Rutala AJIC June 2010 Role of the Environment

This article focuses on the role of surface contamination in the transmission of 3 emerging nosocomialpathogens: Norovirus, C. difficile, and Acinetobacter spp and literature supporting the use of EPA registered disinfectants for helping to control environmental transmission.

AJIC – Omidbakhsh Sporicidal Activity of Surface Disinfectants Nov 2010

Available and fast-acting sporicides are generally corrosive and unsafe for both humans and the environment. The objective of the study was to compare a newly developed AHP-based Surface Sporicidal Agent that carries superior occupational health and compatibility profiles with to differing concentrations of Chlorine bleach.

Modeling microbial survival in buildup biofilm for complex medical devices

This study compares the disinfectant efficacy and microbial eradication of oxidizing-based disinfectant chemistries such as Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide and cross-linking agents such as gluteraldehyde against both traditional and build-up biofilm.

Identification by Quantitative Carrier Test of Surrogate Spore-Forming Bacteria To assess Sporicidal Chemicals for Use against Bacillus anthracis

Six strains of Bacillus anthracis (four virulent and two avirulent) were compared with four other types of spore-forming bacteria for their resistance to liquid chemical sporicides (sodium hypochlorite, accelerated hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide and peracetic acid).

An Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide Based Microbicide for Manual Disinfection of Heat Sensitive Semi-Critical Medical Devices

The focus of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity, stability and materials compatibility of a newly-developed AHP-based high level disinfectant in simulated reuse conditions.

Is skin irritancy of the hand wash products solely related to their pH?

The study was designed to dispel the long-held notion that pH levels were directly related to skin irritancy through a scientific examination of the effects of pH on skin of five formulations.

A new peroxide-based flexible endoscope-compatible high-level disinfectant

This article summarizes the efficacy, safety and materials compatibility of a 2% AHP-based high level disinfectant that is compatible with flexible endoscopes.
