COVID-19

Prevention One-Step Disinfectants have a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved label claim for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The product has been validated by independent testing and proven efficacious against SARS-CoV-2, following a contact time of one minute. Prevention also appears on the EPA’s List N, which identifies disinfectants that are appropriate for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 – this can be found by searching by the product’s EPA registration number (74559-1). Prevention is expected to be effective against all variants of the virus, including SARS-CoV- 2 – Delta Strain, when used in accordance with the directions for use against SARS-CoV-2.

MONKEY POX

In cases of emerging viral pathogens such as Monkeypox Virus, when there is no test that can be conducted to validate the efficacy of a disinfectant, the EPA utilizes their Emerging Viral Pathogens Policy to determine the expected efficacy of a disinfectant against an emerging virus. In the case of an enveloped virus such as Monkeypox Virus, the following criteria are used to determine efficacy of a disinfectant upon enactment of the Emerging Viral Pathogens Policy:

1. The product must be a hospital or broad-spectrum disinfectant product registered with the EPA.

2. The product must have acceptable efficacy data previously submitted to and reviewed by the Agency against at least one non-enveloped virus, which is considered to be more resistant to disinfectants compared to enveloped viruses such as Monkeypox Virus.

The Prevention line of disinfectants (including Prevention Ready-to-Use liquid and Wipes) fulfill these criteria and therefore can be used against Monkeypox Virus on hard, non-porous surfaces as part of a facility’s infection prevention and control protocols.
