Frequently asked questions
Does this gel effectively protect delicate surgical instruments?
Yes, Pre-Klenz Gel RTU is specifically formulated with a neutral pH and includes specialized corrosion inhibitors. These ingredients work together to safeguard the integrity of your instruments during the transition from the procedure room to the sterile processing department.
Can this help prevent bioburden from drying on tools?
Absolutely. One of its primary functions is to maintain moisture levels on soiled instruments. By effectively coating the bioburden immediately after use, it prevents soils from hardening, which makes the final decontamination process significantly faster and more efficient.
Does this solution improve safety during instrument transport?
Yes, it is designed to enhance logistics in high-paced environments:
- Minimized Exposure: The spray bottle application reduces the need for direct handling of soiled instruments.
- Splatter Reduction: The gel consistency is designed to minimize splashing and accidental exposure for staff moving equipment between departments.
Is this product convenient for point-of-use cleaning?
It is highly optimized for clinical efficiency. Because it is a ready-to-use (RTU) formula, there is no mixing required. Staff can simply apply it via the spray bottle directly at the point of use, initiating the pre-cleaning process instantly.
What kind of scent should I expect?
The formula features a pleasant Floral Citrus scent, designed to neutralize odors in a clinical setting while remaining professional and unobtrusive.
Is this safe to use on various types of surgical tools?
Pre-Klenz is designed for use on professional surgical instrumentation. Its neutral pH formula ensures that it remains gentle on high-value tools while still being highly effective at lifting and suspending soils for easier removal later.
Does the gel formula help with weight reduction during transport?
Yes, by effectively initiating the cleaning process at the point of use, the formula helps in managing logistics and can assist in reducing transport weight and bulkiness associated with manual pre-cleaning setups.
How should I store this for maximum effectiveness?
While the high-density polyethylene bottle is designed for a busy clinical environment, it is best kept in an accessible area within the operating room or sterile supply department. Always refer to the product safety data sheet for specific handling and storage requirements to ensure product longevity.
Are there surfactants included in the formula?
Yes, the solution is enriched with advanced surfactants. These are essential for penetrating and breaking down organic soils, ensuring the instruments are pre-treated thoroughly before reaching the automated cleaning stage.
Is this compatible with automated processing systems?
Yes, Pre-Klenz Gel RTU is specifically engineered to prepare instruments for automated processing. By keeping soils moist and loosened, it ensures that your automated washers can perform their task much more effectively than if the bioburden were allowed to dry.
