Tristel Duo OPH
Tristel Duo OPH is an effective, fast and compliant high-level disinfectant for ophthalmic and optometry medical devices.
Within ophthalmology and optometry, clinicians are required to ensure the highest level of infection control is adhered to. However, eye care is often viewed as a low-risk area where a low-level disinfectant will be suitable, resulting in inadequate device disinfection.

Description
Tristel Duo OPH is an effective, fast and compliant high-level disinfectant for ophthalmic and optometry medical devices.
Within ophthalmology and optometry, clinicians are required to ensure the highest level of infection control is adhered to. However, eye care is often viewed as a low-risk area where a low-level disinfectant will be suitable, resulting in inadequate device disinfection.
Achieving high levels of efficacy at a low concentration, the disinfectant kills microorganisms of concern including SARS-CoV-2 and adenoviruses in 30 seconds. This short contact time enables quick reprocessing of medical devices at point of use, increasing patient throughput.
Applications
Use to high-level disinfect ophthalmic and optometry medical devices including:
- Diagnostic contact lenses
- Laser contact lenses
- Tonometer prisms
- Ophthalmic ultrasound probes, including A-scan and B-scan ultrasound probes
- Pachymeters
Compatibility
Tested and proven to be compatible with the instruments of major manufacturers including Haag-Streit, Ellex, Volk, Quantel Medical, Accutome (Keeler) and Reichert / Ametek.

Traceability
Keep track of each disinfection procedure with Tristel 3T™.
Tristel 3T™ is the digital traceability system that makes tracking each decontamination procedure secure, fast, accurate and smart.
Chemistry
Tristel Duo OPH utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide.
The bottle 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.
Efficacy
A high-level disinfectant, it is proven effective against a wide range of microorganisms in 30 seconds, including:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Acanthamoeba castellanii (one of the causative organisms of Acanthamoeba keratitis)
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRE)
- Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE)
- Candida albicans
- Aspergillus brasiliensis
- Adenovirus (responsible for adenoviral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis)
- Herpes Simplex Virus type 1
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
The product has been independently tested and meets European Norm requirements within EN 14885 and the latest efficacy standards for the medical area.
It passes local regulatory requirements for Australia and New Zealand. Other approvals include Israel, India, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Product Options
Available in packs of two, each bottle 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 with the low absorbing Duo Wipes.
The product can fit inside a pocket or bag. Alternatively, keep the bottle within reach with Duo DOK.
