Question
Hello,
I am the medical director for a rescue squadron on an Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan. We need a better solution for storing our small amount of narcotics 5 alert kits each containing 2 x 10mL ketamine, 5x2mL versed & 3xfentanyl lozenges, kept within small pelican cases. We are looking for something that can provide individualized entry, so that the 25+ paramedics that need access to the meds can each have an individual code or finger print, etc... to access the meds, thus allowing for accountability. Do you have anything that would meet these needs? If so, please send product information and pricing.
Thank you!!

Question
Can these alcohol prep pads be used to disinfect small items such as a pulse ox. Is there a kill time
Answer
The common and most widely using disinfectant in the pharmaceutical industries, hospitals and other health care facilities is 70% isopropyl alcohol.It is is used for disinfection of hands and equipment surface and surgical devices.
The important thing is that only 70% solution of isopropyl alcohol acts as a disinfectant killing all surface microorganisms. 70 % isopropyl alcohol solution kills microorganisms by dissolving the plasma membrane of the cell wall. Plasma membrane of gram negative bacteria consist of thin layer of peptidoglycon that easily destroyed by the alcohol.
Water plays key important role which used to denature the proteins of cell membrane and acts as a catalyst in the reaction. Contact time of the alcohol with the organism also play an important role. A 70% solution of alcohol takes more time in evaporation from the surface, increasing the contact time. Therefore, 70% isopropyl alcohol fulfills the both requirements.
The 100% isopropyl alcohol coagulates the proteins instantly by creating a protein layer that protects the other proteins from further coagulation. Due to this microbes are not killed but remains in dormant stage. While 70% isopropyl alcohol solution penetrates in the cell wall at slower rate and coagulates the all protein of the cell wall and microorganism dies.
Ref: (Staphylococcus aureus killed in less than 10 seconds with a 50% Isopropyl Alcohol solution and was not killed in 2 hours with a 90% solution: emphasizing the importance of water in killing microorganisms (Tainter et al., 1944))
Thus 70% IPA solution in water is more effective then 100% absolute alcohol and have more disinfectant capacity. Hence 70 percent iso propyl alcohol is known as pharmaceutical alcohol.
?These alcohols are rapidly bactericidal rather than bacteriostatic against vegetative forms of bacteria; they also are tuberculocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal but do not destroy bacterial spores. Their cidal activity drops sharply when diluted below 50% concentration, and the optimum bactericidal concentration is 60%?90% solutions in water (volume/volume)?.
Ref:
Addition of water (due to high dielectric constant) to alcohol breaks the hydrogen bonds (due to hydrogen bond, alcohol molecules are inactive) between the alcohol molecules and make molecules active. There is a critical concentration of water molecules which makes maximum free alcohol molecules. 30% water concentration is critical concentration for isopropyl alcohol therefore, 70% isopropyl alcohol is used as disinfectant (Dr.Nishod Saxena)
Staphylococcus aureus killed in 1 minute; Escherichia coli killed in 5 minutes ; spored cultures of Bacillus subtilis and Clostridium novyi not killed in 60 minutes; alcohol contaminated by saprophytic spore-forming organism: does not kill bacterial spores (Powell, 1945)
?isopropyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol have been excluded as high-level disinfectants because of their inability to inactivate bacterial spores and because of the inability of isopropyl alcohol to inactivate hydrophilic viruses (i.e., poliovirus, coxsackie virus).? (Rutala et al., 2008)
Soaking in 70% solution 15 minutes destroyed vegetative bacteria on endotracheal tube cuffs (Zieglar & Jacoby, 1956)
?Spaulding who demonstrated using the mucin-loop test that 70% isopropyl alcohol destroyed 104 M. tuberculosis in 5 minutes?? (Rutala et al., 2008)
