Alcohol disinfectant wipes
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.
