Avoid contact between Peracidin concentrate or solution and combustible materials.

Peracidin undergoes rapid decomposition if allowed to contact metal, dust or organic materials, or if it is diluted with water failing to meet the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Standards for Hemodialysis Systems (May 14, 1982).

All diluted Peracidin should be used within seven days.

Precautions:
All users should be adequately trained in the decontamination and disinfection of medical devices and the handling of toxic substances such as liquid chemical germicides. All personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the cautions and "Instructions for Use" of Peracidin before use.

To avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear gloves, eye covering and other appropriate protective equipment or clothing.

A hollow fiber dialyzer that is cleaned, reprocessed and disinfected with this chemical is filled with a solution of Peracidin (hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid). The Peracidin solution must be thoroughly rinsed from the dialyzer prior to clinical use.

To optimize the effective reprocessing of dialyzers, use of Peracidin must be part of a reprocessing procedure validated by the manufacturer of the dialyzer reprocessing system for use with peracetic acid. Since Peracidin is formulated to be used only for dialyzer reprocessing, the user should follow the dilution instructions recommended by the system manufacturer for the use of peracetic acid concentrates intended for dialyzer reprocessing.

Any modifications of the "Instructions for Use" will affect the safety and effectiveness of Peracidin. It is the user's responsibility to validate any deviations from the "Instructions for Use."

Always store Peracidin in the original shipping container and shipping box. Never tamper with the vent cap.

Do not store in direct sunlight. Peracidin is provided in a translucent container in a shipping carton. Since Peracidin is light-sensitive, the user must not remove the container from the shipping carton except during dilution prior to use. The container should be replaced in the shipping carton following dilution.

Maintain storage temperature at or below 86 o F (30o C).
