Alcohol wipes/spray

Hello,
I have just got some fresh information regarding wipes.
"received incident reports relating to detergent and
disinfectant wipes that have degraded plastic surfaces of medical devices and affected their performance
and integrity. "
So, we have to wait for the final word in this case.

6.74 For blood spillages, care should be taken to
observe a protocol that ensures protection against
infection. The use of 1% sodium hypochlorite is
recommended with a yield of at least 1000 ppm
free chlorine (unless PCT policy suggests
otherwise). Contact times should be reasonably
prolonged (not less than five minutes). A higher
free chlorine yield of up to 10,000 ppm is useful,
particularly for splash contamination. The process
should be initiated quickly and care should be
taken to avoid corrosive damage to metal fittings
etc. The use of alcohol within the same
decontamination process is not advised.

Hi

In hospital and community we only use detergent wipes to wipe our surfaces and chair and only use alcohol wipes for wiping blood. This was information from our infection control nurses.

From the good old HTM 01-05:
6.57 Evidence suggests that the use of commercial
bactericidal cleaning agents and wipes is helpful in
maintaining cleanliness and may also reduce viral
contamination of surfaces. Care should be taken in
the use of alcohol wipes, which – though effective
against viruses on clean surfaces – may fix protein
and biofilm. However, the careful use of water with
suitable detergents, including those CE-marked for
clinical use, is satisfactory provided the surface is
dried after such cleaning.
Note
Alcohol has been shown to bind blood and protein
to stainless steel. The use of alcohol with dental
instruments should therefore be avoided.

Are we not ment to use alcohol based products for disinfecting our surfaces/chair etc any more offically?
