Frequently asked questions
Which pathogens are targeted by the rapid 1-minute kill time?
Metrex CaviWipes1 are formulated for rapid, one-step cleaning and disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces, achieving efficacy against a broad range of pathogens within just one minute. They are also fragrance-free and bleach-free.
1-Minute Efficacy Claims
The 1-minute contact time satisfies Tuberculocidal, Bactericidal, and Virucidal claims against many critical pathogens, including:
- Tuberculosis: Mycobacterium tuberculosis var: bovis (BCG).
- Viruses: Key enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and HIV-1.
- Drug-Resistant Bacteria: Multiple strains of resistant bacteria, such as MRSA, VRE, and CRKP.
Note: A longer 3-minute contact time is required for efficacy against the non-enveloped virus Adenovirus Type 5 and the fungus Trichophyton interdigitale.
Do these wipes offer rapid 1-minute disinfection?
Yes, Metrex CaviWipes1 provide rapid, one-step cleaning and disinfection, saturated with CaviCide1 solution. They are EPA List N compliant and designed for quick turnaround times.
Efficacy Contact Times
- 1-Minute Kill Time: Effective against a broad spectrum of dangerous pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), HBV, HCV, HIV-1, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), Candida albicans, and multidrug-resistant organisms like MRSA and VRE.
- 3-Minute Kill Time: Required for specific non-enveloped viruses (such as Adenovirus Type 5) and the fungus Trichophyton interdigitale.
Are CaviWipes1 EPA compliant for SARS-CoV-2?
Yes, CaviWipes1 are EPA List N compliant, which confirms they meet the criteria for use against emerging viral pathogens, including the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the cause of COVID-19).
These wipes offer excellent efficacy:
