Description
Based on Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, Tristel Duo EVE is designed specifically for the high-level disinfection of non-invasive medical devices such as colposcopes and non-porous surfaces of medical equipment used in Women’s Health.
Tristel Duo EVE does not require electricity or water to do its job. It is effective against microorganisms of concern with a contact time of only 30 seconds.
Efficacy
Tristel Duo EVE is a high-level disinfectant and is proven effective against a wide range of microorganisms in 30 seconds, including:
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Candida albicans
- Gardnerella vaginalis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Adenovirus
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus agalactiae
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- Hepatitis B Virus
- Herpes Simplex Virus type 1
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 that Tristel Duo EVE 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.
Chemistry
Tristel Duo EVE utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide.
Tristel Duo EVE 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.
Regulatory
Tristel Duo EVE has been independently tested and meets the requirements set out by European Norms including EN 14885. Sporicidal efficacy according to EN 17126:2018 is also demonstrated.
Product Options
Tristel Duo EVE is available in boxes of six bottles. Each bottle of Tristel Duo EVE provides 310 aliquots of disinfectant foam which is equivalent to 155 high-level disinfection procedures.
To ensure the maximum amount of foam is applied to the medical device, pair Tristel Duo EVE with the low absorbing Duo Wipes.
Tristel Duo EVE can fit inside a pocket or bag. Alternatively, keep Tristel Duo EVE within reach with Duo DOK.
