Thank you for your offer Glaws2.

I do have some questions on product development ...
- how much is being spent on product development and marketing?
- what percentage reaches the market?
- and of the new products, how many are successful?

The reason for asking is that ...

Known products under development:
'Revolver' is no longer mentioned and now there is 'Puffin'

Products launched but seemingly discontinued:
Shine - Washer disinfector
Legion - disinfecting and descaling foam
Dental products: Dentel Duo / Dentel 100 / Dentel 5
Baby Products: Protect sporicidal foam / Protect bactericidal wipes
Tristel Life: 5 / Foam / Wipes system

Any idea why so much interest in tristel from Bolivia?
biggest number of non UK visits to the site

[glaws2] 16/2/2018 07:05

It's quiet at the moment as we are all waiting for next week's interims. I'm going to the presentation of you want any questions asked Piedro.

FYI,

You may have noticed the "Visitors counter" {by FlagCounter.com} in the header.
- I find it useful by reason of the fact that although I am sometimes the only person contributing, there have been for example, 670 odd pageviews in the last 30 days.
- from all parts



- please feel free to express your opinions, for better or for worse; I have it on good authority that members of the company do look in from time to time.

Best regards,:-)

The original 'Research Article' is well worth reading being well balanced regarding the results and also mentions the economics of each method

- there were 5 positive cultures found on post-decontamination swabs, 2 of which were from non-contaminated swabs !!
- which somewhat reduces the credibility of the study IMO

"We believe the positive cultures post decontamination are likely due to improper handling of the nasoendoscopes post decontamination rather than a result of inadequate disinfection."

Flexible nasoendoscopy decontamination: a comparison between Rapicide and Tristel wipes, a prospective cohort study

The post-decontamination swab culture results were four positive culture swabs for those disinfected with Tristel Wipes and one positive culture swab for Rapicide cohort. The efficacy of Rapicide was 98.8% compared to 94.7% for Tristel.

After statistical analysis, the difference between either was not considered to be statistically significant.

The study also noted that the positive cultures post-decontamination were likely due to improper handling of the nasoendoscopes rather than a result of inadequate disinfection.

In conclusion, the study validated the efficacy of Tristel Wipes as a comparable alternative to peracetic acid-based disinfectants for flexible nasoendoscopes. The study also concluded that Tristel is a more convenient, faster, more
portable and more ergonomic alternative to Rapicide.

- wonderful thing 'statistical analysis' !!!
- 4 vs 1 = no difference

I'm looking forward to Q2 results in 10 days time and hoping for positive news regards their progress with the EPA application for approval although it may be a little early for that since the update in December. The interim dividend announcement should also be interesting; I expect a small increase but that may be optimistic if the company is seeking to build a big war chest to exploit US opportunities when (if?) that comes.

I'm considering topping up ahead of results, especially if there is another dip down. Any similar thoughts out there?

Today's RNS -

Study shows comparable efficacy of Tristel Wipes

Tristel's chlorine dioxide wipes are validated as a viable alternative to peracetic acid disinfectants for the high-level disinfection of flexible nasendoscopes

Tristel plc (AIM: TSTL), the manufacturer of infection prevention products, announces that a study conducted at the Khoo Tech Puat Hospital, Singapore, has concluded that the Tristel Wipe has comparable efficacy to a world leading peracetic acid high-level disinfectant (Rapicide; Cantel Medical, New Jersey, USA), and provides significant other advantages to a hospital.

The study has been published in the International Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (Gan YJ et al. Int J. Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2018 Jan; 4(1):18-23). Cantel is one of the world's largest dedicated infection prevention companies quoted on the NYSE.

The study took place in the Ear, Nose and Throat clinic during 2014. One hundred patients volunteered to participate and for each endoscopic examination one nasendoscope disinfected by Rapicide and one nasendoscope disinfected by a Tristel Wipe was used to scope each nasal passage of the patient. From swabbing each nasendoscope pre and post disinfection to reveal evidence of bacterial contamination the study concludes that Rapicide and the Tristel Wipe are statistically equivalent in terms of efficacy.

In addition to being comparable with Rapicide the study identifies other significant advantages of the Tristel Wipe. These benefits are rapid turnaround of the nasendoscope (2-3 minutes for Tristel versus 20 minutes for Rapicide) which means the clinic can see more patients in a day with fewer nasendoscopes; Tristel's safety from a health standpoint, and the Tristel Wipe's portability which means that it can be easily taken to the emergency department or to the wards. This is important as even though most ENT departments are out-patient areas, frequently in-patients carry MRSA, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), and even tuberculosis, and need to have a nasendoscopy. The Tristel Wipe can easily be taken to them to enable the examination.

The Tristel Wipes System is a unique, patented decontamination method for non-lumened endoscopes and ultrasound probes. It has been a very significant sales success for the Company globally. Worldwide sales of the Wipes System in the financial year ending June 2017 were £11.5m.

Paul Swinney, CEO, comments: "We are pleased to see the publication in a peer-reviewed journal of yet another study comparing our Wipe with a leading peracetic acid high-level disinfectant - Cantel's Rapicide product. Peracetic acid is the most widely used high-level disinfectant chemistry in Europe and probably the United States also. The results affirm the key advantages of our Wipes over alternative chemistries and disinfection methods. These advantages are the level and speed of kill and the capability of our Wipe System to be deployed anywhere within a healthcare setting without the need for power, water and space. This is the thirty first peer-reviewed and published scientific paper featuring Tristel products - a body of evidence of our products' attributes that forms one of our Company's key strengths."

Sorry Piedro - the comment was in jest as I know full well Liz (who I have met many times) is the board FD; I just thought Oakley was inflating his role.

Tristel cleans up its approach to data with SAP Business One and Codestone
SAP Business One
Published on 1 Nov 2017
Tristel manufactures infection and contamination control products for medical instruments and surfaces in hospitals, veterinary practices and cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. Tristel was struggling to consolidate data from multiple branches, which created inconsistencies across the business. It chose SAP Business One for its flexibility, multi-language support and intuitive user interface. Now it can connect all of its entities worldwide, with real-time visibility into operations and finances, which enables head office to be more supportive and collaborative. As Tristel grows and develops new markets and entities, it has confidence that SAP Business One will grow side-by-side.
