Frequently Asked Questions

The Master Label contains all of the approved uses for a given pesticide product and all associated labeling. Master Labels must be submitted for EPA approval. EPA-approved Master Labels are stamped “ACCEPTED” and placed in the official record. Labeling for a given product must not contain any text beyond that which is approved in the Master Label, except for supplemental labeling. The Master Label provides critical information about how to handle and use the pesticide product.

• Company name and address
• EPA Registration number – indicates which company holds the registration for the pesticide product, and in what sequence the product was submitted to EPA by the company.
• EPA Establishment number – The final physical location where the pesticide product was produced or labeled.
• Efficacy Claims
• Product Toxicity category
• Directions for use
• Storage and Disposal Directions
• Product contact time
• First Aid and Precautionary statements
• Marketing claims

Yes, Sani-HyPerCide Spray can be used with an Electrostatic Sprayer on hard, nonporous surfaces only. The ability to use Sani-HyPerCide Spray with an Electrostatic Sprayer can be especially useful in Environmental Services.

Yes, Sani-HyPerCide Spray has a Biofilm Bacteria kill claim for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa at 3 minutes. Sani-HyPerCide Spray is useful for targeting these specific organisms in areas such as sinks and drains where biofilm is known to build up. Sani-HyPerCide Wipe does not have a Biofilm Bacteria kill claim.

When used as directed, the Sani-24 Wipe’s CAD/protective shield provides protection against ESKAPE pathogens for up to 24 hours – even after multiple touches. Once dried, the visibility of the protective shield varies depending on surfaces/materials, humidity, user technique, etc.

No, CAD technology is only listed as effective against ESKAPE pathogens per EPA master label.

If the ATP testing should not be used to validate the Sani-24 Wipe. ATP testing is meant to validate cleaning processes. Further, the different ATP technologies can vary in sensitivity and can be impacted by disinfectant chemistry. Also, ATP testing detects both live and dead bacteria, and the CAD is intended to provide organism kill for up to 24 hours/96 touches. As a result, ATP reads may detect dead organisms and therefore produce false positive results with increased relative light unit (RLU) measurement.

If the CAD shield needs to be removed, utilize a solvent/alcohol-based product (ex. Easy Screen Cleaning Wipe®, Super Sani-Cloth® Wipe). Once the surface is cleaned using a solvent or alcohol-based product, the Sani-24 Wipe must be reapplied to achieve CAD.

If the surface with CAD shield is wiped with a solvent/alcohol-based product, the Sani-24 Wipe must be reapplied to achieve CAD.

The ESKAPE pathogens are responsible for over 40% of HAIs in the healthcare environment^1,2.

The acronym ESKAPE includes six epidemiologically important pathogens that exhibit multidrug resistance and virulence: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species.

Once the 1-minute contact time for immediate disinfection has been achieved, the antimicrobial shield (aka CAD) is active and will last for up to 24 hours or 96 touches against ESKAPE pathogens. Within those 24 hours or 96 touches, if the surface is re-contaminated, the antimicrobial shield will kill the ESKAPE pathogens within 5 minutes.
