Tristel Duo ULT
Tristel Duo ULT is an HPV effective high-level disinfectant that leaves no part of an ultrasound transducer untreated.
Some automated units can only disinfect the ultrasound probe and handle, however studies have shown that this is insufficient as microorganisms are still present on the plug and cable after use. Tristel Duo ULT offers high-level disinfection for all parts of an ultrasound transducer including the probe, holder, plug and cable.
Research conducted by Meyers et al., (2020) demonstrates Tristel Duo ULT is effective against infectious HPV types 16 and 18, on a transvaginal ultrasound probe in 30 seconds.
Tristel Duo ULT complies with guidelines for disinfection within ultrasound, such as BMUS, WFUMB and the Society for Maternal Fetal-Medicine.
Tristel Duo ULT does not require electricity or water, making it ideal for disinfection at point of use and in remote locations.

Application
Use Tristel Duo ULT to high-level disinfect endocavity and skin surface ultrasound transducers, including probe, holder, plug and cable.
Compatibility
Tristel Duo ULT has been tested and proven to be compatible with the devices of major medical device manufacturers including GE Healthcare, Philips, FUJIFILM SonoSite, BK Medical, Canon, and Mindray.
For more information on our compatibility testing, please view our Compatibility Guide.
Traceability
Keep track of each Tristel Duo ULT disinfection procedure with Tristel 3T.
Tristel 3T is a digital traceability system designed to train, track and trace. It includes a Portal for setup, data management and reporting purposes and an App to record Tristel disinfection procedures.
Chemistry
Tristel Duo ULT utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide.
Tristel Duo ULT has two separate compartments that contain 125ml of Tristel Base Solution (citric acid) and 125ml of Tristel Activator Solution (sodium chlorite). Upon pressing the pump, the two solutions mix and chlorine dioxide chemistry is generated.
Chlorine dioxide does not form hazardous by-products or halogenated compounds.
Due to the way chlorine dioxide breaks down and destroys microorganisms, resistance cannot develop over time. Find out more about the mode of action of chlorine dioxide here.

What is Human papillomavirus HPV?
HPV is a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses. There are 14 HPV types which are considered high-risk and are responsible for approximately 99% of cervical cancer cases.
Research conducted by Meyers et al., (2020) demonstrates Tristel Duo ULT is effective against infectious HPV types 16 and 18, on a transvaginal ultrasound probe in 30 seconds.
What is SARS-CoV-2?
SARS-CoV-2 is a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus and the strain of coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coronaviruses are a group of airborne viruses that spread via respiratory droplets. These droplets can be directly transmitted to a new host or indirectly via contaminated surfaces.
Testing demonstrates that Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry is effective against SARS-CoV-2 in 30 seconds.
Regulatory
Tristel Duo ULT passes local regulatory requirements for Israel, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
