UMONIUM38® NEUTRALIS: The High-Level Odourless Detergent-Disinfectant for Severe-Risk Environments
UMONIUM38® Neutralis is a high-level detergent-disinfectant specially developed for clinical and professional use in hospital environments where safety is the top priority. As a premier healthcare resource, this odourless and colourless solution meets the dual challenge of superior performance and absolute safety, making it the ideal choice for hygiene control in neonatology, neonatal rehabilitation, and IVF/AMP laboratory settings.
Protecting What is Most Valuable
This medical device is designed for the cleaning and disinfection of both invasive and non-invasive medical devices, providing a safe environment even for embryos. The formula is validated by the Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) and Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA), ensuring complete safety in the environment of an embryo.
Core Properties:
- High-Level Efficacy: Validated as a bactericide, fungicide, mycobactericide, and virucide.
- Safe Formula: Completely free from CMR components and endocrine disruptors.
- Non-Toxic: No dangerous vapours and non-irritating for the skin (no transdermal toxicity).
- Non-Corrosive: A pH-neutral formula that is 100% compatible with sensitive materials like fibre optics, polycarbonate, and stainless steel.
Proven Broad-Spectrum Protection
This effective product eliminates a wide array of pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA and human coronavirus. Notably, UMONIUM38® Neutralis is highly effective against Neisseria meningitidis. Because it is validated against more resistant reference organisms like P. aeruginosa and E. coli under European standard testing (EN 13727, EN 14561, EN 13697), it provides a superior level of treatment for contaminated surfaces and equipment.
Flexible Formats for Professional Use
Whether you require a concentrate for large-scale disinfection of medical devices or a ready-to-use spray for flash disinfection, Umonium38® Neutralis provides the right resource:
- Neutralis Concentrate: 1L makes up 200L of diluted solution (0.5%) for soak or wet wiping applications.
- Neutralis Spray: Features a dual-function nozzle for foam or fine spray, ideal for the transport of soiled instruments.
- Neutralis Tissues: Sporicidal wipes that do not dry out, perfect for cleaning fragile materials in the presence of premature babies.
Instructions for Use
- Cleaning/Pre-disinfection: Eliminate all dirt, protein, and fat using a 0.5% solution or foam spray.
- Disinfection: For complete treatment, use a 2.5% solution (concentrate) or fine spray with a 5 to 10-minute contact time before sterilisation.
Commitment to Safety and Nature
Umonium38 Neutralis is 99.4% biodegradable and packaged in vegetal plastic. It releases no VOCs, ensuring a healthy atmosphere for both staff and patients in all clinical hospital environments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about UMONIUM38® NEUTRALIS
What is UMONIUM38® NEUTRALIS and where is it used?
UMONIUM38® NEUTRALIS is a high-level odourless detergent-disinfectant specifically developed for severe-risk hospital environments. It is designed for the pre-disinfection and disinfection of surfaces, equipment, and sensitive invasive and non-invasive medical devices in settings such as neonatology, neonatal rehabilitation, IVF/AMP laboratories, and obstetrics.
Is it safe for use in embryonic environments and around newborns?
Yes. It is completely safe and meets reproductive and embryo-toxicity tests. It has been validated by the Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) and Human Sperm Survival Assay (HSSA), ensuring safety in the environment of an embryo. It can also be used in complete safety in the presence of premature babies.
What makes the formula "safe" for staff and patients?
The formula is non-toxic, releases no dangerous vapours, and has no VOC release. It is a pH-neutral, non-corrosive solution that is free from CMR components (carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic), endocrine disruptors, aldehydes, peroxides, and biguanides.
Does UMONIUM38® work against Neisseria meningitidis?
Yes. Scientific assessment concludes that UMONIUM38® products are effective against Neisseria meningitidis. Since N. meningitidis is known to be less resistant than reference organisms like E. coli and P. aeruginosa—against which UMONIUM38® is validated—it is concluded to be effective.
How fast does the product act? Action times vary by product format:
- Neutralis Tissues: Kill germs within 5 seconds.
- Neutralis Spray: Provides "flash disinfection" starting at 30 seconds for specific pathogens.
- Neutralis Concentrate: Requires a minimum contact time of 10 minutes for full disinfection.
What materials is UMONIUM38® compatible with?
It is 100% compatible with a wide range of fragile materials, including fibre optics, polycarbonate, silicone, stainless steel 410, rubber, glass, Pyrex, PVC, and latex. It is non-coagulant and will not damage sensitive instrumentation.
How should I dilute the Neutralis Concentrate?
- For Cleaning/Pre-disinfection: Use a 0.5% solution (25mL per 5L of water).
- For Disinfection: Use a 2.5% solution (25mL per 1L of water). One 1-litre bottle of concentrate makes up 200 litres of diluted cleaning solution.
What are the specific features of the Neutralis Spray?
The spray features a dual-function nozzle that can spray either a foam (ideal for the transport of soiled instruments and cleaning) or a fine spray (for optimal disinfection).
Is the product environmentally friendly?
Yes. UMONIUM38® NEUTRALIS is 99.4% biodegradable. Additionally, it is packaged in vegetable plastic and is non-flammable.
