G- What is Dwell time?•Dwell time, also known as contact time, is the amount of time a disinfectant must remain visibly wet on a surface to effectively kill specific microorganisms. If dwell time is not met the surface is not disinfected.

has Manufacturer and/or package inserts.
B- What is an IFU:•An IFU is a detailed action-oriented, step by step written instructions provided by manufacturers on how to use a product (including cleaning/reprocessing).
I- Are all dwell times the same?•No, dwell times vary by disinfectant and the intended microorganisms being targeted/killed. You can find the dwell time listed on the disinfectant’s label or on the EPA’s website.
G-A heavily contaminated surface would need more wipes than a surface that is not as contaminated because the effective particles contained within the disinfectant solution will be used up more rapidly.

N-
O-Bleach wipes: 4 minute dwell time
I-The most current IFU must be followed for all items to ensure patient safety. IFUs provide detailed information on what product to use and other special considerations.
B- Instructions for Use, also known as IFU, are detailed action-oriented, step-by-step written instructions provided by manufacturers on how to use a product (including cleaning/reprocessing).
O-
I-Lysol Wipes: 4 Minute dwell time
G-Gray top sani-wipes: 3 minute dwell time
G-
O-What surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected?•Clean and disinfect surfaces and equipment you touch often, as well as in between patient uses. Some examples may include: vital signs equipment, mouses and keyboards, scales, glucometers, soiled
N- How to find IFU: Using the OneSource docs by going to the website: www.onesourcedocs.com and using the login and password: slb. Can also be located by contacting the manufacturer directly OR by looking at the package insert.

N-How many wipes are necessary to disinfect a surface?•There is no rule about how many wipes are necessary per surface, but multiple wipes will be needed to cover larger surfaces.
B- Do I need to let a disinfectant remain wet on a surface before wiping it dry?•Yes, disinfectants must remain wet on surfaces for entire length of the dwell time / contact time, as stated on the label by the manufacturer to ensure microorganisms
G-Dwell time is also known as “contact time” and is the amount of time a disinfectant must remain visibly wet on a surface to effectively kill specific microorganisms. If dwell time is not met, the surface is not disinfected.
I-More on disinfectant: If the disinfectant evaporates from the surface before the dwell time is met the surface should be re-wiped. Once the dwell time has been met, allow the disinfectant to evaporate completely. Surfaces should not be wiped dry
N-
B- If a disinfectant wipe has dried out, will it still disinfect surfaces if I rewet it with a little water?•No, rewetting the wipe will change the dilution ratio of the disinfectant and reduce the effectiveness. Additionally, the disinfectant has

I-When and why we use an IFU for cleaning and reprocessing:•The most current IFU must be followed for all items to ensure patient safety. ..An IFU provides detailed information on what product to use and other special considerations.
O-Dwell times are listed on the disinfectant label or the EPA’s website.
O-Even though a wipe may be wet it may not be as effective over a large/contaminated surface so you will need enough wipes to keep it wet for the defined dwell time.
