Viruton® Pulver: A Disinfectant Powder for Medical Devices

Medisept Sp from Poland has developed Viruton® Pulver, a modern generation preparation for cleaning and high-level disinfection of invasive and non-invasive medical devices. This product is suitable for use on surgical and dental instruments, endoscopes, surgical probes, ventilator tubes and other anesthetic equipment, as well as the surfaces of medical equipment such as incubators. It can be used manually, in ultrasonic cleaners, automatic machines and in endoscope washers.

How to Use Viruton® Pulver?

To use this disinfectant powder, measure the appropriate amount of water at a temperature of 25-30 °C, then use the attached measuring cup to add the correct amount of powder, mix the solution, cover and leave it to activate for 15 minutes. After this time, mix the solution again. The use of warm water (temperature 35 °C) will speed up the dissolution of the powder. Small residues on the bottom guarantee the stability of the solution over time. For cleaning and disinfection of instruments and endoscopes, immerse instruments thoroughly, ensuring that they are completely filled with a solution of all elements and channels of medical equipment. After the specified operating time (10 minutes or 30 minutes depending on the selected concentration), the instruments are removed from the solution and rinsed with drinking water, sterile distilled water or demineralized water. Change the solution daily. For cleaning and disinfection of the surface, spray the surfaces of medical equipment with a 1% solution or wipe with a cloth and leave to act for 10 minutes. The product leaves a white residue on the disinfected surface, therefore it is recommended to wipe the residue with a disposable towel after disinfection. For cleaning and disinfection of incubators, detailed instructions for disinfecting incubators are available.
