NEW YORK – Kinnos, the makers of Highlight, a color system for critical disinfectants, are launching the next generation of their product at this year’s Association for Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) conference in Indianapolis, IN. Highlight temporary colors of disinfectant wipes already used by hospitals, giving staff a visual indication of where they have been wiped and instantly improving the quality of disinfection. First designed for use with liquid bleach and ready-to-use bleach wipes during the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Highlight can now paint the most common type of healthcare disinfectant, quaternary ammonium wipes (quat ammonium). ).

Highlight is now ready for widespread use in healthcare facilities that seek to improve infection prevention practice and patient satisfaction. Highlight for Quat Wipes allows healthcare systems that use mainly quat-based wipes to take advantage of Highlight’s benefits. Peer-reviewed studies show that Highlight for Bleach Wipes improves cleanliness scores by up to 70%, proving a significant opportunity to improve the quality of hospital care and beyond.
“Asking someone to disinfect a surface with a transparent disinfectant is like asking them to clean with their eyes closed. “Highlight effectively removes the blinds from the cleaning staff, enabling them to improve their performance,” explains Jason Kang, CEO of Kinnos. “This critical product compatibility means that more patients can be protected through the use of Highlight, a step that we believe will dramatically reduce the risk of infection.”

The rapid development of Kinnos is attributed to the elegance of the product’s response to two fundamental challenges to the quality of healthcare: 1) Manual cleaning is necessary, but full of human error, and 2) Patients seek proof that the care environment is safe. Solving both of these problems, Highlight sees itself being adopted by brand hospitals across the country. Earlier this year, Highlight was announced as one of the winners of the COVID-19 Response Challenge in collaboration with the New York / New Jersey Port Authority.
“Quat products are also common in airports, public transportation systems and industrial cleaning,” Kang added. “We are proud to see Highlight implemented far beyond healthcare to stop infections wherever the public is at risk.”
