In a medical or pharmaceutical environment, disinfection is much more than a habit: it's a regulatory requirement, a protective reflex, and a marker of trust. However, not all disinfectant wipes are created equal.
For pharmaceutical groups, laboratories or healthcare establishments, the choice of a effective, tolerable disinfectant wipe that complies with European standards is essential. But how do you identify the right product among the plethora of offers on the market?
As a manufacturer of white label wet wipes, Smart Agents Healthcare supports professionals in the development of customized, reliable and certified disinfection solutionsHere are the keys to making the right choice.
The essential criteria for a good professional disinfectant wipe
The first reflex to adopt is not to confuse cleaning wipe, disinfectant wipe And antiseptic wipeA true professional disinfectant wipe must meet specific criteria.
1. A verified biocidal action
The wipe must eliminate the targeted microorganisms according to specific standards. Here are the main standards to know:
- IN 1276 : bactericidal efficacy
- IN 1650 : fungicidal efficacy
- EN 14476 : virucidal efficacy
- EN 13727 : disinfection of surfaces in the medical sector
So the best disinfectant wipe is the one that clearly displays the tested and validated standards, with a short contact time (<1 minute ideally).
2. Impeccable skin tolerance
In a professional environment, wipes can be used several times a day. A good disinfectant wipe should:
- be dermatologically tested
- not to irritate the skin even with repeated use
- be without alcohol or perfume if used on fragile skin
3. A formula adapted to the use
There are specific formulas:
- Wipes based onalcohol : rapid disinfection of non-sensitive surfaces
- Wipes alcohol-free : skin use, sensitive equipment, furniture
- Wipes to chlorhexidine base, quaternary ammonium or hydrogen peroxide as needed
4. A practical format
For professionals, the format matters as much as the formula:
- Individual sachets : practical for visits or travel
- Resealable boxes : use on counters, treatment rooms
- Soft refills : cost optimization for intensive use
In which professional contexts should disinfectant wipes be used?
The right product also depends on its usage environment.
In pharmacy
- Cleaning the counter between each patient
- Rapid disinfection of payment terminals
- Hand hygiene in addition to hydroalcoholic gel
In the laboratory
- Disinfection of equipment (scales, work surfaces)
- Preparation of packaging areas
In care establishments (EHPAD, clinics)
- Disinfection of beds, handles, non-invasive medical devices
- Disinfection of the hands of caregivers or visitors
- Temporary replacement for water washing
On the move
- Healthcare logistics sectors, medical deliveries
- Home pharmacists, independent nurses
A good disinfectant wipe is therefore suitable for multiple uses, while remaining compliant with the standards and tolerance required in a medical environment.
