may be used for disinfection. To ensure material
compatibility, products based on the following agents
may be used:
• Aldehydes
• Quaternary ammonium compounds
All users are advised to use these agents.
Note:

and Incidur (wiping), and Gigasept FF and
Korsolex Extra (disinfection by immersion).
The following products are not suitable and should
not be used:
• Compounds containing phenols
• Halogen-releasing compounds
• Strong organic acids

In addition to the main agents, disinfectants
frequently also contain additives which may damage
the materials used. The supplier/manufacturer of the
cleaning agent/disinfectant should be contacted if
there is any doubt as to the suitability of a product.
