Product Profile
Instructions for use
gigasept® PAA is active immediately and stable over 7 days or 50 cycles. The solution can be tested using gigasept® PAA test strips otherwise, please respect your particular conditions of use, local guidelines and regulations.
Always ensure the pre-cleaning of the endoscope and a complete wetting of the surfaces. Immerse hollow objects in such a way that air escapes completely from the lumen. After the necessary contact time rinse carefully with sterile or filtered water before re-use. gigasept® PAA can be used in semi-automated endoscope reprocessors that are compatible with peracetic acid. Please check the compatibility of endoscopes and reprocessors with peracetic acid. Avoid the mixing of gigasept® PAA with other products (cleaner, disinfectants), particularly with aldehydes or derivates of halogens (e.g. glutaral, sodium hypochlorite, etc.). Do not dilute gigasept® PAA. Do not exceed the recommended contact time.
Use of gigasept® PAA test strips:
Dip test strip in the solution for 1 second. Shake off the excess liquid. Check the colour in the test zone after 10 seconds. gigasept® PAA test strips turns black or dark brown if the solution is effective. With no change of colour or only partly coloration of the strips the solution is no longer effective and need to be changed (Ignore colour changes after 15 seconds).
