Advantages of Medentech tablet disinfectants.
Efficacy
Klorsept & Klorkleen have independently proven efficacy as a high level broad spectrum disinfectant in critical care environments. They are more effective than bleach, H2O2, ClO2, Quaternary Ammonium Compounds and PAA even at lower doses. Medentech maintains a very large library of independent studies and reports that are made available to customers.
Residual killing power
Klorsept & Klorkleen are not deactivated by organic matter or cloth as other disinfectants can be.
Shelf–life
Klorsept lasts three years in a tub or five years in strip form. When diluted in water Klorsept retains its power significantly longer than other disinfectants. Klorkleen has a two year shelf life.
Size
Tablets are small and light. They save you transport space, storage space and weight. You can hold enough tablets to make 1000lt of disinfectant in the palm of your hand.
Safety
Klorsept & Klorkleen will not spill or burn as bleach and other chemicals do.
Simple to use & exact, no measuring required.
Just add one tablet to water and you’re done. (Watch them fizz). Liquid concentrates on the other hand are difficult to measure and may be over or (worse still) under dosed.
Cost Effective Disinfection Solution
Klorsept & Klorkleen offer you a cost effective disinfection solution.
Improving patient safety
Kersia effervescent disinfectant tablets are produced in a factory compliant with pharmaceutical industry standards. The tablets provide high-level, broad-spectrum disinfection for rapid removal of bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, spores, viruses and biofilms.
In hospital settings and in healthcare in general, there is a crucial need for good hygiene and effective disinfection of at-risk areas and equipment, based on practical action. Reducing the risk of patient infection in hospitals and clinics is a constant concern for medical staff. Despite preventive measures, nosocomial diseases are responsible for thousands of deaths each year.
Conventional disinfection methods using bleach, hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonia or ultraviolet offer limited effectiveness against dry surface biofilms. These are a real hazard in hospitals as they are where most bacteria live. 93% of all hospital surfaces have been shown to be covered with biofilm; 50% of these contain multidrug-resistant organisms.
Kersia is the world leader in water disinfection tablets with Aquatabs®, providing millions of vulnerable people with access to safe drinking water (click here for more information). Kersia is also a well-known player in hospital hygiene, on the frontline in fighting hospital infections.
A first against biofilms
In 2018, Kersia’s Klorkleen (NaDCC) tablets for fighting biofilms in hospital settings were the first and only product to pass the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new efficacy protocol, with an 8-log reduction in the number of pathogens tested in 4 minutes. The tablets are effective against pathogens such as Clostridium difficile spores, Norovirus, Candida auris, tuberculosis and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).
Kersia products, Klorsept and Klorkleen, are included in the EPA N list of products that meet EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2.
