Infection Control

What is Responsebeta®?

Responsebeta® is a scientifically proven infection control product designed with the power of ADVANCED PROTECTION.

ADVANCED PROTECTION provides four key benefits:

• Broad spectrum biocide effective against viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and spores
• Active for up to two hours after application
• Cleans and sanitizes
• SkinSafe – safe for repeated use on skin

ResponseBeta® contains no alcohol so is safe for storage and use in sensitive environments (e.g. prisons & airlines); it will not release chlorine gas when used on body fluids such as urine or vomit.

Responsebeta® Kills Norovirus

What is Norovirus?

Norovirus is the most common cause of infectious diarrhoea in the UK. Norovirus is highly infectious and spreads easily. Norovirus is known to cause large outbreaks of infection in hospitals, hotels, school, cruise ships and places of dense population.

Incubation period is 24 – 72 hours. Symptoms usually commence with sudden onset of vomiting. Other symptoms include diarrhoea and stomach cramps. These will typically last 24 – 48 hours; with continued fatigue for a few days following.

Alcohol based cleaners are not effective at killing Norovirus. In fact a large number of disinfectants currently on the market are unable to effectively neutralise Norovirus; despite kill claims of 99.9%.

The best defence against contracting and spreading Norovirus is to maintain high standards of personal hygiene and ensure potentially infected areas are cleaned and managed properly using an effective product such as Responsebeta®.
