High-level disinfection (minimum requirement) is recommended ONLY for
"semicritical" devices which only come into contact with intact mucosa or broken
skin. High-level disinfection is NOT recommended for "critical" devices (instruments)
to be used for hysteroscopy, neuroendoscopy, arthroscopy or laparoscopy.
Please see the Cidex OPA labelling for important contraindications concerning the
use of Cidex OPA on devices, particularly instruments which will be used for patients
affected by cancer of the bladder.
Any deviation from the recommended disinfection settings must be approved by
the user.
Prior to high level disinfection, the semi-critical devices must be carefully cleaned,
rinsed and dried as necessary.
To avoid damage to the devices, do not immerse the devices in disinfectant solution
for longer than one hour.
SOPRO recommends the use of a cleaning agent and sterilisation methodto prevent
unknown rates of deterioration of materials due to interactions between the material
and chemical products arising from different cleaning and sterilisation processes.
Do not mix peracetic acid based solutions with hydrogen peroxide based agents for
the processing of flexible endoscopes.
