APPLICATIONS

The core product F10SC VETERINARY DISINFECTANT is a high performance surface acting biocidal compound and due to its inherently low toxicity and low irritation characteristics is widely used within the veterinary profession in companion and large animal practices, referral hospitals, zoo’s, laboratories, and various other institutions. It is used in numerous applications, i.e. cold sterilisation of instruments and equipment including endoscopes, intravenous catheters, and endotracheal tubes; high level disinfection of hard surfaces and air spaces, water treatment, and as a sanitising rinse for solid food and fruit. Fogging with F10SC VETERINARY DISINFECTANT, (a spray of fine mist-like droplets) has been shown to be 100% effective in eliminating airborne micro-organisms.

F10 SKIN PREPSOLUTION is a pre-op skin decontaminant.

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTION

The antimicrobial action mechanism of the F10 branded disinfectants is taken from each component separately but in addition is due to the additive synergistic action of all components combined.

Bactericidal tests have been carried out in accordance with SANS 636-2001 – Standard (South African) having a performance pass criteria of >log³ reduction in microbial counts, the AFNOR Standard (French)which is a>log⁴ reduction inmicrobial counts, the European Union EN Standard which is a >log⁵ reduction in microbial counts, and the AOAC Standard (USA) which is a >log⁶ (1,000,000 times) reduction in microbial counts. MIC in-vitro tests have shown the significant depth of performance as indicated. Generally, testing was carried out at ambient temperatures with the exception of EN Standard tests where some were carried out at low temperatures 10^o C and some DEFRA tests at 4^o C. The EN Standard for low temperatures is 10^o C and at this temperature, bactericidal performance was equal to that at ambient temperatures, however, there was a significant fall-off in performance at 4^o C. Other tests carried out at elevated temperatures of 45^o C showed a significant increase in performance.

FIGURE A: THE F10SC MIC VALUES

Test organism	Concentration of F10SC (dilution) that visual inhibition of the Test organism = MIC value resulted incomplete
Pseudomonas aeruginosa – ATCC 27853	A dilution of 1/1000 or 0,1 % F10SC
Escherichia coli – ATCC 25922	A dilution of 1/4000 or 0,025 % F10SC
Staphylococcus aureus – ATCC 25923	A dilution of 1/16000 or 0,00625 % F10SC
Klebsiella pneumoniae – ATCC 10031	A dilution of 1/4000 or 0,025 % F10SC
Staphylococcus aureus -MRSA Local isolate	A dilution of 1/16000 or 0,00625 % F10SC
Pasteurella multocida – Local isolate	A dilution of 1/16000 or 0,00625 % F10SC
Enterococcus faecalis – ATCC 29212	A dilution of 1/16000 or 0,00625 % F10SC

Fungicidal tests have been carried out in accordance with SANS 636-2001,AFNOR and EN Standards which require a log³ and log⁴reduction in microbial counts respectively.

Virucidal tests have been carried out in accordance with various internationally accepted protocols by the UPFaculty of Veterinary Science’s Department of Poultry Diseases, the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases and the ARC – Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute. The FMDV test was carried in accordance with the DEFRA (UK) Standard (F10CL General Farm Disinfectant only). Test requirements called for log⁴and log ⁵ reductions in microbial counts.

Sporicidal tests have been carried out in accordance with EN 13704-2002, 13697- 2001 and 1650-1997 Standards which required a log⁵ reduction in microbial counts.

CONCENTRATIONS AND CONTACT TIMES
Concentrations and contact times are indicated on each product label. It should be noted that additional tests were carried out to determine the various speed of kill rates to meet varying application demands.

Bactericidal test standard contact times are generally 5 minutes. However, it was found that a log³ reduction in gram-positive bacteria was achieved in 30 seconds and similarly 60 seconds for gram-negative bacteria all at a concentration of 1:500 of the F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant. In the AOAC test, a log⁶ reduction was achieved in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in a 10 minutes contact time.

DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For F10SC VETERINARY DISINFECTANTS clear away debris and rinse surfaces, then apply as below :

– Environmental general disinfection dilute 1:500 (2 ml / l water)
– High-level disinfection (including fungal spores) dilute 1:250 (4 ml / l water)
– Resistant viruses and bacterial spores dilute 1:100 (10 ml / l water)
– Sterilisation of instruments/equipment dilute 1:100 (10 ml / l water)

Additional information is available in application user guidelines. For other products refer to each specific product label.

TOXICOLOGY

Carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and toxicity for reproduction	Based on data for the raw materials, no carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxicity for reproduction is predicted.

Acute inhalation toxicity

After taking account of the relative volatility, acute oral toxicity, dosage form and direction for use the inhalation toxicity of F10 disinfectant products will not be greater than the values shown for acute oral toxicity.

Residual toxicity

A five-week supervised trial using day-old broiler chicks restricted to 1:1000 and 1:250 solutions of F10SC in drinking water showed no F10 residual build-up in muscle meat, liver or kidneys.
