Use and Handling of Peracidin
The cap on each container is vented to prevent excessive pressure buildup within the container during shipping and storage.
As with other disinfectants used in dialyzer reprocessing,
testing should be performed to show that:
1. The dialyzer was exposed to the correct disinfectant concentration (peracetic acid reagent test) and
2. The disinfectant has been properly removed (rinsed) from the dialyzer prior to clinical use (residual peroxide reagent test).
In the concentrated form, Peracidin stability is maintained for one year when properly stored. Once diluted, deterioration of the active ingredient commences, and the resulting solution must be used within seven days.
Use care when disconnecting the dialyzer from the automated reprocessing system or when removing caps from the dialyzer following storage to avoid being sprayed with Peracidin solution.
Use only caps specified for use with peracetic acid to close the dialysate and blood ports. Ventable dialysate port caps are recommended for venting pressure from the dialyzer before removal of port caps is attempted. Dialyzer caps should be disinfected with 1% Peracidin solution (99 parts AAMI-quality water and 1 part Peracidin.)
Dialyzers must be completely filled with Peracidin solution after storage and before rinsing.
After a minimum storage time of 11 hours and before the dialyzer is rinsed, a solution sample must be taken from the dialysate compartment and tested for the presence of Peracidin, utilizing peracetic acid reagent strips (PeraChek Peracetic Acid Potency Test Kit Product Number 1701-01). The test must indicate adequate positive results before the dialyzer is rinsed.
After rinsing of the dialyzer and prior to clinical use, a rinse sample must be taken from the blood compartment and tested, using a hydrogen peroxide residual test strip (PeraSidual Residual Peroxide Test Kit, Product Number 1702-01). The test must indicate negative results before use of the dialyzer on the patient.
