INSTRUMENT DISINFECTANTS: TECHNICAL PROFILES
1. PRODUCT PROFILE: GLUTARALDEHYDE SOLUTION 2.45% w/v (WITH ACTIVATOR)
DESCRIPTION:
A powerful High-Level Disinfectant (HLD) specifically formulated for the terminal disinfection and cold sterilization of heat-sensitive critical and semi-critical medical instruments. This solution is a two-part system (base solution + activator) designed to provide broad-spectrum microbicidal activity once activated.
KEY TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES:
• High-Level Disinfection: Delivers reliable sterilization against bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores when used according to recommended contact times.
• Excellent Material Compatibility: Formulated to be gentle on delicate instruments. It demonstrates superior compatibility with optical lenses, high-grade metals, plastics, and rubber components found in complex endoscopic instrumentation, minimizing wear and tear over repeated cycles.
• Activation Required: Supplied with a separate activator vial to ensure maximum potency starting from the moment of first use.
2. PRODUCT PROFILE: ORTHO-PHTHALALDEHYDE (OPA) SOLUTION 0.55% w/v
DESCRIPTION:
A modern, ready-to-use, and rapid-acting High-Level Disinfectant containing 0.55% Ortho-phthalaldehyde. This advanced formulation is engineered for the manual or automated reprocessing of heat-sensitive semi-critical medical devices, particularly flexible endoscopes.
KEY TECHNICAL ATTRIBUTES:
• Rapid Action: Achieves high-level disinfection quickly, significantly optimizing workflow turnover times in busy endoscopy suites and Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD).
• Ready-to-Use Convenience: Requires absolutely no activation or dilution. This reduces handling time, minimizes worker exposure, and eliminates potential errors during preparation.
• Superior Instrument Safety: Engineered to have excellent compatibility characteristics, protecting investments in expensive and delicate endoscopic equipment while ensuring thorough microbial elimination.
