Aunque el fabricante garantiza la efectividad de los mismos es necesario probarlos en el entorno farmacéutico donde se van a utilizar.  Método:  se evaluaron tres desinfectantes, NDP-Surfaplus en concentración del 70%, NDP-Surfaclin en concentración del 2% y 0,5% y Tristel Jet gel activado a la concentración 0,12%. Se practicaron hisopados antes y después de la aplicación del desinfectante a tramos de superficies de paredes, pisos, mesetas de mármol y fregaderos de acero inoxidable, De cada superficie se escogieron los tramos que presentaban mayor dificultad para realizar los procesos de limpieza y desinfección. El método de conteo utilizado fue el de placa vertida.  Resultados:  se demostró que los desinfectantes cumplieron con la reducción del 90% de la población microbiana inicial, exceptuando la concentración del 0,5% del desinfectante NDP-Surfaclin. Se aisló mayor número de microorganismos en las superficies que tenían tendencia a formar poros debido a la erosión de los procesos de limpieza y desinfección, así mismo se demostró que los desinfectantes tenían una mejor actividad en las superficies de acero inoxidable.  Conclusiones:  se demostró la efectividad de los desinfectantes en el entorno farmacéutico de la línea de formulación aprobándose su uso para los procesos de limpieza y desinfección. El desinfectante de mejor actividad fue el NDP-Surfaplus a la concentración del 70%.]]></p></abstract>

Although the manufacturer guarantees their effectiveness, it is necessary to test them in the pharmaceutical environment where they are to be used.  Method:  Three disinfectants were evaluated, NDP-Surfaplus in 70% concentration, NDP-Surfaclin in 2% and 0,5% concentration and Tristel Jet gel activated at 0,12% concentration. Swabs were performed before and after the application of the disinfectant to sections of wall surfaces, floors, marble plateaus and stainless-steel sinks. From each surface the sections that were most difficult to carry out the cleaning and disinfection processes were chosen. The counting method used was the poured plate method.  Results:  The disinfectants were shown to meet the stipulated acceptance criteria with a 90% reduction in the initial microbial population, except for the 0,5% concentration of the NDP-Surfaclin disinfectant. A greater number of microorganisms were isolated on surfaces that had a tendency to form pores due to erosion from cleaning and disinfection processes, and it was also shown that disinfectants had a better activity on stainless steel surfaces.  Conclusions:  The effectiveness of disinfectants in the pharmaceutical environment of the formulation line was demonstrated, approving their use for cleaning and disinfection processes. The best-performing disinfectant was NDP-Surfaplus at the 70% concentration.]]></p></abstract>
