Choosing the right hospital surface disinfectant
The right surface disinfectant depends on where and how it will be used. Consider the application, surface or device, local infection prevention and control requirements, required antimicrobial efficacy and the manufacturer's instructions before selecting a product.
Start with the application
Different environments and surfaces have different cleaning and disinfection requirements. Where disinfection is required, consider whether the product will be used on hard surfaces, floors, non-invasive medical devices or in a specialist environment such as a dental setting or cleanroom.
Always follow your organisation's infection prevention and control procedures alongside the product instructions.
Check efficacy and contact time
The required antimicrobial efficacy will vary depending on the setting and application. Check the individual product information to understand which microorganisms the disinfectant has been tested against, the required concentration where applicable, and the stated contact time.
For effective disinfection, the product must remain in contact with the surface for the specified period. NHS healthcare cleanliness guidance specifically identifies appropriate contact time as an important consideration when selecting and using disinfectants.
Choose the right product format
schülke's surface disinfection range includes ready-to-use liquids, impregnated disinfectant wipes and concentrated products.
Ready-to-use products and wipes can provide a convenient option where quick application is important, while concentrates may be suitable for larger-scale surface disinfection where preparation and dilution form part of the cleaning protocol.
Check surface and material compatibility
Consider the material being disinfected as well as the required level of efficacy. Some materials are sensitive to particular formulations, including alcohol, so the most appropriate product will depend on the surface or equipment involved.
When disinfecting a reusable medical device, always follow the device manufacturer's decontamination instructions and check that the cleaning or disinfecting product is compatible with the device.
