Chlorine disinfection products


Recently, hospital infection outbreaks caused by organisms such as Clostridium difficile, Acinetobacter, M.R.S.A. and Norovirus have highlighted the need for cleaner, properly disinfected hospital wards. The following products supplied by Inverclyde Biologicals are the quality products of choice when dealing with infection control.

Haz-Tabs pictureHaz-Tab tablets - 4.5g
The use of chlorine-release tablets to make up environmental disinfectant solutions is now well established throughout the United Kingdom. Chlorine is recommended for the disinfection of blood and body fluids and for general environmental disinfection. This is due to its proven broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, spores and viruses.

The non-effervescent formulation of NaDCC (sodium dichloroisocyanurate) used in the 4.5g Haz-Tab is the most cost effective way of buying chlorine. Effervescing agents only take up space in the tablet that could otherwise be chlorine, hence for tablets of the same size and weight you need less non-effervescent tablets to make up a given strength of solution. For example, four 4.5g Haz-Tabs added to a litre of water will make a solution of 10,000 p.p.m. available chlorine. It is vitally important to ensure that the correct strength of chlorine solution is made up for disinfection purposes. That is 10,000 p.p.m. for blood and body fluid spills or 1,000 p.p.m. for general environmental disinfection. Using the Haz-Tab Diluter made for the specific tablet, staff can now simply and easily make up the correct strength of solution by following the simple instructions printed on the label. The design of the diluter makes it easy and safer for staff to mix the solution after the tablets have dissolved.

Haz-Tab Granules
Made from NaDCC, a powerful and effective chlorine producing agent. These granules will absorb spills of high-risk fluids and release a minimum of 10,000p.p.m. available chlorine to disinfect the area. Spills of high-risk body fluids present a serious hazard to the staff who are delegated to mop up the spill and disinfect the affected area.

Chlor-Clean
Cleaning and effective disinfection in one operation
Chlor Clean pictureChlor-Clean has proved its effectiveness in many hospitals during the outbreak of norovirus that have been sweeping up and down the country over the last few years; more recently it has become part of the regime used by those hospitals that have been successful in significantly reducing their Clostridium difficile infections including the particularly virulent 027 strain.

Chlor-Clean tablets have been developed using a special surfactant (or cleaning agent) that will actually work with the chlorine disinfectant that is bound into the same tablet. Thus, once the tablet has been dissolved in one litre of water the resultant solution will both clean and disinfect the environment in one go, reducing cleaning time but, at the same time, providing effective disinfection of the area.

The product is simple and pleasant to use. Chlor-clean tablets have been formulated to work in cold water thus reducing the chlorine smell in use whilst still retaining the effective cleaning action of the surfactant. A diluter is available to make it easy for staff to obtain the correct dilution of 1,000 p.p.m. available chlorine with surfactant action. Once made up the solution will last for up to 24 hours.

Available 1 x 6. Order code H8950.
