Alcohol-free universal disinfectant wipes

Description

Sani-Cloth® AF³ Universal wipes are alcohol-free, ready-to-use, low-linting disinfectant wipes for combined cleaning and disinfection of non-invasive medical devices and general hard surfaces in healthcare environments. Pre-saturated with a dual quaternary ammonium compound formulation, they provide broad-spectrum bactericidal, virucidal, yeasticidal and tuberculocidal activity with a 1-minute total contact time, supporting fast and effective infection control. The wipes are dermatologically tested, latex free, PHMB and CMR free, and compatible with a wide range of medical plastics, metals, electronic equipment and sealed wood surfaces. This Universal bucket format (SKU EAF3005) contains large wipes designed for high-touch areas such as bed rails, trolleys, monitors, IV poles and other frequently handled equipment.

Bnefits

2-in-1 cleaning and disinfection in a single step, reducing the need for separate detergent and disinfectant products.
Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, dual quaternary ammonium formulation suitable for use around patients and staff with respiratory sensitivities.
Broad-spectrum efficacy – bactericidal, virucidal, yeasticidal and tuberculocidal with a 1-minute total contact time when used as directed.
Low-linting wipe material helps prevent fibre shedding on sensitive equipment and medical devices.
Dermatologically tested and not made with natural rubber latex, PHMB or CMR substances, helping to minimise allergy and sensitisation risks.
Compatible with a wide range of non-invasive medical devices and hard surfaces including many plastics, metals, electronic housings and sealed wood.
Ready-to-use disposable wipes in a convenient bucket format support consistent application and reduce dosing errors.
NHS-approved universal wipes, widely used across hospitals and clinical environments for routine and terminal disinfection of non-invasive equipment.

Indications

Routine cleaning and disinfection of non-invasive medical devices in healthcare settings, according to device manufacturer compatibility guidance.
Disinfection of non-porous hard surfaces such as bed rails, trolleys, worktops, IV poles, monitors, and other high-touch environmental surfaces.
Pre-cleaning or decontamination of non-invasive medical devices prior to sterilisation or high-level disinfection, where appropriate.
Use in areas requiring rapid, broad-spectrum disinfection with a short contact time and no alcohol (e.g. near patients with respiratory sensitivities or alcohol avoidance).

Composition

Dual quaternary ammonium compound-based disinfectant solution (approx. 0.28% w/w total quaternary ammonium compounds in the working solution).
Aqueous base with surfactants and stabilisers to provide combined cleaning and disinfection performance.
Impregnated onto a low-lint non-woven wipe substrate.
Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, PHMB-free, CMR-free and not made with natural rubber latex.

Formulation

Pre-impregnated non-woven wipes containing an alcohol-free, dual quaternary ammonium disinfectant solution for surface cleaning and disinfection.

Packaging

Universal bucket / tub format containing approximately 225 pre-saturated wipes.
Large wipe size (approx. 270 mm x 260 mm) suitable for rapid coverage of high-touch surfaces.
Resealable bucket lid to limit drying and maintain wipe moisture between uses.
Supplied as an alcohol-free, Class IIa medical device for non-invasive medical devices and hard surfaces.

Usage

For professional use only. Check the label and local infection-control policies before use.
Ensure the bucket is correctly closed when not in use; on first use, open the lid, remove any inner seal as directed, and feed the first wipe through the dispensing aperture.
Pull out a single wipe and close the lid after dispensing to prevent remaining wipes from drying out.
Using a fresh wipe, thoroughly wipe the surface or non-invasive medical device to ensure it is visibly wet, working from clean to dirty areas and avoiding re-contamination.
Allow the surface to remain visibly wet for at least 1 minute to achieve the stated bactericidal, virucidal, yeasticidal and tuberculocidal activity.
Where heavy soiling is present, pre-clean with a fresh wipe and then repeat with a new wipe to ensure effective disinfection.
Do not rinse unless specifically recommended by the device or equipment manufacturer; if rinsing is required, follow their instructions.
Dispose of used wipes in accordance with local clinical or domestic waste regulations; do not flush wipes down toilets.
Wash or sanitise hands after completing environmental cleaning and disinfection tasks.
Always follow the manufacturer’s Instructions for Use and any additional guidance from local infection prevention and control teams.

Contraindications

Not for use on skin, open wounds, mucous membranes or as a hand or body wipe.
Not suitable for ingestion or use on invasive medical devices.
Do not use on surfaces or equipment that are incompatible with quaternary ammonium compounds; always check manufacturer guidance for delicate materials and electronic equipment.
Do not mix with other cleaning or disinfectant chemicals, as this may reduce efficacy or generate hazardous by-products.
Discontinue use and seek advice if any unexpected damage or discolouration of surfaces or devices is observed.

Adverse Effects

May cause mild skin irritation or dryness in some users after prolonged or repeated exposure; wearing gloves is recommended for frequent use.
May cause transient eye irritation if solution contacts the eyes; eyes should be rinsed with water if contact occurs.
Inappropriate use on incompatible materials may lead to surface damage, staining or degradation over time.
Inhalation of mists or aerosols generated by improper use (e.g. vigorous waving of wet wipes near the face) may cause mild respiratory irritation in sensitive individuals.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
Keep the bucket tightly closed when not in use to prevent wipes from drying out and to maintain product efficacy.
Store in the original container and do not decant into other unlabelled containers.
Protect from freezing and from excessive temperatures as indicated on the product label.
Use within the stated shelf life and, once opened, within the recommended in-use period indicated by the manufacturer.

Duration

Onset

Broad-spectrum disinfection (bactericidal, virucidal, yeasticidal and tuberculocidal) achieved with a total contact time of approximately 1 minute on pre-cleaned surfaces when used as directed.
