Victoria WebbContent Marketing SpecialistDecember 13, 2023

As our range of infection prevention and control products continues to expand, so does our commitment to prioritizing preventive measures. This enhanced emphasis on prevention and control has become increasingly crucial within all facilities. To ensure the safety and well-being of individuals, we believe in implementing stringent measures that safeguard staff and visitors.

With over 85 years of experience, Levitt-Safety, a trusted leader in safety products, is dedicated to offering comprehensive solutions tailored to the unique needs of both public and private workplaces. In this blog, we will delve into how our infection prevention and control products can play a pivotal role in creating a safer and more secure environment.

1.    COVID-19 Test Kits: 

Early detection of infectious diseases is crucial in preventing outbreaks within facilities. Abbott's Panbio Test Kits have become an indispensable resource for such facilities, facilitating proactive management of infectious diseases. These kits provide a fast and dependable method for early detection, a crucial element in preventing potential outbreaks within the facility. Levitt-Safety is the trusted provider of Panbio Test Kits, ensuring that your facilities have a dependable tool for conducting rapid tests. These kits are essential in monitoring the health of residents and staff, allowing for timely isolation and treatment if necessary (Abbott, 2023). 

Are the Panbio Test Kits suitable for frequent testing in your facility?

The Panbio test kits are suitable for frequent testing in your facility as the test was designed to be easy to use and was advertised as an option for mass testing in decentralized settings (John Tasker, 2020).  Health Canada has authorized it as a "point-of-care" test, meaning it can be used by trained professionals in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies, physician offices, ambulances, nursing, long-term care facilities, patient residences, or other community-based point-of-care settings (British Columbia Pharmaceutical Care, 2022).

What is the shelf life of Panbio Test Kits, and how should they be stored?

On September 9, 2021, Health Canada authorized a shelf-life extension from 12 to 24 months for Abbott's Panbio Test Kits (Ontario Health, 2021). If your facility is concerned about the storage of these kits, the Panbio Test Kits should be kept at a temperature between 2-30°C and must not be frozen. If stored in a refrigerator, all components must be brought to room temperature (15-30°C) for at least 30 minutes before conducting the test, and the pouch should not be opened until components have reached the appropriate temperature (Ontario Health, 2021). 

2.  All Clean Ultra Fragrance-Free Disinfectant Wipes: 

Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is fundamental to infection control. Levitt-Safety offers a range of decontamination wipes and cleaning products designed to effectively disinfect surfaces, equipment, and shared spaces. These products are essential in reducing the risk of transmission within your facility. 

What regulatory approvals and certifications does All Clean Ultra Fragrance-Free Disinfectant Wipes have?

These wipes are registered and approved by Health Canada with DIN # 02519984, indicating their compliance with Canadian regulatory standards. However, it's important to check local regulations and guidelines for specific requirements in your region.

Why should I consider purchasing All Clean Ultra Fragrance-Free Disinfectant Wipes for my facility?

You should consider purchasing All Clean Ultra Fragrance-Free Disinfectant Wipes for facility because these wipes offer a highly effective and safe solution for maintaining a clean and hygienic environment. They are proven to kill SARS-CoV-2 within 30 seconds and are 99.9% effective against common bacteria. They are safe to use around sensitive residents, gentle on surfaces, Health Canada-approved, and conveniently available in bulk for a more cost-effective purchase.

How should All Clean Ultra Fragrance-Free Disinfectant Wipes be stored to ensure their effectiveness and safety?

These wipes should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated space with containers tightly closed. Freezing should be avoided, as it may cause spills or ruptures. They should also not be mixed with other chemicals to prevent potentially dangerous reactions.
