Quick and reliable Indigo® high-range 0-3000 ppm peracetic acid (PAA) test strips confirm effective concentrations for high-level medical device disinfection, ensuring patient safety and regulatory compliance.

High-level disinfection of medical devices depends on precisely maintaining strong peracetic acid solutions, often in the 1500–3000 ppm range. Indigo® 0–3000 ppm test strips are designed to verify that the concentration of peracetic acid remains sufficiently high to achieve the required sporicidal and bactericidal efficacy. Unlike low-range strips used for rinse verification, these strips ensure that the disinfectant solution itself meets validated disinfection thresholds. This simple, rapid check reduces the risk of under-concentration and provides peace of mind for sterile processing and infection control teams.

Hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and reprocessing facilities can use these peracetic acid test strips to support high-level disinfection protocols for endoscopes, surgical instruments, and other reusable devices. Confirming ≥1500 ppm peracetic acid in active solutions not only safeguards against microbial survival but also helps document adherence to infection prevention guidelines. Reliable strip-based testing allows healthcare workers to quickly validate disinfectant strength without the need for complex instrumentation.

Best Practices for 3000ppm Peracetic Acid Test Strips for Medical Devices

  • Follow manufacturer IFUs for the peracetic acid sterilant and the test strips to ensure accurate results.
  • Verify working concentration (e.g., 1500–3000 ppm) at the start of each disinfection cycle; discard solutions below validated levels.
  • Use strips immediately after dipping; match color blocks within the specified time frame for reliable readings.
  • Document test results in reprocessing logs to maintain traceability and meet infection-control audit requirements.
  • Align with regulatory standards such as AAMI ST58, CDC guidelines, and FDA/EPA labeling when verifying PAA concentrations.
  • Incorporate QA checks: confirm strip accuracy with periodic controls and ensure storage in a cool, dry environment.
  • Train staff regularly on correct strip use and interpretation to reduce variability and compliance risks.
  • Handle PAA safely — use gloves, goggles, and adequate ventilation in line with OSHA requirements.
