COMPOSITION
The core actives of all the disinfectant products are quaternary ammonium compound, with non toxic ampholytic surfactants and sequestrants.

* The pH value refers to the packed concentration

INDICATIONS

A broad spectrum biocide effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses and bacterial and fungal spores is indicative of those shown below:-

*FMDV is effectively eliminated with the pH buffered product F10CL General Farm Disinfectant

APPLICATIONS

The core product F1OCL VETERINARY DISINFECTANT is a high performance surface acting biocidal compound and due to its inherently low toxicity and low irritation characteristics is widely used within the veterinary profession in companion and large animal practices, referral hospitals, zoo’s, laboratories, and various other institutions. It is used in numerous applications, i.e. cold sterilisation of instruments and equipment including endoscopes, intravenous catheters, and endotracheal tubes; high level disinfection of hard surfaces and air spaces, water treatment, and as a sanitising rinse for solid food and fruit. Fogging with F10CL VETERINARY DISINFECTANT, (a spray of fine mist-like droplets) has been shown to be 100% effective in eliminating airborne micro­organisms.

F10 DISINFECTANT PRODUCTS (F10 ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION which is authorised by the VMD* and FDA**) for use in aerosol fogging applications in the presence of animals as well as a number of clinical applications including nebulising in respiratory tract Aspergillosis infections, wound irrigation, and nasal flushing.
*VMD Schedule 6,SAES , **FDA MUMS Index.

F10 DISINFECTANT RTU is a 1:50 pre-diluted solution of F10CL Veterinary Disinfectant for HLD (high level disinfection).

F1OCLXD VETERINARY DISINFECTANT/CLEANSER is used for hard surface disinfection and cleaning of lightly soiled areas such as kennels and cages.

F10 SKIN PREP SOLUTION is a pre-op skin decontaminant.

F10 ODOUR ELIMINATOR is a hard surface and aerosol high level disinfectant with a masking pine fragrance.

F10 AEROSOL DISINFECTANT is available with on/off and total evacuation actuators for use as a hard surface and air space disinfectant. Tests have shown that aerosol disinfection is an effective method of carrying out high level disinfection of air spaces.

F10 WIPES are a disinfectant impregnated surface wipe for use on equipment such as thermometers, and for hand decontamination when washing facilities are unavailable.

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION

The antimicrobial action mechanism of the F10 branded disinfectants is taken from each component separately but in addition is due to the additive synergistic action of all components combined.

Bactericidal tests have been carried out in accordance with EN1276 having a performance pass criteria of log³ reduction in microbial counts, the AFNOR Standard (French) which is a log⁴ reduction in microbial counts, the European Union EN Standard which is a log⁵ reduction in microbial counts, and the AOAC Standard (USA) which is a log⁶ (1,000,000 times) reduction in microbial counts. MIC in-vitro tests have shown significant depth of performance as indicated. Generally testing was carried out at ambient temperatures with the exception of EN Standard tests where some were carried out at low temperatures 10°C. The EN Standard for low temperatures is 10°C and at this temperatures bactericidal performance was equal to that at ambient temperatures. Other tests carried out at elevated temperatures of 45°C showed a significant increase in performance.
