About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in cleanroom wiping by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For Sterile Vertex, the manufacturer describes a fully automated ISO Class 3 micro-environment where the system cleans and converts sterile wipers with real-time process monitoring and alarms for critical parameters—aimed at improving lot-to-lot consistency and reducing handling-driven contamination risk.

 

TX3044P pairs that manufacturing discipline with sealed-edge construction, gamma irradiation aligned to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137, case-level documentation (Certificates of Processing and Compliance), and ongoing verification signals (quarterly Agarose Overlay and LAL endotoxin testing) positioned to support sterile program controls. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that documentation and process-control posture with a close working relationship focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff (certs, lot traceability), and practical application support—so customers can standardize sterile pre-wetted wiping materials with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX3044P Features:
  • 70% ethyl alcohol (ethanol) pre-wet
  • 100% polyester knit with a soft feel
  • Gamma irradiated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137
  • Certificates of Processing and Compliance attached to each case
  • Quarterly microbial testing by Agarose Overlay and Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) endotoxin testing
TX3044P Benefits:
  • Ethanol comfort profile: Ethanol is described as less toxic and less irritating to eyes than IPA, supporting longer operator exposure windows under applicable workplace limits (program-dependent).
  • Delicate-surface friendly: Ideal for use with delicate surfaces or applications where surface feel and controlled wiping matter.
  • Sterile assurance: Meets Sterility Assurance Level of 10-6 and confirms radiation dose met specified dose at time of receiving.
  • Endotoxin control support: Meets FDA guideline framing for medical device bacterial endotoxin limit of not more than 20 EU/device.
  • Repeatable wetness: Pre-wetted format supports consistent solvent delivery and reduces variability versus manual wetting methods (validate to your SOP and acceptance criteria).
Common Applications:
  • Cleaning equipment and environmental surfaces
  • Final wipe down after disinfection
  • Removal of culture residue from contact plates
  • Wiping gloved hands
Best-Practice Use:
  • Open-and-reseal discipline: Alcohol evaporation is a common hidden failure mode. Open the pouch, remove only what you need, and reseal promptly to maintain consistent wetness.
  • Fold for control: Fold into quarters to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces instead of re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to avoid re-depositing contamination.
  • Wet vs. dripping: The wipe is pre-wetted for controlled use; avoid squeezing out solution onto sensitive surfaces unless your SOP allows it.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace the wiper when the face becomes visibly soiled, begins smearing, or leaves streaks/residue.
Selection Notes (TX3044P vs. Other Options)
  • TX3044P (70% ethanol) vs. TX3042P/TX3049P (70% IPA): Choose TX3044P when ethanol is preferred for your program and workflow; choose the IPA formats when your SOP standardizes on IPA chemistry for routine wipe-downs.
  • 12" x 12" vs. 9" x 9": Use 12" x 12" when coverage per wipe matters; choose 9" x 9" when tighter spaces and hand control drive the decision.
  • Sealed edge vs. laser edge: If abrasion behavior, edge integrity, or surface sensitivity are key risks, compare sealed-edge and laser-edge Vertex formats within your qualification plan.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe Vertex® (Sterile) Polyester / Sealed Edge / Pre-wetted 70% IPA Sterile Surface Prep & Routine Wipe-Down 9" x 9" Lot Traceability
Texwipe TX3049P Sterile Vertex® 9" x 9" Polyester Sealed-Edge Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — sealed-edge control with standardized IPA wetness for repeatable sterile wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3049P Sterile Vertex® is a sterile, 9" x 9" polyester cleanroom wiper with a sealed edge, supplied pre-wetted with 70% IPA to support consistent, operator-repeatable damp-film wiping in controlled and aseptic workflows. Pre-wetted formats are commonly selected to reduce variability associated with manual wetting (over-wetting, pooling, and inconsistent coverage), particularly in routine wipe-down programs performed across shifts. The sealed edge provides an additional control at the wipe perimeter, which can be useful when cleaning near critical interfaces where loose edge fibers or uncontrolled fraying are a concern. As with all sterile wipe systems, outcomes depend on controlled introduction into the classified area, maintaining package integrity, one-pass/one-face technique, and defined change-out triggers. Final suitability should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits for residues, surface quality, and chemistry compatibility.

