Subject: Contacttime / worktime of a disinfectant in combination with Chlorhexidine

Dear All,

I got a question concerning the Contacttime / worktime of a disinfectant in combination with Chlorhexidine.

Problem
In the dutch healthcare the hygienist and the WIP (workgroup for infection prevention) say that a disinfectant (hands) in combination with Chlorhexidine has a contacttime of 6 hours. I'm looking for studies concerning this subject.

We are selling a disinfection with Ethanol, who is much more effective than Chlorhexidine, but this product has a contacttime of 3 hours concerning the standard NEN-EN 12791.

Can someone help me with this subject?

With kind regards,
Patrick
