Description
STERITECH Cold Sterilant 5L – High-Level Medical Instrument Disinfectant
STERITECH Cold Sterilant 5L is a high-level, ready-to-use disinfectant solution designed for the reprocessing of heat-sensitive medical, dental, and surgical instruments. Formulated with a proprietary blend of isopropyl alcohol, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), and tertiary amine, it provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity with convenient contact times.
This ready-to-use cold sterilant eliminates the need for dilution or mixing, helping simplify instrument reprocessing while reducing the risk of preparation errors. Its formulation includes corrosion inhibitors to help protect instruments during the disinfection process.
STERITECH Cold Sterilant offers bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal, sporicidal, and mycobactericidal efficacy. Depending on the specified application and validated contact time, it supports high-level disinfection and sterilisation processes.
Supplied in a convenient 5-litre container, it is suitable for medical practices, dental surgeries, healthcare facilities and professional instrument reprocessing environments.
For effective use, instruments must be thoroughly pre-cleaned and rinsed before immersion. The solution's potency should be monitored weekly using the appropriate Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) test strips.
