| Application | Alcohol-based products remove organisms more effectively. They require less time and irritate the skin less often than hand washing with soap and other antiseptic agents and water. Some enveloped (lipophilic) viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV ), HIV, influenza virus, RSV, and vaccinia virus are susceptible to alcohol when tested in vitro. Other enveloped viruses that are somewhat less susceptible, but are killed by 60 to 70% alcohol, including hepatitis B virus (HBV ) and probably hepatitis C virus. Inactivation of naked (non- enveloped) viruses is influenced by temperature, the ratio of disinfectant to virus volume, and protein load. If hands feel dry after being rubbed together for less time 10 to 15 seconds, it is likely that an insufficient volume of the product was applied. Washing hands regularly with soap and water immediately before and after using an alcohol-based product is not only unnecessary but may lead to dermatitis |
| Usage | Biocel's Alcohol Sanitiser Gel has excellent in vitro germicidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative vegetative bacteria. This includes multidrug-resistant pathogens such as MRSA and VRE, M. tuberculosis, and a variety of fungi. Alcohols are not good cleansing agents and their use is not recommended when hands are dirty or visibly contaminated with soil. When relatively small amounts of soil present, Biocel’s Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel may reduce viable bacterial counts on hands, but does not obviate the need for handwashing with water and soap whenever such contamination occurs. |
| Additional Information | Dermal tolerance is one of the main parameters leading to product acceptability that directly influences compliance with hand hygiene. Dermal tolerance of alcohol-based hand rubs is related to the addition of the quality of the emollient in the product. According to EN 13727:2012+A2:2015, Biocel Alcohol Hand Gel possesses bactericidal activity against all of the referenced strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Eschericia Coli K12, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus hirae, when tested neat with a contact time of 30 seconds at 20C under clean conditions. According to EN 13624:2013, Biocel Alcohol Hand Gel possesses yeasticidal activity against the referenced strain of Candida albicans, when tested neat with a contact time of 30 seconds at 20C under clean conditions. |
| Safety | Bear in mind alcohols such as Biocel’s Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel while rapidly germicidal when applied to the skin, has no appreciable persistent (residual) activity. Regrowth of bacteria on the skin occurs slowly after use of alcohol-based hand antiseptics, because of the sub-lethal effect alcohols has on some of the skin bacteria. Alcohols are flammable, and handling alcohol-based preparations should respect safety standards because alcohol is more volatile, container should be kept closed to ensure evaporation is minimised and initial concentration is preserved. At present, alcohol-based hand rubs are the only known means for rapidly and effectively inactivating a wide array of potentially harmful microorganisms on hands. WHO recommends alcohol-based hand rubs. WHO recommended hand drop formulation? Contains > 70% Ethanol, along with Glycerol, and Hydrogen Peroxide For external use only Avoid contact with eyes Keep out of reach of children Use: Apply a palm-full of Biocel's Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel and cover all surfaces of the hands. Rub hands until dry. Flammable: Keep away from flame and heat |
