Description
Key Features:
Dual-Enzyme Formula: The solution contains two types of enzymes, typically a protease and an amylase. The protease enzyme targets and breaks down protein-based materials like blood and tissue, while the amylase enzyme breaks down starches and carbohydrates. This dual action provides a broader spectrum of cleaning, effectively removing a wide range of organic soils.
Effective Cleaning: The enzymatic action is highly effective at disintegrating and lifting bioburden, even in hard-to-reach areas of complex instruments such as serrations, box locks, and channels.
Versatile Application: MDS88000B9 is suitable for various cleaning methods, including:
Manual cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning systems
Automatic washers and disinfectors
Instrument Compatibility: The formula is designed to be safe for a wide variety of materials commonly used in surgical instruments, including stainless steel, plastics, and other metals. It is also safe for delicate fiber-optic equipment like endoscopes.
Bacteriostatic Properties: The detergent helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria on instruments during the presoaking process, which is a critical step in preventing the formation of biofilms.
Concentrated Formula: It is typically sold as a concentrate that is diluted with water, making it a cost-effective solution for healthcare facilities.
Primary Uses:
Presoaking of Surgical Instruments: One of the main uses of MDS88000B9 is as a presoak for contaminated instruments immediately after a surgical procedure. Soaking the instruments prevents organic soils from drying and adhering to the surfaces, which makes the subsequent cleaning process much easier and more effective.
Decontamination of Medical Devices: It serves as a primary cleaning agent in the decontamination phase of instrument reprocessing. By effectively removing blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids, it prepares the instruments for high-level disinfection or sterilization.
Cleaning of Endoscopes and Scopes: Due to its gentle yet powerful cleaning action, it is recommended for the cleaning of delicate and complex medical devices such as endoscopes and cystoscopes.
Use in Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD): This product is a staple in the central sterile processing areas of hospitals and other healthcare facilities where the thorough cleaning of medical and surgical instruments is crucial for infection control and patient safety.
