Are eye wash stations required for areas where Germicidal Disposable Wipes are utilized?
Eye wash stations are not required for areas where Germicidal Disposable Wipes are utilized as intended for surface disinfection. Although Super Sani-Cloth®, Sani-Cloth Prime, Sani-Cloth Bleach, Sani-HyPerCide®, Sani-Cloth AF3, and Sani-Cloth Plus are classified as eye irritants, there is no OSHA or ANSI regulation that requires an eye wash station for eye irritants and therefore one not needed for these products. Handling of any chemical product, whether category 1, 2, 3, or 4, include using PPE when required, engineering controls if appropriate, and safe work practice controls to minimize any risk of exposure
Can PDI Germicidal Wipes be used on toys?
Yes. PDI’s EPA-registered surface disinfectant products—including Super Sani-Cloth®, Sani-Cloth AF3, Sani-Cloth Bleach, Sani-Cloth Plus, Sani-Cloth Prime, Sani-HP1™, and Sani-HyPerCide® brands—are approved and labeled for use on hard, non-porous toys. They clean and disinfect in a one-step process unless the toy is visibly soiled. After disinfection, toys should always be rinsed thoroughly with potable water (tap water) and allowed to air dry.
This rinse step is not unique to PDI—it is required for all EPA-registered surface disinfectants when used on toys or items that may be mouthed, since disinfectants are not registered as food-contact surface sanitizers. Without the rinse, chemical residues could remain on items that children may put in their mouths.
According to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), recommended best practice is: “Toys should be cleaned/disinfected between patients, especially those that are visibly soiled, mouthed, or used by patients in isolation. Toys should be washed thoroughly; disinfected with a non-toxic, low-level disinfectant; and air dried completely.”
Infection prevention experts also recommend only using washable toys for sharing. Stuffed animals and toys that cannot be cleaned and disinfected should not be shared.

Do you have any products effective against SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19)?
Yes. The CDC directs users to EPA List N, which identifies EPA-registered disinfectants that meet the criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2. According to the EPA, products on List N are expected to kill all strains and variants of the virus when used according to label directions.
All PDI surface disinfectant wipes are included on List N and are effective against SARS-CoV-2.
This includes:
For the most current information, you can verify PDI products directly on the EPA List N using the EPA registration numbers found on each product label. [https://www.epa.gov/coronavirus-and-disinfectants/list-n-advanced-search-page-disinfectants-coronavirus-covid-19]
Some PDI products state "store at room temperature." What is the definition of room temperature?
For our EPA-regulated products, such as Sani-Cloth® AF3, Super Sani-Cloth, Sani-Cloth Bleach, Sani-Cloth Plus. Sani-Cloth Prime, Sani-HyPerCide® and Sani-HP1™ brand products, room temperature within a temperature range of 20◦ to 25◦ C (68◦ – 77◦ F) degree for room temperature and within a temperature range of 15◦ C to 30◦ C (59◦ F to 86◦ F). For our FDA-regulated products, such as Prevantics® brand products, “controlled room temperature” indicates a temperature maintained thermostatically that encompasses the usual customary working environment of 20◦ C to 25◦ C (68◦ F to 77◦ F).

What are the ESKAPE pathogens, and which PDI products are effective against them?
The acronym ESKAPE refers to six clinically significant pathogens known for multidrug resistance and virulence: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species.
These organisms are considered some of the most dangerous in healthcare because they are able to “escape” the effects of commonly used antibiotics. Collectively, the ESKAPE pathogens are the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in the healthcare environment.*
PDI’s Sani-HP1™, Sani-HyPerCide®, Sani-Cloth Prime, Super Sani-Cloth, Sani-Cloth AF3 and Sani-Cloth Bleach Germicidal Disposable Wipes all carry claims against all six ESKAPE pathogens.
Sani-Cloth® Plus covers five of the six, but does not have a claim against Acinetobacter baumannii.

What are the levels of disinfection for PDI EPA-Registered products?
All of PDI’s Sani-Cloth® brand products are EPA-registered and meet or exceed CDC recommendations for cleaning and disinfection in healthcare facilities.
Products with an efficacy claim against Mycobacterium bovis (Tuberculosis) are classified as intermediate-level disinfectants.
This includes:
Products without a Tuberculosis claim are classified as low-level disinfectants, including:
