1. What is CA2C200?
Clinell Alcoholic 2% Chlorhexidine is a disposable disinfection wipe for medical devices presaturated with 70% alcohol and 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate.
2. What is CA2C200 used for?
It is used to disinfect medical devices specifically designed for - catheter hubs and ports, needle free devices, cannulas, blood culture bottle tops, etc.
3. Can CA2C200 be used on skin?
No. CA2C200 can only be sued on medical devices. If you use the wipe on skin you are using the product against its recommendations.
4. Is the wipe sterile?
No. The wipes are not sterile. There are a couple of reasons for this:
- Chlorhexidine is very difficult to sterilise as the sterilisation process breaks down the molecule, becuase of this you will find all other 2% Chlorhexidine Wipes on the market are not sterile either.
- There is no real need for this type of product to be sterile as it is antibacterial.
5. How consistent is the percentage of Chlorhexidine available from the wipe?
Every batch of wipes is tested at an independent UKAS accredited laboratory to have a concentration of between 2-3% Chlorhexidine, the reason for having this slightly more than 2% is twofold:
- You need to allow for some degree of adsorption on to surfaces and de-activation by hand soaps to deliver a tru 2% Chlorhexidine.
- Over time Chlorhexidine breaks down so you need to be above 2% to guarantee a 2 year shelf life.
6. Is the product latex free?
Yes. We can send you a declaration if you wish.
7. Can you sterilise the wipes?
The wipes cannot be sterilised as this will break down the Chlorhexidine in the product.
The sachets are safe to be ETO sterilised, but this method would only sterilise the outside of the sachet. The foil sachet isnot permeable and thus ETO sterilisation would not penetrate the sachet.
