It is capable of inactivating a broad range of pathogens, including Tuberculosis, Hepatitis A (AER), Hepatitis B, HIV-1, and Polio Virus Type 1, within five minutes at 25°C. This rapid action ensures that medical equipment is disinfected efficiently and safely.

The disinfectant offers significant advantages over other OPA (Orthophthalaldehyde) brands, providing up to 40% more reprocessing cycles in an Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER). This feature reduces the frequency of solution replacement, improving cost-efficiency and workflow in medical facilities.

Metricide OPA Plus is compatible with a wide range of medical device materials, making it versatile and suitable for the disinfection of various medical instruments. Its use is not limited to manual reprocessing but is also optimized for automated systems, enhancing its usability in both manual and automated endoscope reprocessors (AER).

To ensure proper disinfection, test strips are available that offer 33% faster readings compared to other OPA test strips. This allows for quicker verification of the solution’s potency, ensuring that the disinfecting process meets required safety standards.
