Hospital Disinfection - FIX+ViralFX™
FIX+ViralFX™ is a unique specially formulated broad spectrum disinfectant for disinfection in hospital facilities. The broad spectrum formulation of FIX+ViralFX™ is unique. No other disinfectant has the same powerful composition or extensive portfolio of performance and safety testing data. FIX+ViralFX™ combines application flexibility with broad spectrum efficacy, on hard surfaces, and in the face of organic challenge. These qualities make FIX+ViralFX™ the disinfectant of choice for use in medical facilities, pathology and biosafety containment laboratories, treatment salons and residential homes.
Superior Operator Safety Profile
FIX+ViralFX™ has fewer handling and use constraints than many other disinfectant products and is not classified as harmful or a sensitiser in both powdered form and in-use dilutions, in accordance with the classification and labelling of chemical preparations.
Environmental Profile
The FIX+ViralFX™ oxygen-based chemistry contains simple organic salts and organic acids and the active ingredient decomposes by a variety of routes within the environment, in soil and water, breaking down to form the naturally occurring substances, potassium salts and oxygen. The major organic components are classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD and EU tests.
FIX+ViralFX™ is not classified as R53* and is not persistent in the environment, according to the standard European process for the classification and labelling of chemical preparations. Independent studies have shown that diluted FIX+ViralFX™ should not, when used as directed,pose any threat to sewage treatment facilities.
Mode Of Action
FIX+ViralFX™ oxidizes key structures and compounds, such as proteins, leading to widespread, irreversible damage and subsequent deactivation/destruction of the microorganism. There is no evidence to suggest that bacterial disease-causing organisms develop resistance towards FIX+ViralFX™ as opposed to some other disinfectant types.
*May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
