Compatibility of UNO-FLUSH®

UNO-FLUSH® tubsVirusolve+ EDS®, the active ingredient within UNO-FLUSH®, has been extensively tested for compatibility with the metals and plastics that are used in the manufacture of flexible and rigid endoscopes. The results of this independent testing show that when used as directed, Virusolve+ EDS® will not damage or corrode metals and plastics.

UNO-FLUSH® has been specifically formulated to effectively cleanse the insertion tube and suction channels prior to full processing of endoscopes. The compatibility testing shows that prolonged exposure of endoscopic equipment to Virusolve+ EDS® will not result in loss of performance or damage. Indeed, after 200,000 usages in the UK since the launch of UNO-FLUSH® there have been no reported problems.

Virusolve+ EDS® is dedicated and approved for endoscopy use. It has also undergone trials at the Hospital Infection Research Laboratory in Birmingham. There should be no reaction of Virusolve residues with enzymatic detergents or alkaline detergents and there should be no reaction with disinfectants such as Sterilox®, Peracetic Acid, Tristel® or Peracetic Acid-based Apalan from Lancer.
