Clinell, providing a war between EBME and Infection control for a decade and counting.
If you read the correct instructions for clinell wipes it will explain that you should apply the wipe and then return with a damp cloth to remove the coating of Clinell. This is OK if the staff have the spare time to achieve this but just how do measure "damp".
Manufacturers are wising up to Clinell and its abrasiveness and Welch Allyn have gone so far in being able to supply you a roll of stickers to say "Im Clinell safe".
Clinell is indeed very effective in infection control but its does have the power to remove the soul from anything it touches.
We have only just resolved an issue with a Clinell effect on our range of infusion pumps, thankfully the manufacturer is understanding. Fight GE on this and unless they can supply to evidence against you then they should revisit they're own recommendation.
