DUPONT RelyOn Prion Inactivator will significantly reduce the potential risk of iatrogenic transmission of vCJD via surgical instruments and medical devices. Standard decontamination and sterilising procedures do not effectively remove the infectivity of prion proteins.
RelyOn Prion Inactivator is a patented combination of proteolytic enzymes, a surface active agent and a reaction potentiator resulting in a rapidly effective, pH neutral solution.
RelyOn Prion Inactivator not only reduces prion infectivity, but has a full range of microbiocidal efficacy and therefore provides operator safety for handling of instruments.
It addresses the concerns for iatrogenic transmission of vCJD expressed in the recent NICE Guidance and offers the NHS a simple and proven means to reduce the risk of secondary vCJD infections.
