5. GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE (1)

5.1. Instructions for use

Surfaces must be pre-cleaned and dry before disinfection and cupboard doors and drawers should be opened for the process to be effective.

Users should carry out decontaminations in line with their requirements and operating procedures.

For disinfection of pre-cleaned animal cages/racks within biomedical and animal laboratory facilities, disinfection can only take place on thoroughly cleaned non-porous surfaces (PT3), when possible use automated washing machines.

Do not mix with detergents or other chemicals. Undiluted.

Bioquell HPV-AQ is to be used with a Bioquell vaporisation module as a disinfectant for surfaces and other inanimate objects in enclosures.

Seal the enclosure (e.g. with tape) to ensure no leakage of the vaporised active substance outside the enclosure prior to initiating a cycle.

Refer to the Bioquell HPV-AQ Labelling insert prior to running a cycle.

At the end of the dwell period, the aeration phase is activated which removes the hydrogen peroxide. The aeration phase is deactivated by the user when the enclosure has been confirmed to be less than or equal to 1,25 mg/m3 (0,9 ppm) using an independent calibrated low-level hydrogen peroxide sensor.

Biological validation should be performed for enclosures to be disinfected. Where environmental conditions within an enclosure are well controlled, a protocol for disinfection of the enclosure should be made and used thereafter. Validated quantitative chemical indicators can be used in place of biological indicators for routine disinfection.

Biological or chemical indicators shall be placed in the enclosure to validate the cycle.

Users should not carry out manual cleaning operations (for example sweeping) immediately post-decontamination.

5.2. Risk mitigation measures

No person or animals are allowed to be present in a room during treatment.

Treated areas may not be entered until the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is ≤ 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m3).

The professional user may only enter the room in emergency situations when the hydrogen peroxide level has dropped below 36 ppm (50 mg/m3) considering RPE with APF 40 (Type of RPE to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information) and suitable protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, coverall) must be worn.

Use a calibrated sensor to confirm the enclosure is ≤ 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m3) prior to re-entry.

When opening the container and preparing contents wear suitable personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, coverall).

Wash hands after use.

5.3. Particulars of likely direct or indirect effects, first aid instructions and emergency measures to protect the environment

Possible exposure effects:

Skin – chemical burn – transient, non-permanent whitening of the skin

Eyes – potential for permanent damage

Inhalation - irritation of the throat and nose

IF INHALED: Move to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.

If symptoms: Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.

If no symptoms: Call a POISON CENTRE or a doctor.

Information to Healthcare personnel/doctor:

Initiate life support measures if needed, thereafter call a POISON CENTRE.

IF SWALLOWED: Immediately rinse mouth. Give something to drink, if exposed person is able to swallow. Do NOT induce vomiting. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.

IF ON SKIN: Take off all contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Wash skin with water. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice.

IF IN EYES: Immediately rinse with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Call 112/ambulance for medical assistance.

5.4. Instructions for safe disposal of the product and its packaging

Do not discharge unused product on the ground, into water courses, into pipes (sink, toilets...) nor down the drains. Dispose of unused product, its packaging and all other waste, in accordance with local regulations.

5.5. Conditions of storage and shelf-life of the product under normal conditions of storage

Protect from Frost. Do not store at temperatures above 35 °C.

Shelf life 18 months.
