RAPICIDE™ OPA/28 High-Level Disinfectant & Test Strips

RAPICIDE™ OPA/28 High-Level Disinfectant is a reusable ortho-phthalaldehyde disinfectant for use on heat-sensitive, semi-critical medical devices.

How RAPICIDE™ OPA/28 High-Level Disinfectant Works

This high-level disinfectant can be used for manual or automated endoscope reprocessing of heat-sensitive, semi-critical medical devices. This product effectively inactivates pathogenic organisms such as Tuberculosis (TB), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE), and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) with a 5-minute contact time at 77°F (25°C), or 10-minute contact time at room temperature (min, 68°F (20°C)).*

Why RAPICIDE™ OPA/28 High-Level Disinfectant?

Reprocesses devices in a shorter amount of time and is reusable for up to twice as long as other OPA-based disinfectants.

• 5-minute contact time at 77°F (25°C)
• 10-minute contact time at room temperature (min 68°F (20°C))
• Can be used in either manual or automated endoscope reprocessing
• Up to 28-day reuse life, when minimum required concentration is confirmed with RAPICIDE OPA/28 Test Strips
• Only requires two rinses when used in a MEDIVATORS™ Automated Endoscope Reprocessor; three rinses if used in manual soaking applications

RAPICIDE™ OPA/28 Test Strips
