UMONIUM³⁸

• UMONIUM³⁸ has no serious side effects.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-toxic; the pure product is lethal in doses of only 5840 mg/kg (DL50 by mouth in rats).
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-irritant in aqueous solution.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-sensitising in concentrated form, so contact of the pure product with skin is not harmful.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-harmful to the respiratory system; it does not generate toxic vapours in a soak tank.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-flammable, so it is not harmful in wet wiping or soaking.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-polluting to the environment and is fully biodegradable (tested according to the OECD 301B method).
• UMONIUM³⁸  is a highly effective cleaner-degreaser. UMONIUM³⁸ dissolves biofilm, penetrates organic dirt layers, resolves lipids, transports grease in waste water by emulsion, enables effective rinsing. In this way it eliminates infectious sites.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is neutral: chemically inert (pH: 7), the formula is neither acid nor alkali. This UMONIUM³⁸ molecule is non-corrosive and thus not harmful during soaking of instruments or wet wiping of equipment.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is extremely stable, lthe non-volatile active principles are highly stable.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is a highly concentrated disinfectant (Master, Instruments, Equipment), and can be used in 0.5% to 2.5% solutions, even 5% in some cases.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is also a ready-to-use disinfectant (Medical Spray), no training or controls are needed to use it. It guarantees effective disinfection.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is non-coagulating. It does not solidify traces of blood and other organic matter. It is therefore very useful in washing (removal of organic residues) of multiple channels and cannulae in endoscopy.
• UMONIUM³⁸ has no corrosive effects, even in long-term soaking.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is fully compatible with medical equipment materials, such as rubber, silicone, plastics, Perspex, glass, stainless steel, aluminium, etc.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is powerful: UMONIUM³⁸ is a broad spectrum disinfectant; it develops high performance bactericidal, mycobactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and sporicidal activities. These statements are supported by the results of analyses carried out in external independent laboratories according to current European standards (EN 1040 - EN 1275 - EN 1276 - EN 1650 - EN 13697 - EN 14476).
• UMONIUM³⁸ is sterilising: in addition to its low, intermediate and high level disinfectant properties, studies have shown sporicidal action under specific conditions of time, concentration and temperature. If you need any more information, please contact us.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is pleasant, reinforced with natural essential oils, it brings a pleasant freshness to places where treatment is carried out. It is greatly appreciated in poorly ventilated areas.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is safe: only very mildly toxic, non-polluting, UMONIUM³⁸ does not give off any noxious vapour; the pure product is only mildly irritating to the skin during prolonged contact; toxicity by ingestion is extremely low (DL50 by mouth in rats: 5840 mg/kg).
• UMONIUM³⁸ is well known: used by leading institutions in the medical world, it has been the subject of publication and testing in many countries.
• It is evident that UMONIUM³⁸ disinfects surfaces effectively; a microbiological check with a Petri dish (TSA) demonstrates the absence of germs after treatment.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is reliable: Its formula is extremely stable. The active principles are non-volatile and stand up well to long-term storage, so UMONIUM³⁸ performance is guaranteed for 36 months. What is more, even in interference situations (accidental presence of dirt), UMONIUM³⁸ retains its disinfectant power.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is secure: manufactured according to an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 (medical devices) certified quality system, the Huckert’s International manufacturing laboratory guarantees consistent product quality and full batch traceability.
• UMONIUM³⁸ is the best tool for combatting nosocomial infections.

Let’s work together for a better world.

HOW TO USE UMONIUM³⁸

Golden rule :

Whichever disinfectant is used, for effective disinfection it needs to be applied to clean equipment or surfaces, which means completely free of any organic matter. Then the product dosage needs to be exact and the contact time required by the manufacturer needs to be respected.
Ignoring this basic rule results in incomplete disinfection and a risk of micro-organisms mutating into multi-resistant pathogenic germs.

UMONIUM³⁸ can be used manually or by machine :

• by soaking: for pre-disinfection of instruments (washing) and disinfection up to sterilisation grade.
• By wet wiping
• By spraying
• By liquid circulation
• By foam projection
• By fumigation

UMONIUM³⁸ is suitable, among other things, for disinfecting :

• angiographs
• diathermic snares
• anoscopes
• arteriographs
• bistouries

• colposcopes
• duodenoscopes
• echographs
• endoscopes
• enteroscopes
• flowmeters
• defibrillators
