Medical Surface Disinfectant Decontaminant Cleaner 1 Gal Capacity Glutaraldehyde is a saturated dialdehyde widely used as a potent
sterilant and high-level disinfectant. Its broad spectrum, covering
bactericidal, sporicidal, fungicidal and virucidal activity, makes
it an ideal chemical for the low-temperature disinfection and
sterilisation of critical and semi-critical equipment such as
endoscopes, dialysers and surgical tools. “Glutaraldehyde exposure should be monitored to ensure a safe
working environment.”
Aqueous solutions of glutaraldehyde when activated (rendered
alkaline at 7.5- 8.5pH) become sporicidal, while its microbicidal
action is attributed primarily to its strong association with the
outer layers of bacterial cells and the alkylation of sulphydryl,
hydroxyl, carboxyl and amino groups, which alter RNA, DNA and
protein synthesis within microorganisms. Glutaraldehyde is also mycobactericidal, and glutaraldehyde
formulations with phenols (Sporicidin from Sporicidin
International) and alcohols (Aldahol III from Healthpoint) have
better usage life, while maintaining excellent microbicidal
activity. Glutaraldehyde exposure should be monitored to ensure a
safe working environment. Acute or chronic exposure, resulting in
skin irritation, mucous membrane irritation and multiple pulmonary
symptoms such as occupational asthma and allergic rhinitis have
been reported in healthcare workers. Due to its exposure hazards, US healthcare associations advocate
the use of glutaraldehyde alternatives such as o-phthalaldehyde,
hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid. | Application / Usage | Multi Surface, Multipurpose | | Assembly Required | No | | Cleaner Type | Liquid | | Cleaner Volume | 32 fl oz (1 quart) | | Color | Clear | | Composition | Hydrogen peroxide | | Environmental Certification | EPA | | Environmentally Friendly | Yes | | Features | Disinfectant, Non-corrosive, Virucidal, Anti-bacterial | | Product Type | Surface Cleaner | | Recommended Use | Odor Remover, Virus Remover, Bacteria Remover, Soil Remover, Grime
