RSV | PREPARE BEFORE WINTER PRESSURES BUILD

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness, particularly in babies, young children, older adults and those who are more vulnerable.

As we move towards the autumn and winter respiratory season, good infection prevention becomes even more important across healthcare, care settings and other high-risk environments.

That means getting the basics right every day:

• Cleaning high-touch surfaces regularly
• Using appropriate disinfectants correctly
• Maintaining strong hand-hygiene procedures
• Following IPC guidance
• Protecting patients, staff and visitors

At Day-Impex, our focus is on supplying practical hygiene and infection-prevention solutions that help organisations maintain consistently high standards before seasonal pressures increase.
Prevention works best when it is already part of the routine.

What is your organisation doing now to prepare for the winter respiratory season?

HOW PREPARED IS YOUR INFECTION PREVENTION RESPONSE BEFORE AN INCIDENT HAPPENS?

The latest Ebola situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a powerful reminder that infection prevention cannot begin when an incident occurs. WHO’s latest update reports continued expansion of the outbreak and confirms that it remains a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

For healthcare and organisations supporting international operations, preparedness means having the complete response already in place,

• Appropriate PPE
• Body-fluid and spill-response kits
• Absorbent materials and clinical-waste containment
• Dry-wipe and surface hygiene systems
• Effective cleaning and disinfection
• Clear procedures, training and escalation protocols

Rely+On® Virkon® can form part of that wider infection-prevention approach, alongside the correct PPE, spill-management equipment and established procedures.

At Day-Impex, we are continuing to expand our human-health range around a simple principle: give professionals the practical products they need before they need them.
Because good infection prevention isn’t about reacting to the next headline.

It’s about being ready for it.

September puts infection prevention firmly in focus as we look ahead to IP2026 in Leeds.

This month, Day-Impex will be attending IP2026 alongside our partners LANXESS, joining infection-prevention professionals from across the NHS, healthcare, research and industry.

The event brings together some of the most important conversations in modern IPC from decontamination and environmental hygiene to antimicrobial stewardship, preparedness, patient safety and innovation.

These are areas that closely reflect the work we do every day.
From specialist disinfectants and dry-wipe systems to spill response, PPE and wider hygiene consumables, our focus remains on providing practical solutions that help healthcare professionals maintain effective infection-prevention standards.

We’re looking forward to meeting customers, partners and healthcare professionals in Leeds and sharing more throughout September as IP2026 approaches.

Bluetongue remains an important animal-health consideration across Great Britain, with further affected holdings reported in Scotland.

While bluetongue is transmitted by biting midges, maintaining strong everyday farm biosecurity remains essential for protecting livestock operations from wider disease risks.

Good biosecurity starts with the basics clean vehicles, equipment, footwear, handling areas and animal housing, supported by effective cleaning and disinfection procedures.

Virkon® LSP can form part of a wider farm hygiene and disinfection programme, helping agricultural businesses maintain robust biosecurity standards.

Disinfection is not a treatment for bluetongue and does not replace vaccination, movement controls, veterinary advice or official guidance.

Day-Impex continues to support farms, veterinary distributors and agricultural businesses with practical animal-health and biosecurity solutions.

Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.

EMERGING INFECTIONS: BIOSECURITY MATTERS MORE THAN EVER

Between 60% and 80% of emerging infections are derived from animal sources,

The emergence of infectious disease is rarely driven by one factor alone. Changes in our environment, global travel and trade, agricultural practices, microbial adaptation and weaknesses in hygiene and public-health measures can all contribute to the introduction and spread of disease.

That is why effective biosecurity matters across every setting from healthcare and public environments to agriculture, animal health, aquaculture, food production, industry, transport and beyond.

Biosecurity should not begin when an outbreak occurs. It should be part of everyday risk management.

At Day-Impex, we believe prevention starts with preparation:

• Effective hygiene and disinfection protocols
• Correct product selection and application
• Strong infection prevention procedures
• Awareness of emerging biological risks
• Consistent biosecurity standards across all environments

Protecting people, animals and environments starts with stronger biosecurity.

Emerging threats change. Good biosecurity principles remain essential.

Clean Beyond the Bench Dewar Care

Bench-top Dewars are working pieces of laboratory equipment and they deserve the same consideration within your cleaning and maintenance routines as the surrounding workspace.

DILVAC® Dewars are designed for demanding laboratory and cryogenic applications. Cleaning should follow the vessel’s maintenance guidance, with the inner vessel allowed to defrost fully before cleaning and material compatibility considered whenever disinfectants are used.

Clean equipment. Safe handling. Reliable performance.

Rely+On® Virkon® in Laboratories

A laboratory cleaning protocol needs to consider far more than the workbench. Equipment handles, touchpoints, floors, doors, work surfaces and shared laboratory areas can all form part of an effective disinfection programme.

Rely+On® Virkon® is designed for hard-surface and laboratory equipment disinfection and can be applied by spray, cloth, sponge or mop in accordance with the product instructions. Material compatibility should always be checked before use.
Day-Impex supplies Rely+On® Virkon® alongside technical information and practical support for laboratory and healthcare customers.

Good laboratory hygiene goes beyond what you can see.
Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.

Cryogenic Safety Starts With the Right Protection
Working with liquid nitrogen and other cryogenic materials demands the right equipment and the right operator protection. Day-Impex supplies DILVAC® cryogenic equipment alongside specialist PPE including cryogenic gloves, face protection and equipment designed for extreme-temperature environments.
Safe cryogenic handling starts before the vessel is opened: suitable PPE, correct procedures, appropriate ventilation and properly maintained equipment all matter.
Protect the process. Protect the person.

IPC and the Fight Against AMR

Antimicrobial resistance cannot be tackled by antibiotics alone. Preventing infections in the first place reduces the opportunity for healthcare-associated infections to occur and reduces pressure on antimicrobial use. WHO identifies strong IPC, hand hygiene and access to quality WASH services as important interventions in reducing healthcare-associated infection.

That makes infection prevention a key part of the wider fight against AMR.

Prevention Strengthens Protection.

Ebola remains one of the most serious infectious disease threats faced by healthcare systems and communities. The current Bundibugyo virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to show why preparedness, strong infection prevention procedures and dependable supply chains matter. WHO reported intense transmission across six provinces in its latest detailed outbreak update.

At Day-Impex, we support healthcare organisations, laboratories and response teams with professional biosecurity products, laboratory equipment, PPE and technical support. Preparedness is not about creating alarm it is about having the right systems, products and support in place before they are needed.
Prepared today. Better protected tomorrow.
