Uses
Food Handling
The active ingredient (HOCl) in ECA500 has been proven in numerous studies to be highly effective for disbanding E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. It is also approved by the FDA, USDA, and EPA to be especially suitable and safe on foods and is used in many production facilities as an antimicrobial for produce, meat, fish, and poultry without discolorations, harmful residues, odors, or alterations to flavor.
Food Handling uses: Food prep areas, cutting boards, all produce, all meats, food processing facilities, all contact surfaces, tools, and equipment.
Sanitization Strategy
For Food Contact: Light spray or immersion of a concentrated solution of up to 60 ppm FAC (Free Available Chlorine) on produce, followed by either a 10 minute drain step or a potable water rinse to remove possible residues.
For Contact Surfaces: Frequently spray all contact surfaces and cutting boards with a solution of up to 300 ppm FAC to eliminate all mold, bacteria and spores. Use misters in the produce department to control bacteria, molds, and fungus to prolong shelf-life salability. This will also limit the spread of pathogens from customers handling the produce.
Health Care
ECA 500 is an ideal antimicrobial in the medical field because it does not cause skin or respiratory irritation; an ideal alternative to replace harsh and harmful chemicals currently used in health care facilities. It has also been recognized by the CDC in their guidelines for disinfection and sterilization.
Frequently Sanitize: Examining rooms, waiting rooms, common areas, bathrooms, dental offices, operating rooms, laboratories, wheelchairs, gurneys & patient transport equipment, ambulances, EMT equipment, uniforms, medical instruments, trash cans, and bathrooms at 600 ppm or 1200 ppm for Hospital Grade.
Sterilization: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions and established protocols when sterilizing instruments. Clean instruments of any organic and inorganic matter before submerging and soaking instruments in a solution of 1200 ppm FAC for the recommended CDC time of ten minutes.
