Pack sizes and packaging material	10 litres, 20 litres, 50 litres, 200 litres and 1 000 litres High Density Polyethene (HDPE) containers

4.4.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

Clean and dry the surfaces before disinfection.

If present, switch off the air-conditioning system. Close all windows. Close doors and where necessary, seal door cracks with adhesive tape. Make sure that outside the room there is a warning sign to not enter the room.

The product is used in combination with the fogging device Medibios Basic.

Dilution rate: 20 % dilution of the product (corresponding to 10 % H2O2) (20 ml of product with 50 % H2O2, add up to 100 ml with water)

Prepare the dilution manually or with an automated dosing system. Add the 20 % dilution to the fogging device using the dosing bottle.

Verify that there are no persons or animals present in the room.

Start the fogging device Medibios basic after setting the dosage per cubic meter. A delayed start of 15 seconds allows the user to leave the room before the fogging starts.

The device will automatically stop fogging. Allow a contact time of 2 hours after the biocidal product is fully diffused into the room.

After fogging and contact time, the room must be ventilated, preferably by mechanical ventilation. The duration of the ventilation period has to be established by measurement with suitable measurement equipment. The warning sign should be removed after this waiting period so that the public knows that the room can be entered again. Re-entry is only permitted once the air concentration has dropped below 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m³) or the corresponding national reference value, if applicable (see section ‘other information’ for details).

The professional user may only enter the room in emergency situations or to reactivate the ventilation when the hydrogen peroxide level has dropped below 36 ppm (50 mg/m³), considering RPE with APF 40 against vapour (full mask; type of RPE, coverall and gloves to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

Use a calibrated sensor to confirm the enclosure is below 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m³) or the corresponding national reference value prior to re-entry.

During emergency situations, the professional user is only allowed to enter during treatment when wearing suitable protective personal equipment and a self-contained breathing apparatus. See section below.

The user shall always carry out a microbiological and chemical validation of the disinfection in the rooms to be disinfected (or in a suitable ‘standard room’, if applicable) with the devices to be used, after which a protocol for disinfection of these rooms can be made and used thereafter.

4.4.2.   Use-specific risk mitigation measures

Make sure that outside the room there is a warning sign to not enter the room.

Leave the room within 15 seconds after starting the treatment and make sure that there are no persons or animals in the room.

2,5 hours after the end of the fogging, it is safe to enter the room again and to switch on the air-conditioning system. Remove the warning sign after this waiting period so that the public knows that the room can be entered again.

For re-entry in case of emergency: Wear a respiratory protective equipment (RPE) aerosol and gas filter consistent with EN 14387 or equivalent with an assigned protection factor of at least 40 (filter type (code letter, colour) to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information).

Re-entry is only permitted once the air concentration has dropped below 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m³) or relevant lower national reference value. Use a calibrated sensor to confirm the enclosure is below 0,9 ppm (1,25 mg/m³) or relevant lower national reference value prior to re-entry.
