The answer to all your biosecurity needs in the hospital setting
Keeping hospitals safe and clean is our top priority. With our ready-to-use disinfectant, you can trust that your facility remains free from harmful pathogens. Discover the power of ESKAPEkill and ensure a healthier environment for your patients and staff.
THE PROBLEM
- High numbers of hospital acquired infections and deaths
- High costs associated with prolonged hospital stays as result of hospital acquired infections.
- High number of infections caused by Clostridioides difficile (formally Clostridium difficile) and other spore forming bacteria.
- High number of infections caused by multi drug resistant MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, and Enterococcus – commonly known as the ESKAPE pathogens.
- High numbers of cases caused by resistant yeast species.
ESKAPE Pathogens
Staphylococcus aureus
Enterobacter species
Acinetobacter baumannii
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Enterococcus faecium
Klebsiella pneumoniae
HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY?
We all know that there are major problems with antibiotic resistance and many of the ESKAPE pathogens are now multiple drug resistant strains. This makes is very difficult to treat patients who contract hospital acquired infections. Apart from the obvious major problem of patients dying, there is also substantial additional costs as a result of prolonged stays in the hospital.
Your answer to these problems is ESKAPEkill RTU.
WHAT IS ESKAPEKILL RTU?
- ESKAPEkill RTU (Ready-to-use)- as the name suggests, has been specially developed to tackle the problems caused by the ESKAPE pathogens, as well as Clostridioides difficile, in the hospital setting.
- ESKAPEkill RTU is in a “ready to use” format. There is no need for hospital and cleaning staff to take time to make complicated dilutions.
- ESKAPEkill RTU can be supplied in handy spray bottles and also in various refill packs.
Is safe to use?
All disinfectants have a level of toxicity. ESKAPEkill RTU is by far the least toxic of all disinfectants. PPE should still be used when staff and cleaners are working with any disinfectant. Ask your distributor for the MSDS (material safety data sheet) for details on toxicity and precautions. Read the registered product label for precautions.
Easy to use- NO dilution needed
ESKAPEkill RTUformulation is pre-diluted- no need for hospital staff to make difficult calculations and dilutions. Easy to refill spray bottles from bigger bottles of ESKAPEkill RTU.

Do not wipe the surfaces after applying ESKAPEki/1 RTU. Allow surfaces to dry.
Has a strong residual activity against bacteria, fungi and yeast
ESKAPEkill RTU, once dried, has a strong residual activity and will inactivate bacteria, fungi and yeast on contact even after it has dried. The residual can last for three to four days, depending on the level of re-contamination.

Is less prone to the development of resistance
Development of resistance to disinfectants is a major new concern. It is very possible that the pathogens which are causing problems in your hospital settings are not only resistant to antibiotics, but also to disinfectants.
It is very important to test the efficacy of the products which you are using in your hospital AGAINST THE STRAINS OF BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM YOUR HOSPITAL.

Odorless
ESKAPEkill RTU does not leave behind any strong or lingering smells, ensuring a pleasant environment for patients and staff.
Directions for use
USE ONLY AS DIRECTED
- ESKAPEkill RTU spray bottles can be used to disinfectant all surfaces by simply spraying the product onto the surfaces.
- Spray with a fine mist from about a quarter of a meter from the surface.
- Disinfect high-touch surfaces, such as bed rails, call buttons, doorknobs, and light switches, screens and monitors to prevent the spread of infections.
