To Control Bird Flu Infections, CDC Recommends Disinfecting Frequently Touched Surfaces with EPA Disinfectants Labeled to Kill Influenza A

Based on the current outbreaks of Avian Flu, The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has issued interim guidance on testing, specimen collection, and processing of patients with suspected infections with Novel Influenza A viruses with the potential to cause severe disease in humans.  In this guidance the CDC is recommending that clinicians and public health personnel consider the possibility of infection in anyone with influenza-like illnesses (ILI), and acute respiratory infection (ARI), that has had contact with sick or dead birds, in the following categories, domestic poultry (e.g., chickens, turkeys, ducks), wild aquatic birds (e.g., ducks, geese, swans), and captive birds (e.g., falcons) that have had contact with wild aquatic birds.

 

Within the CDC guidelines for environmental infection control throughout healthcare facilities, the recommendations include disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and objects with an EPA disinfectant labeled to kill Influenza A.

PERFORMACIDE® Hard Surface Disinfectant is EPA registered to kill Influenza A on hard non-porous surfaces and is approved for use in hospitals, medical facilities, clinics, ambulances, and veterinary hospitals.  Frequently touched surfaces such as furniture, doorknobs, hard surface floors, bed frames, cabinets, examination tables, stretchers, tabletops, telephones, and wheelchairs.  PERFORMACIDE® is a chlorine dioxide based product that can be sprayed, sponged, or mopped onto these surfaces and allowed to air dry, leaving no harmful residues.
