HAIs: A Global Crisis
Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) are a global problem of crisis proportions.
This is an issue of critical importance for every healthcare facility, employee and patient.
What’s Known?
What‘s Key?
• At any given time, over 1.4 million people
worldwide are suffering from infections
acquired in a hospital.1
• Removing or killing the
microbes on surfaces,
thereby breaking the chain
of transmission, is key to
eliminating environmental
surfaces as a contributing
factor in the spread of HAIs.9
• In 2002, HAIs resulted in almost 100,000
deaths in the U.S.2
• It has been estimated that HAIs cost more
than $40 million US dollars in Thailand every
year and up to $5 billion annually in the U.S.3
• One of the most credible studies of HAIs
(SENIC Study, 1985) concluded that up to
32% of HAIs are preventable.4
A. baumannii
Tuberculosis
What‘s Needed?
• A better way to clean and
disinfect that will help break
the chain of transmission.
• One third of the world’s population is infected
with the microbes that cause tuberculosis.5
• Dangerous organisms such as MRSA,
Acinetobacter spp., and Clostridium difficile
can survive on environmental surfaces for
up to 5 months.6
• One recent study found that 59% of
environmental surfaces were contaminated
with MRSA in affected patients’ rooms.7
• A rigorous environmental cleaning
intervention can reduce the transmission
of MRSA and other multidrug-resistant
organisms in hospital intensive care units.8

Oxidation Potential (eV)
Why It Works.
KIMTECH* One-Step Germicidal Wipe works
better than leading competitors. The dilute
hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid
chemistry contained in the wipe is inherently
more powerful than bleach, quaternary
amines, and alcohol.
The KIMTECH* One-Step Germicidal Wipe
features a unique patent-pending† basesheet
treatment that keeps the active ingredients
effective over time, so that they can rapidly
kill major organisms that cause HAIs.
How It Works.
Peracetic acid breaks into the outer membrane
or coat of the target spore, bacteria, or virus.
Then hydrogen peroxide oxidizes and
destroys the internal components.
Together, the active ingredients kill
the pathogen.
1. Peracetic Acid cracks
open the pathogen coat.
2. Hydrogen Peroxide
damages DNA, proteins,
organelles, and more.

Cleaning Procedures and Safety Guidelines
To Clean and Disinfect
Environmental Surfaces:
For general-purpose disinfection
of non-porous, non-food contact
surfaces. Not intended to be used
on therapeutic or medical devices.
• Protective eyewear and gloves
should be worn.
• Remove heavy soil, blood, or
body fluid (if present).
• Begin with the cleanest area
of the target surface, and work
toward the dirtiest area. Use the
KIMTECH* One-Step Germicidal
Wipe to clean and disinfect by
thoroughly wiping area to be
disinfected.
• Treated area must remain visibly
wet for the minimum period of time
assigned to each specified group
of target organisms (see product
label).
• Discard used wipe when it no
longer sufficiently wets the
surface; do not reuse or rewet.
• Let surface air dry – no rinsing
required.
Safety Guidelines
• Protective eyewear should be
worn; liquid contained within the
KIMTECH* One-Step Germicidal
Wipe is an eye irritant.
• Use of gloves is recommended.
If skin comes in contact with
the wipe, no adverse or allergic
reaction should occur.
• The KIMTECH* One-Step
Germicidal Wipe should not
produce acute systemic toxicity
if inhaled or ingested, although
it may irritate the respiratory
or GI tract.
• Consult product label or MSDS
for complete safety and first
aid information. Seek medical
attention if irritation of the eyes,
skin, or respiratory tract develops
or persists.
