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
http://www.tga.gov.au/industry/disinfectants-evaluation-guidelines.htm

Hi all
Im 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. Im only aware of one company that has TGA approval
for their use in Australia.
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