Operations takeaway: TX3049P supports ISO-aligned operations control by combining standardized IPA wetness with sealed-edge perimeter control. Keep primary packaging closed between uses to limit solvent loss and define discard triggers tied to smear risk, saturation, and zone boundaries.

ISO-first context: where wipers fit in cleanroom operations control

ISO 14644-5:2025 frames cleanroom performance around a documented Operations Control Programme (OCP) that governs personnel practices, material transfer, cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring. Wipers belong in that system because the wipe itself, the chemistry, and the technique directly affect residues, particles, and recontamination risk. If you clean parts, fixtures, tools, or work surfaces inside an ISO-class controlled environment, the method should be written, trained, and repeatable.

Control point: Most “wiper failures” are technique failures—over-wetting, re-wiping with a loaded face, backtracking into clean areas, or using a wiper beyond its change-out point.

Documentation rule: For controlled/validated programs, always base acceptance criteria on current manufacturer documentation and lot records (not web summaries).

What this wiper is designed to do (typical use cases)
  • Routine sterile wipe-down of benches, carts, and equipment touch points where controlled wetness improves repeatability versus manual wetting.
  • Controlled surface preparation using pre-wetted 70% IPA for smooth, non-product-contact surfaces (as written in your SOP).
  • Wipe-down during aseptic interventions where sterility, package control, and disciplined change-outs are required.
  • Cleaning near critical interfaces where sealed-edge construction supports controlled perimeter performance (validate on sensitive surfaces as needed).
  • Standardized wipe-down of tools and fixtures introduced into a controlled area, following material transfer and staging rules.

Method note: Pre-wetted IPA wipes reduce wetting variability, but the SOP still must define stroke pattern, contact expectations, and discard triggers. If streaking is observed, reduce pressure and confirm one-face-per-pass discipline. For confined geometries, define the swab method separately (one swab, one area; no re-dipping).

Best-practice use (reduce residues, particles, and rework)
  1. Control introduction: bring wipes into the cleanroom per your OCP rules (outer packaging removal, staging, and storage).
  2. Use clean-to-less-clean flow: wipe from the cleanest zone to the dirtiest zone; do not backtrack.
  3. Fold for control: fold to create multiple clean faces; use one face per pass, then refold.
  4. Damp-film technique: if using solvent, wet to a controlled damp state (not dripping).
  5. Straight-line strokes: use consistent pressure and unidirectional strokes; avoid circular scrubbing.
  6. Change-out triggers: discard when loaded, smeary, tacky, saturated, or when surface-quality requirements are at risk.

Method standardization tip: If outcomes differ by operator, lock four variables in the SOP: wetness target, stroke count, fold pattern, and change-out point.

Misuse controls & when not to use
  • If sterility is required: do not substitute a non-sterile wipe for sterile workflows.
  • If ultra-low residues/ions are gating: confirm requirements against current manufacturer documentation and your internal limits.
  • If the surface is easily scratched: validate on delicate finishes; avoid excessive pressure.
  • If chemistry is aggressive: verify compatibility and safety for solvents/cleaners; do not assume universal compatibility.
Recommended cleanroom glove pairing (ISO-aligned)

For ISO-controlled wiping applications, pair this cleanroom wipe with a cleanroom-processed, low-particle nitrile glove to reduce contamination transfer during handling and routine wipe-downs.

Glove discipline: Change gloves when contaminated, solvent-wet, torn, or after contacting non-controlled surfaces. Treat gloves as part of the wipe system.

Recommended sterile swab pairing (detail cleaning & confined geometries)

For ports, crevices, and recessed features where a wiper cannot maintain contact control, use a sterile cleanroom swab to keep the cleaning method consistent and to reduce accidental contact with critical surfaces.

Swab discipline: Use a strict “one swab, one area” approach for sterile workflows. Do not re-dip; discard immediately if the tip is overloaded or if the swab contacts non-sterile surfaces.
