Paracetic acid

Equipment used in medical practice for disease diagnosis, which come into contact with the body, must be sterilized. Nonsterilizations can cause transmission of infection from one person to other. Commonly, 2% glutaraldehyde solution is used. Instruments must be kept in the solution for at least 3 hours, but high-level disinfection is achieved in 20 to 30 minutes for most. Glutaraldehyde is an irritant and may cause sensitization. Alternatively, paracetic acid, chlorine dioxide, and superoxidized water are used for this purpose. [Pg.310]
