COMPOSITION FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS DISINFECTION AND DECONTAMINATION OF BODIES CONTAMINATED BY CONVENTIONAL TRANSMISSIBLE AGENTS (CTAS) AND NON-CONVENTIONAL TRANSMISSIBLE AGENTS (NCTAS)

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a composition for the simultaneous disinfection and decontamination of objects contaminated by conventional transmissible agents (CTAs) such as bacteria, yeasts, viruses, mould spores, mycobacteria, and bacteria spores, in particular, and non-conventional transmissible agents (NCTAs) such as prions. According to the invention, the composition includes an aqueous solution of copper or a derivative thereof such as copper salts in the presence of peracid oxidising agents, in particular peracetic acid. The composition can particularly be used in a disinfecting washing device, and can advantageously be obtained from a mixture containing a peracetic acid solution and an aqueous copper solution, after high dilution, particularly intended for reducing the replacement rate of consumables, particularly a peracetic acid solution and a copper salt solution. The invention also relates to the use of the composition in a disinfecting washing device.
