MADA Medical: Madacide-FD (EPA reg# 1130-15-11703)The following disinfectants were tested by OAKWORKS® and found to be acceptably compatible with most materials,with some cautions as indicated:1. 10% Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) solution in water (EPA reg# 5813-100) (possible mild corrosion ofplated metals)2. Metrex Cavicide One (EPA reg# 46781-12) (possible slight deterioration of upholstery and wood lacquer)OAKWORKS® recommends a prepackaged wipe for cleaners/disinfectants to ensure best distribution of disinfectantfor the required kill time, without leaving excess residue and/or overexposing components therefore minimizing thepotential for damage to materials. Please read and follow disinfectants manufacturers’ directions for cleaning anddisinfection.The following disinfectants were tested by OAKWORKS® and found to be incompatible with some materials and aretherefore NOT recommended for use:1. Clorox Broad Spectrum Quaternary (EPA reg# 67619-20)(deterioration of upholstery, wood lacquer,plated metals)2. Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfectant (EPA reg# 67619-24)(corrosion of metals, deterioration ofupholstery and wood lacquer, leaves a hard-to-remove residue)3. Virox Accel TB (EPA reg# 74559-1)(corrosion of metals, deterioration of upholstery and wood lacquer,leaves a hard-to-remove residue)4. Clorox Healthcare Bleach Germicidal Cleaner (EPA reg# 56392-7)(deteriorates upholstery, woodlacquer, mild corrosion of metals, dissolves foam in pads)OAKWORKS® does NOT recommend the use of cleaners/disinfectants containing Hydrogen Peroxide, Acetic Acid, orPhenolics. These chemicals can cause damage to the appearance and/or material integrity of various components.Also, while the recommended cleaners/disinfectants list includes products containing Quaternary Ammoniumcompounds (“quats”), not all products containing quats are approved for use. Some contain additional detergentsand/or surfactants which can be detrimental to some materials.A note on Bleach: While a 10% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) solution (EPA reg# 5813-100 or equivalent)can be an effective disinfectant and is dilute enough to be benign to most materials, it alone is not an effectivecleaner and a separate product must be used for the initial cleaning steps of the procedure. Because of possiblechemical incompatibilities between various cleaning products and bleach, utmost care must be taken by the user toavoid potential exposure to harmful or toxic by-products of the combination. Also, because bleach leaves a potentiallycorrosive residue as it evaporates, it must be rinsed with clean water after disinfection. It is therefore NOTrecommended by OAKWORKS®. Please note, one step cleaner/disinfectants using bleach and a detergent/ surfactantwere found to damage materials and are NOT recommended.19
