What type and brand of disinfectants do hospitals use to disinfect their medical equipments?


Hi, I need to know what are the disinfectants (brand and type) that hospitals and dental offices use to disinfect their medical equipment and surfaces and so on? Maybe there's a place that they all buy their products from? Any idea where I should start my research?
I appreciate any input. :)

it depends on what type of equipement you are referring to.

if it's surgical equipment (tools used in surgery,items used to insert chest tubes,put stitches in, etc) then it's put into an autoclave to be sterilzed with extremely HOT water.

if it's large equipment such as monitors, chairs, hospital beds, etc then it depends on what cleaning company the hospital has their contract with. for my hospital we use a special wipe called PDI Sani-cloth made from Microgen, Inc to wipe down our equipement.

housekeeping uses special chemicals to clean our rooms but i'm not exactly sure what those are.

hope this helps some

hi,they dont use a brand if u are asking about metals items used over and over. They are put in a autoclave,some are shaped like a microwave,except thtemperatures they reach can kill all viruses,bacteria,any other things u can think of.When the equipment goes through the entire cycle its finished,takes a few hours,of course as technology gets better,they do to.If u ask about a cleaner in general.mopping,wiping,restrooms,look up a chemical supply company,they have all the brands u can think of,not one facility uses the same,its according to the need,such as what floor,sick w/flu,babies,sur/med floor,all use different strenghths,and yes they are very good,I buy in gallons,its far cheaper,dont be surprised to find industrial lysol,clorox,and the room mister for smells among the masses.Read the label,make sure it is safe for everyday use,all are not ok to breathe constantly.
