About the Manufacturer: 

Texwipe (an ITW company) differentiates itself in contamination control by treating the wiper as an engineered product, not a commodity consumable. For sterile pre-wetted platforms like TechniSat, Texwipe emphasizes controlled solution preparation (including fine filtration), sterile processing via gamma irradiation, and packaging formats that support sterile transfer discipline—including the ability to wipe down the exterior pack prior to introduction into cleaner zones.

 

Texwipe also highlights lot-specific information (Certificates of Irradiation and Compliance) and expiration dating marked on each package to simplify record keeping and strengthen inspection readiness. SOSCleanroom (SOS) supports that documentation discipline with a close working relationship with Texwipe focused on continuity of supply, clean documentation handoff, and practical application support—so customers can standardize pre-wetted wipers with predictable performance while maintaining procurement reliability and audit readiness.

TX3217 Features:
  • Gamma irradiated to 10-6 Sterility Assurance Level, according to AAMI guidelines (per manufacturer guidance)
  • Lot-specific information simplifies record keeping
  • Certificate of Irradiation confirms radiation dosage
  • Certification of Compliance
  • Expiration date marked on each package
  • Pre-wetted with 70% isopropyl alcohol/30% deionized water, filtered through a 0.2µm filter
  • Binder-free, hydro-entangled polyester/cellulose substrate
  • Independent quality control audits for sterility assurance
TX3217 Benefits:
  • Optimizes solution usage: Pre-wetted presentation helps reduce over-wetting and spill potential versus uncontrolled bottle wetting (process-dependent)
  • Reduces in-house prep steps: Helps eliminate problems associated with filtration, sterilization, and mixing of alcohol and DI water
  • Supports sterile transfer discipline: Packaging permits alcohol wipe down of the exterior pack before introduction into sterile suites
  • Contamination control: Designed to offer low levels of solvent extractables and particle generation (process-dependent)
Common Applications:
  • Cleaning and polishing equipment and environmental surfaces during and following the production flow
  • Wiping gloved hands (as allowed by your gowning/aseptic SOP)
  • Sterile wiping of production equipment and laminar flow hoods requiring low solvent extractables and low particle generation
  • Routine alcohol wipe-downs in sterile environments (aseptic fill areas, sterile suites, prep rooms, microbiological laboratories)
Best-Practice Use:
  • Exterior wipe-down first: Before sterile transfer, wipe down the exterior flex-pack per your facility SOP, then introduce the pack into the cleaner zone.
  • One-wiper-at-a-time: Open only as needed; withdraw a single wiper and reseal promptly to limit IPA vapor loss and protect remaining wipers.
  • Wipe pattern: Use straight-line, overlapping strokes (top-to-bottom or left-to-right) to reduce re-deposition risk.
  • Fold for control: Fold to create multiple clean faces; rotate faces early rather than re-wiping with a loaded surface.
  • Change-out triggers: Replace when the face becomes visibly loaded, begins to smear residue, or loses wetting effectiveness on the target surface.
Selection Notes (TX3217 vs. Other Options)
  • TX3217 vs. TX3214: Same Sterile TechniSat 9" x 11" platform and 70% IPA pre-wet chemistry, but TX3217 is packaged 20 wipers/flexpack (24 flexpacks/case) while TX3214 is packaged 50 wipers/flexpack (24 flexpacks/case) for higher per-pack capacity.
  • Sterile vs. non-sterile TechniSat (e.g., TX1065/TX1067): Choose TX3217 when gamma-irradiated sterile presentation, expiration dating, and sterile documentation are required; choose non-sterile pre-wetted TechniSat when sterile processing is not required by your workflow.
  • Flex-pack vs. tubs/canisters: Flex-packs typically reduce footprint and support reseal discipline; tubs/canisters may be preferred for high-frequency access points where your SOP supports canister staging and closure controls.

ISO 14644 Operations Control Texwipe TechniSat® (Sterile) Polyester + Cellulose / Pre-wetted 70% IPA Sterile Surface Prep & Routine Wipe-Down 9" x 11" Lot Traceability

Texwipe TX3217 Sterile TechniSat® 9" x 11" Polyester/Cellulose Wiper (Pre-Wetted 70% IPA) — controlled wetness for repeatable sterile wipe-downs

Texwipe TX3217 is a sterile TechniSat® wiper (9" x 11") constructed from a polyester and cellulose blend and pre-wetted with 70% IPA to support consistent, operator-repeatable wipe-downs in controlled and aseptic workflows. Pre-wetted formats are commonly selected to reduce variability associated with manual wetting (over-wetting, pooling, and inconsistent coverage), especially when multiple operators perform routine wipe-downs across shifts. Blend wipes are often used where controlled absorbency and efficient pickup are desirable, while still requiring a documented method that prevents re-deposition and cross-contamination. As with all sterile wipe systems, the governing controls are correct introduction into the classified area, maintaining package integrity, and disciplined one-pass, one-face technique with 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: TX3217 supports ISO-aligned operations control by standardizing wetness at the wipe level. Method performance still depends on unidirectional strokes, clean-to-less-clean flow, and keeping primary packaging closed between uses to limit solvent loss and reduce handling contamination.


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 prep on smooth, non-product-contact surfaces prior to a defined disinfection step (as written in your SOP).
  • Wipe-down during aseptic interventions where sterility, package control, and disciplined change-outs are required.
  • Standardized wipe-down of tools and fixtures introduced into a controlled area, following material transfer and staging rules.
  • General sterile cleaning passes where absorbency and efficient pickup are desirable (validate method outcomes against your residue/surface-quality expectations).

Method note: Pre-wetted IPA wipes reduce wetting variability, but the SOP still must define stroke pattern, contact expectations, and change-out triggers. If pooling or 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, 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.
