The prerequisite for the disinfection of wipes is to choose disinfection wipes to use. For many wet wipes on the market, most of them are ordinary wet wipes or sanitary wipes, which are completely different in definition from disinfecting wipes. Therefore, we must choose the wet wipes reasonably and correctly before use. Let us learn about the professional classification of wet wipes and how to choose the correct wet wipes.
Professional classification of wet wipes
Ordinary wipes
Definition: a product that uses non-woven fabrics, fabrics, dust-free paper or other raw materials as carriers, purified water as production water, and appropriate amount of preservatives and other auxiliary materials to clean hands, skin and mucous membranes or the surface of objects
Technical indicators: The total number of bacterial colonies in microbial culture ≤200CFU/g, the colonies of the large intestine shall not be detected, the pathogenic pyogenic bacteria shall not be detected, the total number of fungal colonies ≤100CFU/g.
Sanitary wipes
Definition: a product that uses non-woven fabrics, fabrics, dust-free paper or other raw materials as the carrier, purified water as the production water, and appropriate amount of preservatives and other auxiliary materials to clean and sterilize the hand, skin, mucous membrane or surface of the object
Technical indicators: The total number of bacterial colonies in microbial culture ≤20CFU/g, the colonies of large intestines shall not be detected, the pathogenic pyogenic bacteria shall not be detected, and the total number of fungal colonies shall not be detected; the killing rate of wet wipes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ≥90 %
Disinfecting wipes
Definition: Use non-woven fabrics, fabrics, dust-free paper or other raw materials as the carrier, purified water as the production water, add appropriate amount of preservatives and other auxiliary materials, and clean and disinfect the surface of the hand, skin and mucous membranes, the surface of the medical equipment or the surface of the production equipment Products; the killing rate of wet wipes against natural bacteria in the field test is ≥90.0%, and the killing rate of other microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans ≥99.9%
Technical indicators: The total number of bacterial colonies in microbial culture shall not be detected, the colonies of large intestine shall not be detected, the pathogenic pyogenic bacteria shall not be detected, and the total number of fungal colonies shall not be detected.
