MDT Plus 4 Cold Sterilant

MDT Plus 4 Cold Sterilant1. Key BenefitsMDT Plus 4 is a stabilized peracetic acid product that offers state-of-the-art cold sterilization and is widely used for reprocessing of dialyzers. The formulation provides rapid action against all microorganisms while enhancing removal of organic material and leaving no harmful residue. As a strong oxidant, the solution readily cleans all cellular debris, precipitates, and scale in machines when used routinely, combining high-level disinfection with equipment maintenance in a single application.2. IndicationsMDT Plus 4 Cold Sterilant is indicated for:High-level disinfection and sterilization of dialyzers during reprocessingCold sterilization of hemodialysis equipment and accessoriesDisinfection of dialysis machine fluid pathways between patient treatmentsDecontamination of heat-sensitive medical equipmentPrevention of biofilm formation in dialysis systemsComprehensive microbial control including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mycobacteria3. How it WorksActive Components: Contains Peracetic Acid 4% w/w, Hydrogen Peroxide 21% w/w, and Acetic Acid 10% w/w in a stabilized formulation (CH3COOOH). Peracetic acid is characterized by rapid action against all microorganisms through powerful oxidation that disrupts cellular structures and enzymatic processes.Cold Sterilization Process: Effective as a cold sterilant with extended contact time protocols, eliminating the need for heat activation while achieving comprehensive microbial kill. The solution penetrates biofilms and organic matter, ensuring thorough decontamination of complex equipment surfaces.Environmental Safety: Special advantages include lack of harmful decomposition products, breaking down into acetic acid, water, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide – all environmentally safe compounds.4. Quality and SafetyManufacturing Excellence: Manufactured by Meditop Co. Ltd., Thailand, under pharmaceutical-grade quality control standards ensuring consistent potency and stability.Antimicrobial Spectrum: Effective against non-tuberculous mycobacteria including HIV (associated with AIDS), hepatitis viruses, and other pathogenic microorganisms when used as directed. Provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity across bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.Safety Profile: Leaves no harmful residues after proper use and rinsing protocols. The oxidizing action breaks down organic contaminants while the decomposition products are environmentally benign.5.
