Detro Activ

Detailed description

A concentrated powder disinfectant for cleaning and disinfecting medical instruments. Sodium percarbonate and TAED generate peracetic acid on dissolution, while the enzymes in the formula (amylase, lipase, protease) clean off organic soiling; corrosion inhibitors protect the instruments.

Directions for use

Dissolve the powder in a clean closed container (5 g per 1 L of water — 0.5%; 20 g per 1 L of water — 2%); immerse the instrument so the solution fills the surface and all cavities, then close the container; maintain the exposure time, then rinse the instruments with sterile or distilled water; the prepared solution may be reused during the day, replace it when heavily soiled; do not exceed the recommended contact time.
