Ingredients
BZ488 is made up of a blend of ingredients designed to mimic the composition of fecal material:
- Lard: Replicates the fat content commonly found in fecal matter.
- Peanut Butter & Butter: Adds texture and fat to simulate the organic components of feces.
- Flour: Represents carbohydrates present in human feces.
- Evaporated Milk & Egg Yolk: Simulates proteins and fat content typically found in fecal material.
- Ink: Used to mimic the color and pigment found in feces, creating a realistic appearance.
- Saline: Adds moisture and simulates the saline content of bodily fluids.
- Dehydrated Blood: Simulates potential blood residues in fecal matter due to certain medical conditions or gastrointestinal issues.
Applications
- Cleaning Validation for Medical Devices: Ideal for validating the cleaning efficiency of washer-disinfectors used to clean medical instruments contaminated with fecal material.
- Testing Washer-Disinfectors: Ensures that washer-disinfectors are capable of thoroughly cleaning devices that come into contact with fecal matter.
- Clinical and Research Use: Useful for testing cleaning protocols in healthcare, dental, laboratory, and veterinary settings where devices may be contaminated with human waste.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets industry standards, providing documentation for cleaning validation in compliance with ASTM F3208-20 and other applicable guidelines.
How to Use Formulation for Fecal Test Soil (BZ488)
- Preparation: Mix the pre-measured soil (dried soil kit version only) formulation with water to create a paste-like consistency.
- Application: Apply the paste evenly across the test device or surface to simulate realistic fecal contamination.
- Drying: Allow the test soil to dry, bonding it to the surface for accurate testing.
- Cleaning: Place the soiled device in the washer-disinfector and run the cleaning cycle as per normal operating procedures.
- Inspection: After the cleaning cycle, inspect the devices for any remaining soil or residue. The bright color of the test soil allows for easy detection of areas that were not adequately cleaned.
Packaging & Storage
- Packaging: Available in convenient sizes to suit the needs of various facilities, including 25g, 50g, 100g, and 250g containers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the soil formulation.
- Shelf Life: Stable for up to 12 months when stored properly.
