Metrex MetriCide 28

Yes, MetriCide 28 is an activated glutaraldehyde solution specifically formulated for the high-level sterilization and disinfection of sensitive, immersible, and heat-sensitive medical devices.

It offers broad material compatibility, making it safe for tools that cannot withstand standard high-temperature sterilization methods. Compatible materials and equipment include:

• Stainless steel instruments
• Rubber and plastic tools
• Anesthesia equipment
• Respiratory therapy equipment

This versatility allows it to be used for reprocessing non-critical, semi-critical, and critical medical devices.

Yes, testing is mandatory to ensure MetriCide 28 maintains its high-level sterilization efficacy throughout its usage period.

To comply with usage requirements and verify effectiveness, you must monitor the solution’s active ingredient concentration:

• Required Testing Accessory: You must use MetriTest 1.8% Test Strips.
• Purpose: The test strips verify that the solution’s active ingredient, activated glutaraldehyde, remains above the minimum effective concentration required for safe high-level sterilization.

This verification step confirms the solution is reliably sanitizing critical, semi-critical, and non-critical immersible medical equipment.

Yes, Metrex MetriCide 28 provides broad compatibility, making it an excellent solution for high-level sterilization, especially for items that cannot withstand traditional heat or steam.

This activated glutaraldehyde solution is suitable for disinfecting immersible medical equipment classified as non-critical, semi-critical, and critical devices. It is safe for use on a wide variety of materials, including:

• Stainless steel instruments
• Anesthesia equipment
• Respiratory therapy equipment
• Rubber components
• Plastic tools

Yes, MetriCide 28 is a specialized, long-life, activated dialdehyde solution.

This formulation is designed for high-level disinfection and sterilization of immersible and heat-sensitive medical equipment. It maintains its required effectiveness for up to 28 days after activation.

To ensure efficacy throughout the 28-day period, the solution’s minimum glutaraldehyde concentration must be periodically tested using Metrex MetriTest 1.8% Test Strips (#10-304).

MetriCide 28 is available in both gallon (4/Case) and quart (16/Case) sizes to suit different needs.

Yes, MetriCide 28 is an activated glutaraldehyde solution specifically formulated for high-level sterilization and disinfection.
