Sporicidial wipes

[Robert Robinson]

Hi all

I’m interested to hear from the list if anyone uses or has comments on
sporicidial wipes for high level disinfection of non lumened medical
devices. I have heard (but not confirmed) these are being used in some
Australian hospitals. I’m only aware of one company that has TGA
approval for their use in Australia.

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi Robert,

We are currently considering Tristel wipes for our transvaginal &
transrectal ultrasound probes.

They are relatively new on the Australian market. TGA approval from May
2011 for disinfection of semi-critical items.

Ashmed Pty Ltd is the supplier (1300 680 898).

They had a stand at the APSIC conference.

Robert,

Can you be more specific about they type of non lumened medical devices
your mention?

Also in terms of “TGA approval” can you be more specific as the claims
that can be made for TGA Sterilants and Disinfectants for a ” TGA listed”
product and “TGA registered” product are different.

See the TGA “Guidelines for the Evaluation of Sterilants and
Disinfectants” – pages 62-65 for guidance at

Hi Robert,

We will be implementing Tristel wipes for use on our nasoendoscopes in
the Outpatients Department in the coming weeks. We will be using them
because we have issues with the automatic disinfector currently being
used in this area. We feel they would also be of benefit for when the
doctors take these scopes to the wards to use (possibly several times)
before returning to endoscopy for cleaning and disinfection – so we will
explore this avenue as well.

Regards,
Donna.

Glenys,

The ” TGA listed” product and “TGA registered” product refers to
medicines and not to medical devices. The product mentioned previously
meets the criteria under medical devices. Is there something else on
the certificate that would identify it as appropriate on not appropriate
in relation to the company’s claims?
