CliniEco Ultrasonic Multi-Enzyme Cleaning Solution — Low-Foam Concentrate, 1:400–1:600

CliniEco Ultrasonic Multi-Enzyme Cleaning Solution — Low-Foam Concentrate

This concentrate is the chemistry that goes into a benchtop bath such as the CS6.2 dual-frequency 6 L ultrasonic cleaner. What follows is written for the person who has to buy it by the pail, dose a tank and explain the cost of a cycle.

A cleaning agent built for the ultrasonic bath, not adapted to it. The concentrate is formulated low-foam so cavitation energy goes into the instrument surface instead of into a head of bubbles, and it dilutes 1:400–1:600 — one 5 L pail makes 2,000 to 3,000 litres of working solution.

Four enzyme classes — protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase — plus biosurfactants break down blood, protein, fat and biofilm in a 2 to 10 minute cycle at 20–50 °C. Phosphate-free, no VOCs, freely rinsable, and non-corrosive to stainless steel, anodised aluminium and plated instruments.

Dilution and cost per cycle

A 6 L ultrasonic tank needs 15 mL of concentrate at 1:400 (10 mL at 1:600). At the 5 L pack price that is under twenty cents of chemistry per cycle — the smallest line in the cleaning step, and the one that decides whether bioburden actually comes off before the autoclave.

Specifications

What this product is — and is not

It is a cleaning agent. Its job is to remove organic soil so that the following sterilisation step can reach the instrument surface. It is not a disinfectant and not a sterilant, and this page makes no disinfection or sterilisation claim for it. Instrument cleaning and the subsequent sterilisation are two separate steps, and no cleaning solution replaces the autoclave.

Because no disinfectant claim is made, the product does not require a Health Canada DIN. It is used in ultrasonic baths, immersion hand-washing and washer-disinfectors as the cleaning chemistry — always followed by rinsing and then sterilisation.

Compliance and documentation

• Manufacturer documentation and a certificate of analysis (CoA) are available on request for each lot.
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available on request; handle per supplier SDS and WHMIS requirements.
• CliniEco Medical is the Canadian importer and the party named on the label; MDEL #35334.

Using it properly

1. Fill the tank to the working line, add concentrate at 1:400 (heavily soiled) to 1:600 (routine), and mix.
2. Open hinged instruments fully; inject solution into lumens with a syringe.
3. Immerse everything below the liquid level, close the lid, run 2–10 minutes at 20–50 °C.
4. Remove, rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry and sterilise as usual.
5. Prepare fresh solution each session — a working bath is not reused, and the concentrate should not be diluted in advance.

How much working solution does a 1 L bottle or a 5 L pail actually make?

The yield is set by the dilution, and the dilution on this listing is wide: 1:400 for heavily soiled instruments, 1:600 for routine loads. A 1 L bottle therefore makes 400 litres of working solution at the stronger mix and 600 litres at the weaker one; a 5 L pail makes 2,000 or 3,000 litres. Put against the pack prices on this page, a litre of working solution costs about 4.7 cents from the bottle and about 3.0 cents from the pail at 1:400 — the pail costs less per litre of bath, which is the whole reason to buy it once a practice runs a 6-litre benchtop bath such as the CS6.2 dual-frequency ultrasonic cleaner every day.

What does one tank fill cost at each dilution?

A 6-litre ultrasonic tank takes 15 ml of concentrate at 1:400 and 10 ml at 1:600. At the pail price that is about 18 cents of chemistry for a strong load and about 12 cents for a routine one; at the bottle price it is about 29 cents and 19 cents. Either way the chemistry is the smallest line in the cleaning step — smaller than the labour of loading the bath and far smaller than the cost of a failed sterilisation cycle — which is why the decision should be made on dilution control and rinsing rather than on shaving a cent per cycle.

Which standards govern the cleaning step this concentrate feeds?

The chemistry is one input to a process that has its own requirements. ISO 15883-1:2024, Washer-disinfectors — Part 1: General requirements, terms and definitions and tests (valid from 4 October 2024, checked 2 November 2026) sets general performance requirements for washer-disinfectors, including the validation, routine control and requalification methods, and it explicitly does not cover machines intended to sterilise the load. In Canada, CSA Z314:23, Canadian medical device reprocessing in all health care settings (CSA Group, 2023, checked 2 November 2026) is the standard that addresses reprocessing across the workflow. An ultrasonic bath and its chemistry sit upstream of the steriliser in both documents, which is the point a practice should be able to state in an inspection.

Does a cleaning solution need a DIN in Canada?

No, and the distinction matters when a supplier hands over paperwork. Health Canada's guidance on disinfectants states that before they can be sold in Canada they require a pre-market assessment and a drug identification number (checked 2 November 2026); disinfectants are regulated as drugs. This concentrate makes no disinfection or sterilisation claim — its job is to remove organic soil so the following sterilisation step can reach the instrument surface — so it is not registered as a drug and has no DIN. What it should have, and what a practice should file, is the safety data sheet and the certificate of analysis for the lot.

What does the certificate of analysis actually cover?

A CoA is a lot-level document: it reports what was measured on the batch that filled the pail, not what the product is capable of. Ask for it with the lot number on the label, keep it with the SDS in the decontamination area, and match the lot to the container in use. Manufacturer documentation and a CoA are available on request for each lot, and the SDS is available for WHMIS purposes — the same three documents an inspector asks for when the question is "what chemistry is in that bath".

Dilution discipline in a multi-chair practice

The common failure is not the product, it is the measuring. A bath made "by eye" drifts towards too strong, which leaves residue that the rinse has to remove, or too weak, which leaves bioburden for the steriliser to fail on. Measure with a syringe or a dedicated cup, write the ratio on the wall beside the tap, and make the bath fresh each session — a working bath is not reused and the concentrate is not diluted in advance. Instruments that leave the bath go into a Class 4 self-sealing sterilization pouch, and the cycle that follows is checked with a 24-hour biological indicator. Dilution questions for a particular machine go to the compliance desk; for multi-chair practices, volume pricing goes through the clinic ordering desk, and the record sheet for each bath prints from the compliance log centre.
