NOSOCID PAA is a high level disinfectant especially formulated for the cold sterilization of thermosensitive instruments and endoscopes. It is based on a synergy of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
It combines a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, rapid contact times and an enhanced material compatibility.
It is recommended for all types of endoscopes (bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, duodenoscopes, naso-laryngo-pharyngoscopes, laparoscopes, etc.), surgical instruments, anesthetic and heat- sensitive medical devices.
NOSOCID PAA does not fix proteins, eliminates biofilm and is effective even in the presence of organic materials.
Formulated with very effective corrosion inhibitors, it is safe for most common endoscope materials.
