How to distinguish and use "disinfectant wipes" and "sanitary wipes"
05 Dec,2023
According to the sanitary requirements of ws575-2017 sanitary napkins, the total number of bacterial colonies of sanitary napkins is ≤ 20cfu / g, the total number of coliform bacteria, pathogenic pyogenic bacteria (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus) and fungal colonies shall not be detected.
1, the difference between sanitary wipes and disinfectant wipes sanitary wipes wet with non-woven fabric, fabric, wood pulp composite cloth and wood pulp paper as a carrier of wipes, with the appropriate addition of raw materials such as production water and disinfectant, it can clean and disinfect treated objects (such as hands, skin, mucous membranes and common object surfaces).
According to the sanitary requirements of ws575-2017 sanitary napkins, the total number of bacterial colonies of sanitary napkins is ≤ 20cfu / g, the total number of coliform bacteria, pathogenic pyogenic bacteria (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus) and fungal colonies shall not be detected.
Microbial killing index The killing rate of sanitary napkins to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus should be ≥ 90%. If they are shown to have a bactericidal effect on fungi, the killing rate of Candida albicans should be ≥ 90%; if they are shown to have a bactericidal effect on other microorganisms, the killing rate of the corresponding microorganisms should be ≥ 90%.
Application range, sanitary napkins are suitable for cleaning and disinfection of hands, skin, mucous membranes and surfaces of common objects. The National Commission on Hygiene and Health supervises sterilized products under Category III.
Disinfecting wipes, the product is made with non-woven fabrics, fabrics, dust-free paper or other raw materials as the carrier, pure water as the production water, and appropriate addition of disinfectants and other raw materials. Suitable for human body, general object surface, medical equipment surface and other object surface.
The main components of the classification and definition of 158 products announced by the State Food and Drug Administration (such as bag expansion rings) are benzalkonium chloride and isopropyl alcohol. It is used to kill enteropathogenic bacteria, pyogenic cocci and other bacteria. When used in hospitals, it is necessary to achieve the same level of disinfection effect of disinfectant to kill microorganisms. The killing rate of disinfectant wet wipes immersion liquid on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus should be ≥ 99.999. If it is necessary to mark that the product is effective against fungi, the killing rate of Candida albicans by immersion solution should be ≥ 99.999%.
Scope of application, suitable for human body, general object surface, medical device surface and other object surface. Use principle is: no obvious pollution, available disinfection wipes cleaning disinfection. There are currently no national standards. Since disinfecting wipes are not yet listed in China's disinfecting product catalogue, they cannot be regulated as disinfectants.
2. Five reasons to choose to use "disinfectant wipes" In order to reduce hospital infection (HAI), it is very important to clean and disinfect environmental surfaces. At present, in Europe and the United States, many medical institutions choose to use "disinfection wipes", mainly for the following five reasons:
1. The correct concentration of disinfectant wipes is prepared by the manufacturer and does not need to be configured by the following methods. itself. It can ensure the correct concentration during use and avoid human operation errors, such as adding or reducing water, to avoid too high or too low concentration.
2. Effective release After experimental testing, the non-woven fabric used in the disinfectant wipes can completely and effectively release effective disinfection ingredients. If you use a combination of disinfectant/spray/effervescent tablets and a small scarf, the material of the scarf may not be able to be applied to different disinfectant components. It may be that the disinfectant cannot be completely taken away by the scarf, or the disinfectant ingredients cannot be released or released in the scarf, resulting in insufficient disinfection effect.
3. Stable liquid content The liquid content of each disinfectant wipes is very stable, and it will not cause the problem of small square wipes being too dry or too wet due to factors such as soaking time, wringing strength and humidity judgment.
4. Ready to use disinfectant wipes can be used at any time without deployment. The packaging is easy to place in each area, thereby improving convenience and compliance. There is no need to spend time on deployment before use, and there is no need to worry about whether the liquid can be used.
5. One thing one towel Because the shape and touch of wet wipes are similar to toilet paper, ordinary people will immediately discard them after use without additional teaching and training to effectively achieve one thing one towel to avoid pollution and transmission. In addition, there is no need to worry about whether the small square towel has undergone the correct cleaning and disinfection steps, and whether it is likely to be repeatedly soaked and cross-contaminated.
