Tristel Duo ULT

Tristel Duo ULT is chlorine dioxide in a foam, designed specifically for the high-level disinfection of endocavity ultrasound probes. Tristel Duo offers speed, safety, efficacy and excellent material compatibility.

Tristel Duo ULT incorporates two separate compartments that contain Tristel Base solution (citric acid) and Tristel Activator solution (sodium chlorite). When mixed upon pressing the foam pump, Tristel’s proprietary chlorine dioxide chemistry is generated.

Tristel Duo ULT is CE marked as a Class IIb Medical Device.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a small, non-enveloped DNA virus. There are over 200 different HPV types. Types 16 and 18 are known to be responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases. A new scientific study by Meyers, et al. (2020) demonstrates that Duo ULT possesses efficacy against infectious HPV types 16 and 18 on a transvaginal ultrasound probe and a flexible nasendoscope in 30 seconds.

Microbiological Efficacy

Tristel Duo ULT is sporicidal, mycobactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and bactericidal in 30 seconds. It has been tested in accredited laboratories worldwide and is proven effective against microorganisms of concern in ultrasound, such as:

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Candida albicans
Gardnerella vaginalis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Adenovirus
Staphylococcus aureus
Streptococcus agalactiae
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Hepatitis B Virus
Hepatitis C Virus
Herpes Simplex Virus
Duo ULT is also proven effective at denaturing DNA and RNA.

Applications

Tristel Duo ULT is designed specifically for the high-level disinfection of endocavity ultrasound probes, such as:

Transvaginal ultrasound probes
Transrectal ultrasound probes
Other uses include the high-level disinfection of non-invasive medical devices such as skin surface probes (including those used during invasive procedures) bladder scanners, transabdominal probes and blood pressure cuffs.
