Rapicide™ OPA/28 RTU Disinfectant Solution | Gallon

Rapicide™ OPA/28 RTU Disinfectant Solution is a ready-to-use, high-level disinfectant specifically formulated for the reprocessing of heat-sensitive, semi-critical medical devices. Its active ingredient is 0.575% ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA), which ensures effective microbial inactivation.

Key Features:

• Rapid Disinfection: Achieves high-level disinfection in just 5 minutes at 77°F (25°C) or 10 minutes at room temperature (minimum 68°F or 20°C). 
• Extended Reuse Period: Offers a reuse life of up to 28 days, doubling the duration of many other OPA-based disinfectants. 
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both manual and automated endoscope reprocessing, providing flexibility in various clinical settings. 
• Material Compatibility: Non-corrosive to metal instruments and compatible with a wide range of medical device materials, ensuring the longevity and integrity of equipment. 
• User-Friendly: The solution is ready-to-use without the need for mixing or activation, simplifying the disinfection process.

Usage Guidelines:

• Disinfection Process: Immerse the medical device completely in the Rapicide™ OPA/28 solution, ensuring all surfaces are in contact with the disinfectant.
• Contact Time: Maintain a contact time of 5 minutes at 77°F (25°C) or 10 minutes at room temperature (minimum 68°F or 20°C) to achieve high-level disinfection.
• Rinsing: After the disinfection period, thoroughly rinse the device with sterile or potable water to remove any residual disinfectant.
• Reuse Monitoring: Utilize Rapicide™ OPA/28 Test Strips to verify that the solution's concentration remains above the minimum recommended concentration (MRC) of 0.35% OPA before each use. 

Safety and Handling:

• Protective Measures: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, gowns, and eye protection, when handling the disinfectant.
• Storage: Store the solution in its original container at controlled room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Disposal: Dispose of used solution and test strips in accordance with local regulations and institutional policies.

Rapicide™ OPA/28 RTU Disinfectant Solution is available in 1-gallon (3.8 liters) containers, with packaging options that include four bottles per case.

By incorporating Rapicide™ OPA/28 into your infection control protocols, you can ensure efficient and effective high-level disinfection of heat-sensitive medical devices, supporting both patient safety and equipment longevity.
