Chemistry

The Tristel Sporicidal Wipe utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry, a well-documented and highly effective biocide.

The Tristel Sporicidal Wipe is impregnated with Tristel Base Solution (citric acid) and the Tristel Activator Foam is a dilute solution of sodium chlorite. When mixed upon applying the Activator Foam onto the Wipe and scrunching together, chlorine dioxide chemistry is generated.

Chlorine dioxide does not form hazardous by-products or halogenated compounds and all three Wipes and Activator Foam are classed as non-hazardous under the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP).

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.

Traceability

Complete your decontamination procedure with your choice of two traceability options, the Tristel Quality Audit Trail Record Book or Tristel 3T

The Tristel Quality Audit Trail Record Book is a paper-based traceability system that documents each decontamination procedure.

Tristel 3T is the digital traceability system that makes tracking each decontamination procedure secure, fast, accurate and smart.

Efficacy

The activated Tristel Sporicidal Wipe is a high-level disinfectant and is proven effective against a wide range of microorganisms in 30 seconds, including:

• Human papillomavirus (HPV)

• Bacillus subtilis
• Clostridium sporogenes
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• Mycobacterium avium
• Aspergillus brasiliensis

What is Human papillomavirus (HPV)?

HPV is a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses. There are 14 HPV types that are considered high-risk and are responsible for approximately 99% of cervical cancer cases and over 90% of oropharyngeal cancer cases.

Research conducted by Meyers et al., (2020) demonstrates that the Tristel Sporicidal Wipe is effective against infectious HPV types 16 and 18, on a transvaginal ultrasound probe and a nasendoscope 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

The Tristel Trio Wipes System 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.

The system passes local regulatory requirements for Australia and New Zealand.

It has received a licence from the Health Department of the People’s Republic of China and approval from the Russian Ministry of Health for import and sales in the Russian Federation. Other approvals include Hong Kong, Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
