A new independent study published in the Journal of Hospital Infection (Hernández A et al, 2008) has confirmed the rapid efficacy of Tristel Sporicidal Wipes against Mycobacterium
avium. The chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant wipes were mycobactericidal in just 30 seconds contact time. Tristel Sporicidal Wipes were assessed using a modified version of the
European Standard prEN 14563 carrier test against M. avium, which provided a close simulation of actual usage conditions. Sporicidal Wipes are convenient, ready-to-use disinfectant wipes that incorporate Tristel’s patented chlorine dioxide
chemistry. The wipes kill all organisms on pre-cleaned surfaces, from which soil and organic matter have been removed, within 30 seconds contact time.
