We have learnt that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted via contact with contaminated surfaces. Therefore, medical devices that encounter mucous membranes are a transmission risk if not properly decontaminated. Studies have shown that the virus can survive on surfaces for 4 \u2013 7 days<sup>1<\/sup>, highlighting the necessity of thorough cleaning and disinfection of medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-h-5-font-size\">In the absence of SARS-CoV-2 test availability, surrogate viruses have been used by the industry to demonstrate efficacy. Laboratory testing is now available to assess disinfectant efficacy against real-life pathogenic SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>TRISTEL CHLORINE DIOXIDE (ClO<sub>2<\/sub>) DEMONSTRATES COMPLETE INACTIVATION OF SARS-CoV-2 IN 30 SECONDS IN DIRTY CONDITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH EN 14476:2013+A2:2019*.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-choose-tristel-chlorine-dioxide\">Why choose Tristel chlorine dioxide?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tristel chlorine dioxide products are proven to be virucidal in accordance with European standard test methodologies**.
