Tristel DUO is a chlorine dioxide (ClO2) foam for the disinfection of non-invasive ultrasound transducers, transducer holders, cables, keyboards, and ultrasound stations.
Tristel DUO can be used on hard non-porous surfaces of other medical devices, for example colposcopes, mammography compressor plates, dialysis machines, and blood pressure cuffs.
Tristel DUO is:
Tristel DUO is delivered in a novel dosing bottle. Tristel DUO Part A (sodium chlorite) and Part B (citric acid) are mixed when dispensed to generate 320 ppm chlorine dioxide. Each press of the pump delivers a consistent dose of chlorine dioxide foam, ensuring each patient receives the same level of protection.
Tristel DUO is effective in a maximum contact time of 2 minutes, cutting reprocessing time in more than half and allowing you to see more patients. In contrast, many commonly used pre-wetted wipes and sprays need as long as 10 minutes to be effective.
Tristel DUO is compact and can follow the ultrasound probe, enabling quick device decontamination at the point of care. Compact design is not synonymous with small: each Tristel DUO bottle delivers approximately 310 doses of chlorine dioxide foam.
Tristel DUO foam can be spread on a surface using a variety of dry wipes, allowing the user the convenience of choice.
Due to its compact size and portability, Tristel DUO is easy to implement in a wide variety of areas where ultrasound is performed.
Tristel DUO utilises Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide formulation. The chemical symbol for chlorine dioxide is ClO2.
ClO2 is a powerful oxidizing agent that packs a punch. It destroys pathogens via electron exchange, sequestering electrons from the microorganism’s vital structures such as cell walls, membranes, organelles, and genetic materials. This causes a molecular imbalance leading to the microorganism’s death. This mode of action makes ClO2 highly effective, even at low concentrations.
Tristel DUO is effective against:
*VIRUSES (30-Second Contact Time)
MYCOBACTERIA (1-Minute Contact Time)
FUNGI (1-Minute Contact Time)
MULTI-DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIA (2-Minute Contact Time)
DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIA (2 Minute Contact Time)
BACTERIA (2-Minute Contact Time)
Breaks down Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).
+KILLS HIV-1 AND HBV ON PRE-CLEANED ENVIRONMENTAL SURFACES/OBJECTS PREVIOUSLY SOILED WITH BLOOD/ BODY FLUIDS
in health care settings or other settings in which there is an expected likelihood of soiling of inanimate surfaces/objects with blood/body fluids and in which the surfaces/objects likely to be soiled with blood/body fluids can be associated with the potential for transmission of HIV-1 (associated with AIDS) and HBV.
Tristel Duo is included in the following lists of antimicrobial products registered by EPA and is effective against common pathogens, as indicated in the list titles. EPA-registered antimicrobial products may not make efficacy claims against these pathogens unless the Agency has reviewed data to support the claim and approved the claim on the label.
*When rare or novel viruses cause outbreaks of disease, there may be few if any disinfectants that have been tested and registered for use against that specific pathogen. To prepare for situations like these, EPA created the EVP guidance a voluntary process which allows disinfectant manufacturers to submit data to EPA demonstrating a product’s efficacy against difficult-to-inactivate viruses. In the event of an outbreak that meets certain criteria, EPA triggers the EVP guidance for a specific virus. In doing so, EPA authorizes companies whose products have EVP claims to make statements on their websites, social media, and technical literature about their product’s expected efficacy against the emerging virus.
Tristel DUO has been tested and confirmed to be compatible by major manufacturers, including:

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING AND DECONTAMINATION AGAINST HIV-1 AND HBV ON SURFACES/OBJECTS SOILED WITH BLOOD/BODY FLUIDS.
Personal Protection
When handling items soiled with blood or body fluids, use disposable latex gloves, gown, masks and/or eye coverings.
Cleaning Procedure
Blood/Body fluids must be thoroughly cleaned from surfaces and objects before application of Tristel DUO.
Contact Time
Allow surfaces to remain visibly wet for 30 seconds. This contact time will not control other common types of viruses and bacteria.
Disposal of Infectious Material
Blood and other body fluids should be autoclaved and disposed of according to local regulations for infectious waste disposal.
