What It Is
CaviCide is a broad-spectrum surface disinfectant designed to clean and decontaminate non-porous surfaces. It works by effectively killing a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus reducing the risk of cross-contamination in clinical environments. Its formulation allows for rapid action and is safe for use on a variety of surfaces commonly found in healthcare settings.
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Disinfection and decontamination of nonporous surfaces in healthcare settings.
- Use on noncritical medical devices and other compatible environmental surfaces.
- Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces according to the product labeling, including the required wet contact time.
Clinical Applications
- Disinfecting countertops, exam tables, carts, and other nonporous environmental surfaces.
- Cleaning compatible external surfaces of noncritical medical equipment.
- Surface decontamination in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, and laboratories.
- Routine disinfection of high-touch surfaces in clinical care areas.
Practical Considerations
- It is intended for compatible nonporous surfaces and noncritical devices; it is not a substitute for sterilization of critical instruments or equipment that enters sterile tissue.
- Use the product as labeled, including the required wet contact time. Do not dilute unless the current manufacturer labeling specifically permits dilution.
- Available packaging may include spray bottles and larger refill containers; availability and sizes can vary by product version.
- Check material compatibility before use, especially on sensitive plastics, coated surfaces, electronics, or equipment with manufacturer-specific cleaning requirements.
- This is a surface disinfectant, not an implantable or intravascular device. MRI safety is not applicable to its use as a surface cleaner; keep containers and chemicals away from MRI equipment according to facility policy and labeling.
