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.
