Surface disinfectant

Disinfecting surfaces in healthcare facilities is not simply a matter of maintenance: it is a regulatory obligation governed by the recommendations of the CPIAS (Support Center for the Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections) and the protocols of the CLINs (Committees for the Fight Against Nosocomial Infections). In practice, two disinfection cycles coexist in healthcare facilities: routine disinfection between each patient or consultation, and thorough disinfection at the end of a shift or during an outbreak. Ready-to-use products such as Aniospray Quick or the Exeol Surf 30 and 60 ranges are designed for routine disinfection: application by spray, contact time respected according to the technical data sheet, without rinsing. They eliminate multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB), enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, and fungi in a few minutes, in accordance with the EN 14885 standard.

Which surfaces should be treated as a priority in your establishment?

High-touch surfaces should be disinfected first after each patient or procedure: work surfaces, examination tables, dental chairs, armrests, door handles, keyboards, and touchscreens. These contact points account for the majority of cross-transmission between patients. In a medical or dental practice, the instrument tray, the practitioner's chair, and the operating light are among the areas requiring systematic treatment. In nursing homes, hallway handrails, grab bars, and bathroom surfaces are classified as high-risk. The 1L spray is ideal for these targeted daily applications: easy to use and precisely measured, it prevents any waste.

Check the effectiveness of disinfection with the 3M CleanTrace tester

Visual disinfection alone is insufficient to guarantee surface decontamination. The 3M CleanTrace Surface Protein Tester objectively measures the presence of protein residues after disinfection and is a reliable indicator of residual contamination using ATP bioluminescence. This monitoring system is particularly recommended for operating rooms, intensive care units, and dental implant practices, where hygiene standards are paramount. It integrates seamlessly into traceability protocols and allows for documenting procedural compliance for quality audits or HAS certifications.

1L spray or 5L container: which format is right for your needs?

The format determines both everyday practicality and cost. The 1L spray, available in Aniospray Quick and Exeol Surf 30 or 60, is designed for precise, mobile use: ideal for independent practitioners (general practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists) or small facilities with a low volume of surfaces treated per day. The 5L container is intended for high-volume facilities such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and analytical laboratories where disinfection is carried out continuously by dedicated teams. It allows for cost-effective refilling of the spray bottles and reduces plastic waste. Both formats are available from Voussert for immediate stock, allowing you to tailor your supply to your facility's actual consumption.
