Viraguard® is a broad-spectrum medium level disinfectant. It is effective against gram negative and gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains such as MRSA and VRE, encapsulated bacteria such as Tuberculosis, Trichophyton Mentagrophytes the fungus responsible for the spread of Athletes Foot, and viruses such as HIV and Herpes. Viraguard® liquid Disinfectant / Cleaner & Instrument Presoak has also been tested and proven effective against other viruses, including Influenza, Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and Cytomegalovirus.

Viraguard® has not been proven effective against spores and is not a sterilant.

Combination disinfecting and cleaning products can be tested for germicidal efficacy in one of two ways. Testing can be done on the organism without an organic load present, or in the presence of a minimum 5% organic load. Where testing is done without an organic load present, the EPA requires that the product label specify that cleaning and disinfection are two separate steps. Where testing is done in the presence of the required organic load, the EPA permits the product label to designate cleaning and disinfection in a single step.

Heavy soil and contamination must always be removed first, regardless of the product being used. Decontamination of an HIV infected surface always requires a pre-cleaning step prior to the use of any disinfecting and/or disinfecting and cleaning product.

Viraguard® was tested in the presence of a 5% organic load and therefore is designated as a “One Step Clean and Disinfect” product.

Because Viraguard® Hospital Disinfectant Towelettes can be used for a “One Step Clean and Disinfect” process, you will need to use fewer Viraguard® towelettes than you will use with most other brands that are not EPA registered as a one step product.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use an EPA registered disinfectant product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. We encourage our customers to read all label directions and to follow the printed instructions for use of Viraguard® and all disinfectants.

The EPA does not permit any disinfectant to be declared “safe” since by definition a disinfectant kills organisms on the surface being treated. Viraguard® is compatible with a wide variety of hard surface materials, including those found in the environments where the product is most likely to be used. If there is a question about compatibility it is always a good idea to test Viraguard® on an inconspicuous area before application over a broader surface.

Viraguard® does not contain any quaternary ammonium compounds, phenols, chlorine, glutaraldehyde, acids, or caustic soda.

Viraguard® is non-staining, and deodorizes the surfaces that it cleans and disinfects.

The same formula that is EPA registered as Viraguard® Hospital Disinfectant / Cleaner & Instrument Presoak, is also FDA drug listed (NDC 64046-104-16) as an Antimicrobial Handwipe.

The EPA recognizes the low toxicity of Viraguard® and therefore does not require any language on the label that suggests that the product should be washed off or otherwise removed from the hands.

When cleaning and disinfecting an area that may contain harmful organisms it is always a good idea to wear gloves to prevent cross contamination between patients or between patients and staff.

Cleaning and disinfecting areas that are suspected to have been contaminated by HIV-1, the AIDS virus, require that full precautions be taken in the cleanup process, including gloves, gown, mask and/or eye coverings.

Viraguard® is not an enzymatic presoak, does not break down blood or tissue on medical instruments, and is not to be used as a terminal sterilant/high level disinfectant. Viraguard® may be used to preclean or decontaminate critical or semi-critical medical devices prior to sterilization or high-level disinfection.

Instruments should be completely immersed in Viraguard® for ten minutes prior to preparation for sterilization.
