General information Indications
Disinfection of infected wounds.
Disinfection of instruments, objects, equipment, linen.
Disinfection of floors and surfaces.
Water disinfection.
Beware! Not all formulations are convenient for use on wounds and for drinking water disinfection. Storage Store in dry and well ventilated places. Be sure containers are well sealed after use. Presentation Effervescent tablet containing the indicated amount of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (or NaDCC, or sodium troclosene, or sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione) which releases the indicated amount of chlorine when dissolved in water. Strength of solutions are generally not expressed in NaDCC concentration but in content of available chlorine; expressed either in percentage in parts per million (ppm) or in g or mg per litre (1ppm = 1mg/litre = 0.0001%). One tablet containing 1.67g NaDCC releases 1g available chlorine when it is dissolved in water. 1g available chlorine per litre = 1g/litre or 0.1% or 1000ppm available chlorine. Water and Sanitation

Unlike Calcium hypochlorite which is corrosive (pH of solution is 14 to 16) and needs the addition of Sodium Bicarbonate to decrease its alkalinity, NaDCC solution may be used on wounds because its pH is 6 to 7. Use Disinfection of wounds: 1 tablet of 1g per litre = 1000ppm or 0.1% available chlorine. Instruments disinfection: 1 tablet of 1g per litre = 1000ppm or 0.1% available chlorine. General disinfection: Clean conditions: 1 tablet of 1g per litre = 1000ppm or 0.1% available chlorine. i.e. clean surfaces, clean white linen, clean equipment. “Medium clean” conditions: 2 tablets of 1g per litre = 2000ppm or 0.2% available chlorine. i.e. floors, sinks. “Dirty” conditions: 5 tablets of 1g per litre = 5000ppm or 0.5% available chlorine. i.e. equipment soiled with blood, sputum…, laboratory equipment… Wait minimum 15 minutes before rinsing. Blood spillage: 10 tablets of 1g per litre = 10 000ppm or 1% available chlorine. Drinking water disinfection: 1 tablet of 1g per 200litres clear water = 5mg/l = 5ppm available chlorine. 1 tablet of 5mg per 1litre clear water = 5mg/l = 5ppm available chlorine. Allow contact for 30 minutes minimum before drinking. To treat smaller quantities: use the tablets of 5mg (1 tablet per litre). For large scale water treatment, the use of calcium hypochlorite is recommended, unless transport constraints and prices are prohibitive. Precautions Do not swallow the tablets. Avoid inhalating vapour and dust during handling. Do not expose the product to flame. Do not incinerate. As a precaution, do not mix with detergents. Toxic chlorine gas can be released with some types of detergent. Only anionic detergents (i.e. soft soap) can safely be mixed with NaDCC solutions. Do not mix with acid solutions (i.e. urine). This causes a release of toxic chlorine gas. Prepare solutions with clean water in non metallic containers, just before use. Toxicology information Signs, symptoms, and effects of exposure: EYE: Exposure may cause severe irritation and/or chemical burns with corneal damage. Impairment of vision is possible. SKIN: Accurate exposure can cause severe irritation and/or chemical burns Chronic exposure effects would be similar to those from accurate exposure except for effects secondary to tissue destruction. Prolonged skin exposure may cause dermis destruction with impaired skin regeneration at the site of contact. INGESTION: Ingestion can cause irritation and/or chemical burns to the gastrointestinal tracts characterized by nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bleeding and ulceration. Chronic toxicity via this route is unlikely due to its corrosive nature INHALATION: Acute exposure may cause severe irritation to respiratory tract resulting in lung oedema which can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, choking, chest pain and impaired lung function. Inhalation of high concentrations can result in permanent lung damage Chronic exposure may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage. 380
