SQ53 Disinfectant Wipes for Prevention of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection in Patients Receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition: A Single Blind Randomized Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SQ53 Wipe and Ethanol Wipe for Catheter-related Bloodstream Infection. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
SQ53 is a novel antimicrobial, sporicidal solution that is based on a platform of quaternary ammonium chloride compounds. It has been tested against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, spores and fungal pathogens. Extensive laboratory testing has demonstrated the effectiveness of SQ53 impregnated wipes in cleaning surfaces including catheters over a 24 hour plus time period. SQ53 also received an in vitro evaluation of the irritancy potential using a tissue engineered human skin model and was found to have no potential for skin irritation. SQ53 is available as a sterilized pack with a single wipe inside. The pack is easy to open by tearing off the top end and presenting the contents to the operator to remove under sterile conditions. The current study will be a randomized single-blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial for SQ53 wipes intended for catheter cleaning in patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.
