Disinfectants in the fight against coronaviruses
CLEANISEPT WIPES MAXI / BOX
DESCOSEPT SENSITIVE WIPES
DESCOSEPT SPEZIAL SPRAY 750 mL
Since December 2019, the whole world has been talking about the new coronavirus, which is increasingly dominating the news cycle. After initially only being present in central China, the virus has now spread via Shanghai and Beijing to South Korea, Japan and Thailand, with cases now also being detected in the United States and Europe. The spread of the virus has been accompanied by a relatively rapid increase in the number of infections, and now some deaths have also occurred.
The coronavirus (2019-nCoV) causes severe pneumonia. In 2002/2003 and 2012, in a similar form, it was responsible for respiratory illnesses during the outbreak of the SARS pandemic (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, SARS-CoV) and the MERS epidemic (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, MERS-CoV), which originated in the Arabian Peninsula.
Chinese authorities have now been able to confirm "person-to-person" transmission, although information on the exact type of transmission is not yet available.
Coronavirus requires virucidal agents effective against enveloped viruses
When using products for hand and surface disinfection, it is necessary to use disinfectants containing virucidal agents effective against enveloped viruses. According to the relevant expert associations, this also applies to coronaviruses.
Disinfection of surfaces and medical devices
|
CLEANISEPT WIPES MAXI / BOX are alcohol-free disinfectant detergent wipes suitable for use on all types of medical devices, including ultrasound equipment, units and probes. Effective against all enveloped viruses in 30 seconds, CLEANISEPT WIPES MAXI / BOX allow for convenient and quick disinfection of medium-sized surfaces. |
 |
For surfaces, we recommend:
|
DESCOSEPT SPEZIAL SPRAY 750 mL, a disinfectant particularly suitable for alcohol-sensitive surfaces, including acrylic glass. Based on quaternary ammonium compounds, it offers strong cleaning power and guarantees virucidal activity against enveloped viruses with a contact time of 30 seconds. |
 |
|
DESCOSEPT SENSITIVE WIPES are ready-to-use ethanol-based disinfectant wipes for surfaces, which are particularly suitable for use near patients in sensitive areas due to their broad spectrum of activity (limited virucidal activity plus effectiveness in 3 minutes). DESCOSEPT SENSITIVE WIPES offer very good material compatibility and leave no visible streaks or residues. |
