohazard spills.
Situations where a single, self-contained pack with PPE and disinfectant components is required for safe spill management.
Composition
Active disinfectant: Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), supplied as SoChlor NaDCC absorbent granules and SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets (hypochlorous acid–releasing disinfectant).
SoChlor NaDCC absorbent granules/tablet diluter: chlorine-releasing powder formulated to absorb liquid spills while releasing NaDCC disinfectant.
SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets: NaDCC tablets that dilute in water to produce a 10,000 ppm available chlorine disinfectant solution for wiping contaminated surfaces.
Biopolymer SoChlor applicator (from GV Health pack contents) to aid application of disinfectant solution.
Non-active components: nitrile examination gloves, disposable apron, cardboard scoop and scraper, clinical waste bag, paper towels and printed illustrated instructions.
Formulation
Single-use, pre-packed blood/biohazard spill pack containing NaDCC-based chlorine-releasing absorbent granules and tablets plus PPE and accessories.
Solid NaDCC granules and tablets are reconstituted with water at point of use to form high-strength hypochlorous acid–releasing chlorine solution for surface disinfection.
Packaging
Single pouch pack (Biohazard Spill Pack, GV Health product code MJZ003; NHS Supply Chain code MJZ032).
Pack contents (per Medisave and GV Health specifications):
- 1 x pair nitrile gloves.
- 1 x apron.
- 1 x 100 g SoChlor NaDCC absorbent granules / tablet diluter.
- 1 x scoop and scraper (cardboard scoop and scraper as per GV Health).
- 1 x clinical waste bag.
- 4 x SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets.
- 1 x Biopolymer SoChlor applicator (per GV Health).
- Paper towels.
- Illustrated instructions printed on or within the pack.
Usage
Put on the supplied nitrile gloves and apron before approaching the spill.
Sprinkle the SoChlor NaDCC absorbent granules directly over the blood or biohazard spill to absorb and contain the fluid while releasing chlorine disinfectant to inactivate pathogens.
Allow adequate contact time as indicated on the product labelling (to permit disinfection of the absorbed material).
Use the scoop and scraper to collect the absorbed material and any contaminated debris and place it into the clinical waste bag provided.
Prepare a chlorine disinfectant solution by dissolving the SoChlor TAB chlorine tablets in water to achieve the recommended 10,000 ppm available chlorine concentration for blood/biohazard spill decontamination (as described in distributor product details).
Use the prepared chlorine solution and supplied applicator/paper towels to thoroughly wipe and disinfect the affected surface area where the spill occurred.
Dispose of all used PPE, absorbent material, towels and other contaminated items into the clinical waste bag and seal according to local clinical waste policies.
Remove PPE safely, perform hand hygiene and dispose of the sealed clinical waste bag through the appropriate clinical waste stream in line with local regulations.
Always follow local infection prevention and control guidelines and the illustrated instructions provided with the pack, and read all labels and safety information before use.

Duration
Single-use application per individual blood or biohazard spill event; used once from initial absorption of the spill through to final surface disinfection and disposal.
