Remington Medical is introducing virucidal, bactericidal and fungicidal hand disinfectant - Manorapid Synergy DIN: 02248224

After extensive testing of Manorapid Synergy against a broad range of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, Health Canada determined it to be effective against a wide variety of hand transmitted viruses. These among others include: Hepatitis A virus, Norwalk like viruses and Corona viruses. There is no other product on the market today, which can make this claim.

The Manorapid Synergy was specifically developed to inactivate viruses that can be transferred via hand contact with infected patients or contaminated surfaces. The formulation of Manorapid Synergy is based on synergistically active combination of short chain aliphatic alcohols.

The reason for the development of this product was a high demand for the skin compatible antiseptic, used for the hygienic hand disinfection that combines a strong virucidal activity, with short contact time and the flash point in excess of 21.5ºC.

Manorapid Synergy fulfills the above requirements and presents a spectrum of efficacy, that is unequalled by any other product.

Manorapid Synergy has been tested and found effective against the following viruses:
Polio I, Rhinoviruses, Hepatitis A virus, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus, Norwalk like viruses, Adenoviruses, Rotaviruses, Human Papillomaviruses, Simian virus 40, Influenza type A and B, Respiratory Syncitial virus, Vaccinia virus, Corona viruses, Herpes Simplex type I and II and Avian Influenza A virus.

Until present time, the best virucidal alcohol based hand disinfectants contained high concentrations of Ethanol, but even concentrations of 80% by volume, could not effectively inactivate the Hepatitis A virus and Norwalk like viruses in short time of application. Products with concentration of Ethanol in excess of 90% by volume, lead to increased cytotoxicity and resulted in lowering of the flash point to less than 15ºC, making the products difficult to ship and store. Manorapid Synergy uses a combination of several alcohols resulting in a flash point of 21.5°C which makes it safer for storage and shipping.

Efficacy of Manorapid Synergy:

Manorapid Synergy was tested, according to the EN 14476, which represents in-vitro Quantitative Suspension test with the contact time of 30 seconds.

In all of the above tests, Manorapid Synergy achieved a minimum of 99.99% efficacy in 30 seconds of contact time.

Manorapid Synergy was also tested under practical conditions of use on hands of volunteers using ASTM Test E-1838-02 against Polio I virus and Feline Calici virus, surrogate for Norwalk like viruses. In both test results Manorapid Synergy achieved 99.9%- 99.3% inactivation in 30 seconds of contact time.

Manorapid Synergy is also a powerful antibacterial and antifungal product. Tests performed according to the European Standard method EN-1500 under practical conditions on hands of volunteers on a variety of bacteria and fungi, show more than 99.99% effectiveness for 30 second time of contact.

Manorapid Synergy was tested for suitability in surgical hand disinfection, in 3-minute time of application, as per EN 12791, against the reference procedure (1-Propanol 60% V/V) and proved to have equal efficacy as the reference method.

Manorapid Synergy has excellent skin compatibility and does not elicit allergic reactions nor induces bacterial resistance. Due to the presence of emollients in the formulation, it does not dry the skin, but actually improves its condition. Manorapid Synergy is indicated for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection.
