Effectiveness
Yes, it is approved by the Ministry of health Malaysia (KKM) for the health care and domestic usage.
(Approval No:SD20220400012).
AVOTAB® is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeast and spores. AVOTAB® is tested and certified, which is proven to be effective against ALL types of viruses, including Coronavirus, HIV, Influenza Virus, HFMD, Poliovirus, Norovirus, murine adenovirus, Ebola virus, Hepatitis B and etc. (Test method accredited according to MS ISO/IEC 17025).
Comparison- VS Bleach & Others Disinfectant
AVOTAB® is highly effective against MOST of the microorganism. It is effective even against the highly resistant bacteria spores and Non-Enveloped Virus. In fact, not all disinfectant created equal-(Broad Spectrum, Safety, Ease of use, Convenient, Storage, Versatile, Affordability)
AVOTAB® is very act fast against bacteria, all viruses, fungi, including HBV, Herpes, Tuberculin, bacterial spores & all the water pathogens. And since it is approved by the government for the health care services, AVOTAB® is a better alternative to liquid bleach or sodium hypochlorite.
It produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl) when dissolved in water, which creates a highly effective disinfectant. HOCl is the same molecule that is naturally produced in macrophages to kill ingested bacteria in our bodies. Depending on the pH of the water, HOCI dissociates into hydrogen ion and hypochlorous ion (OCI-) when dissolved. Though OCI- demonstrates biocidal activity, it is less effective than HOCI. The higher the pH, the greater the dissociation and the lower the efficacy. For example, the most common chlorine donor is BLEACH and, though it also produces HOCI, the solution is highly alkaline with a pH of 12 to 13. Hence, over 90% of the HOCL present is the lesser effective OCI-. The HOCl produced is a neutral pH. Therefore, the majority of it remains the more effective HOCl. From the perspective of the end-user, this means AVOTAB® can produce effective disinfection at lower concentrations than bleach. Furthermore, as a pH-neutral solution, it also presents fewer health risks. That’s why it’s used in so many industrial applications where gentleness is critical.
Of course, safety is the major benefit of all. Bleach can corrode metals, while AVOTAB® does not cause corrosive, on stainless steel. Besides the ease of use and dosage, saving in volume, weight, space and economic savings. On the other hand, it improves the environment, since, being solid tablets, the plastic containers are smaller and by taking advantage of the excess product. With AVOTAB® you will be able to save a lot hidden cost.
Safety
Absolutely, AVOTAB® is designed to be used for your surface disinfection all day. It is non toxic and does not leave harmful residue on surfaces.
It is safe, as it will not leave any harmful residue behind after its use. There is no toxic residue nor post-rinse required when used in recommended concentrations.
Do not rinse after disinfection as it will reintroduce contamination. AVOTAB® will not leave any harmful residue on the surface when it is completely dried up. Nevertheless, for fruit or vegetable to be consumed immediately, rinse well with potable or purified water.
The formulation present in AVOTAB® tablets dissolves in water, which are normally used in public health for drinking water purification. So, washing raw fruits & vegetables with chlorine solution has been shown to reduce the number of microorganisms present on their surfaces. For that you have to prepare 50-150 ppm solution.
Use according to guideline. As baby carry a weaker immune system. It is recommended for sterilizing baby utensils, at least twice a week.
No, it is not harmful to use AVOTAB® at home since it strictly follows all the guidelines that proves its safety.
Yes, it is safe for pregnant woman or children when used as per the prescribed dosage.
It is unlikely to cause skin irritation. Nevertheless, AVOTAB® is indicated for disinfection on hard surface, not on human skin.
The warnings on the insert apply to the tablet itself, not on the HOCL that is created when dissolved in water.
Drink plenty of milk or water. Although AVOTAB® is low toxicity, as ever with these matters you should always seek medical advice at your earliest opportunity.
Usage & Storage
Clean tap water. Slightly warm water is ideal for this process. Do not dilute with hot water.
Store these tablets in the provided container in cool and dry place. If in any case, use an air tight container to store these tablets.
AVOTAB effervescent tablets contain an active ingredient that is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the safest disinfectants, even for water purification. AVOTAB also has a 5.5 – 7.0 pH value which is not harmful to humans.
2-3 days in any sealed container. 24 hours in an open container or bucket. Nevertheless, to ensure maximum microbial performance, it’s always recommended to dilute a fresh solution everyday. The solution can be used in various way, including mopping floor and soak.
No, mainly for security. Also, to avoid dust and humidity. If a drop of water fell.
It is advisable not to mix with cationic detergents/chemical.
AVOTAB® is indicated for disinfection on hard surface, not on human skin.
It’s not advisable to be used on dehumidifier. Any disinfectant is not allowed for direct inhaled.
It’s not compatible to used on fogging machine. AVOTAB® solution is suitable to be used on any water-based spray devices.
Others
Yes. Only on white cloths.
Sanitizing is meant to reduce, not kill, the occurrence and growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Disinfecting a surface will “kill” the microscopic organisms as claimed on the label of a product at the appropriate strength and contact time.
Yes. Based on trials, stainless steel items showed no corrosion when exposed at concentrations of up to 1,000 ppm.
Since disinfecting solution is in liquid form, avoid spraying to parts with electrical items like panel boards, LED displays, controllers etc. Best to apply as “wipes” to aforementioned items.
