Steris announces the addition of disinfection and virucidal activity claims
Steris has announced the addition of disinfection and virucidal activity claims in the United States for CIP 200 Acid-Based Cleaner and Disinfectant. The new label claims are the result of extensive testing and development.
CIP 200 Acid-Based Cleaner and Disinfectant has received the following biocidal claims on washable, hard, nonporous surfaces in the presence of 5% organic soil (serum) when used at a 1% concentration of product:
- Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) in 10 minutes at or above 60°C.
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442) in 10 minutes at or above 60°C.
Additionally, CIP 200 Acid-Based Cleaner and Disinfectant is effective against Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) when used at a 1% concentration of product per gallon of deionised water in 5% blood serum at 60°C for a contact time of 10 minutes.
The product has been available in the USa since the start of January. Meanwhile, CIP 200 Acid-Based Process and Research Cleaner will continue to be available globally. For US-based customers currently using CIP 200 Acid-Based Process and Research Cleaner, the transition to CIP 200 Acid-Based Cleaner and Disinfectant does not impact the formulation of the product and will not require requalification or revalidation.
