To Control Bird Flu Infections, CDC Recommends Disinfecting Frequently Touched Surfaces with EPA Disinfectants Labeled to Kill Influenza A

CDC Disinfection Guidance for Bird Flu

Based on the current outbreaks of Avian Flu, The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has issued interim guidance on testing, specimen collection, and processing of patients with suspected infections with Novel Influenza A viruses with the potential to cause severe disease in humans.  In this guidance the CDC is recommending that clinicians and public health personnel consider the possibility of infection in anyone with influenza-like illnesses (ILI), and acute respiratory infection (ARI), that has had contact with sick or dead birds, in the following categories, domestic poultry (e.g., chickens, turkeys, ducks), wild aquatic birds (e.g., ducks, geese, swans), and captive birds (e.g., falcons) that have had contact with wild aquatic birds.

 

Within the CDC guidelines for environmental infection control throughout healthcare facilities, the recommendations include disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and objects with an EPA disinfectant labeled to kill Influenza A.

PERFORMACIDE® Hard Surface Disinfectant is EPA registered to kill Influenza A on hard non-porous surfaces and is approved for use in hospitals, medical facilities, clinics, ambulances, and veterinary hospitals.  Frequently touched surfaces such as furniture, doorknobs, hard surface floors, bed frames, cabinets, examination tables, stretchers, tabletops, telephones, and wheelchairs.  PERFORMACIDE® is a chlorine dioxide based product that can be sprayed, sponged, or mopped onto these surfaces and allowed to air dry, leaving no harmful residues.

How to Stop the Spread of Dog Flu - Canine Influenza A

Stop The Spread of Dog Flu

Use PERFORMACIDE® ClO2 to disinfect water bowls, cages and toys without leaving harmful residue.

With the recent outbreaks of the Canine Influenza A virus, it is important that dog owners understand how the virus is spread and how to prevent it.  The Influenza A virus is spread when animals are in close contact or come into contact with surfaces previously contaminated by infected animals.  Part of the infection control measures includes the disinfection of surfaces with which infected animals have come into contact.  Good disinfection techniques at kennels, veterinary offices, veterinary clinics, including their waiting rooms is an important part of an infection control protocol.  

PERFORMACIDE® is a patented, point-of-use, ClO2 generator pouch system. When the generator pouch is immersed in water (like a tea bag), it creates a concentrated ClO2 solution for disinfecting, sanitizing, and deodorizing. 

PERFORMACIDE® Hard Surface Disinfectant is an EPA registered virucide for killing Influenza A, Canine Parvovirus, and Feline Calicivirus.  Formulated for hospital use, PERFORMACIDE® utilizes chlorine dioxide which has passed all EPA requirements for use as a virucide.  PERFORMACIDE® ClO2 is a powerful disinfectant but does not leave harmful residues. PERFORMACIDE® is the perfect choice to disinfect water bowls, cages, furniture and pet toys with no wiping or rinsing required. 

PERFORMACIDE® can be sprayed, mopped, or sponged and allowed to air dry, so there is no risk of spreading microorganisms to other surfaces. Unlike ordinary bleach dilutions which only last 24 hours, PERFORMACIDE®’s activated solution remains effective for 15 days when properly stored.
