As easy as 1… 2… 3…
What’s the biggest challenge of intracavity ultrasound disinfection? Waiting for lengthy disinfection cycles? Constantly transporting devices from the scanning area for pre-cleaning, disinfection, rinsing then storage? Keeping staff and patients waiting due to inefficient disinfection practices? The mounting costs of breakdowns and service contracts of your equipment? OH&S concerns from chemistries that are dangerous to handle and contain? There is one solution to all of these problems…
The Tristel Wipes System incorporates three wipes, used sequentially, to decontaminate and high level disinfect your device in as little as two minutes. The activated Sporicidal Wipe (used for disinfection) contains patented chlorine dioxide technology, effective down to a sporicidal level (destroying ALL fungus, virus, bacteria, mycobacteria and endospores) in just 30 seconds. This same chemistry is ph-neutral, non-corrosive, non-sensitising and a low-irritant to eyes, mucosa and respiratory system. As a result, it is extremely fast, user friendly, compatible with the majority of devices, has an extremely high user satisfaction rate and is safe for IVF.
Using the Tristel Wipes, there is no need for capital equipment investment, which eliminates expensive repairs, breakdowns and service contracts associated with automated reprocessors. High level disinfection is immediately available at the bedside, and enables you to complete back to back ultrasounds almost immediately. The Tristel Wipes even incorporate their own audit tracking system. Everything you need is in the box. Using sophisticated chemical technology, the Tristel Wipes take your device from contaminated to ready to use, in just three simple steps:


  1. Use the Pre-Clean Wipe to remove any ultrasound gel,  patient proteins or other contaminants.

  2. Use the activated Sporicidal Wipe to disinfect all surfaces  in 30 seconds of contact time.

  3. Use the Rinse Wipe to remove any chemical residue.


The Tristel Wipes System is the perfect solution for high level disinfection of imaging devices, including TOE probes, TV ultrasound transducers, non-lumened TR ultrasounds and manometry catheters. The Tristel Wipes System is the only wipe in the market that has been approved by the TGA for high level disinfection of semi-critical devices like those listed above. The ASA and ASUM have both released statements confirming the ability to use Tristel’s chlorine dioxide technology for intracavity disinfection. Currently, over 30,000 Tristel processes are routinely completed in Australia every month.
For the last three years, the Tristel Wipes System - from the UK’s number one high level disinfection company - has developed a strong following in Australia, in national radiology groups, IVF centres, hospital medical imaging centres, private hospitals, operating theatres, and cardiac departments across the country. The Tristel Wipes System has been performance validated within a wide range of peer-reviewed scientific publications, including in use studies. Within the Australian market, numerous facilities have completed their own trials and collected their own data, confirming the efficacy of the Tristel Wipes. With an international ten year, unblemished record, the Tristel Wipes System is a product without compromise.
The answer to all your problems is here.  And it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3…
