CuVerro Anti-microbial Copper Handles
CuVerro Anti-microbial Cooper is laboratory tested, EPA registered and proven effective
in clinical trials at killing the pathogens responsible for spreading healthcare associated
infections (HAI). The CuVerro anti-microbial copper surface continuously kills bacteria left
behind by dirty hands, killing more than 99.9% of bacteria within 2 hours.
Pathogens responsible for spreading HAI include: Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter
aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E.coli O157:H7, Methicillin-Resistant
Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis
(VRW).
Proper Care and Use
Clean and sanitize according to standard practice. Healthcare facilities must maintain the
product in accordance with infection control guidelines. The use of this surface is a
supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices. Users must
continue to follow all current infection control practices, including those practices related
to cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces. This surface has been shown to
reduce microbial contamination, but does not necessarily prevent cross contamination.
This surface may be subject to recontamination and the level of active bacteria at any
particular time will depend on the frequency and timing of recontamination and
cleanliness of the surface (among other factors).In order to have proper antimicrobial
effect, the product must be cleaned and maintained according to the directions for use.
Cleaning agents typically used for traditional hard, non-porous touch surfaces are
permissible. The appropriate cleaning agent depends on the type of soiling and the
measure of sanitization required. Normal tarnishing or wear of this product will not impair
the anti-microbial effectiveness.
DO NOT WAX, PAINT, LACQUER, VARNISH OR OTHERWISE COAT THE HANDLES!
