Serim GUARDIAN Residual Peroxide Strips (100’s)

Serim GUARDIAN™ Residual Peroxide Test Strips1. Key BenefitsSerim® GUARDIAN™ Residual Peroxide Test Strips give a semi-quantitative indication that the peracetic acid/peroxide disinfectant concentration has been reduced to safe levels after rinsing the dialyzer, dialysis machine or water distribution system. These strips provide a rapid and convenient means for measuring the concentration of peroxide remaining in dialysate lines and dialyzers after disinfection. A qualitative estimate of the peroxide concentration at or above 1-ppm is indicated by the appearance of a green or blue colour on the indicator pad.2. IndicationsSerim GUARDIAN™ Residual Peroxide Test Strips are indicated for:Post-disinfection verification in hemodialysis centersTesting dialysate lines and dialyzers after disinfection with peracetic acid/peroxide-based disinfectants such as Renalin®, Actril®, Minncare®, Puristeril®340, Peracidin®, PerAldecide™ and Micro-X®Ensuring safe residual levels before patient treatmentQuality assurance in dialyzer reprocessing programsCompliance with dialysis facility safety protocolsWater distribution system rinsing verification3. How it WorksThe test strips utilize colorimetric technology to provide semi-quantitative measurement of residual peroxide concentrations. When exposed to peroxide-containing solutions, the reagent pad on the strip undergoes a color change reaction. A qualitative estimate of the peroxide concentration at or above 1-ppm is indicated by the appearance of a green or blue colour on the indicator pad. Results of 3 ppm and above indicate that further rinsing is required, providing clear guidance for safety protocols.4. Quality and SafetyManufacturing Excellence: For over three decades Serim Research Corporation develops, manufactures, and markets test strips for measuring the presence of disinfectants and the water quality in thousands of medical facilities worldwide. Since 1988, Serim has been instrumental in pioneering the development of test strips for measuring the presence of disinfectants and water quality in thousands of dialysis centers worldwide.FDA Clearance: These FDA-cleared test strips are specifically designed for use in dialysis, ensuring the potency of disinfectants, and monitoring the quality of water, dialysate, and peritoneal dialysis.Safety Standards: The Guardian Residual Peroxide Test Strips help maintain high safety and efficacy standards in dialysis by providing reliable verification of proper disinfectant removal before patient treatment.5. Important ConsiderationsCritical Safety Function:Verification that disinfectants have been adequately rinsed from equipmentPrevention of patient exposure to harmful residual chemicalsEssential component of infection control protocolsRequired testing before equipment can be safely used for patient treatmentTesting Protocol:Test immediately after rinsing proceduresResults interpretation based on color developmentDocument results per facility quality assurance requirementsRepeat rinsing if residual levels exceed safe thresholds (3 ppm or above)Product Specifications:Semi-quantitative colorimetric measurementDetection threshold at 1 ppm peroxide concentrationRapid results for immediate decision-makingEasy-to-interpret color change indicatorsSingle-use disposable designStorage Requirements:Store in cool, dry environment away from direct sunlightKeep container tightly sealed when not in useProtect from moisture and temperature extremesRegular rotation of stock based on expiration datesComplementary Testing:Use in conjunction with GUARDIAN™ Peracetic Acid Test Strips for complete disinfection monitoringPart of comprehensive dialysis safety testing protocolIntegration with water quality and dialysate testing programsProfessional Considerations:Essential for dialyzer reuse programsCritical for patient safety in all hemodialysis applicationsRequires trained personnel for proper interpretationDocumentation required for regulatory complianceShould be part of standard operating proceduresLimitations:Semi-quantitative results onlyColor interpretation may vary between operatorsEnvironmental factors can affect resultsNot suitable for precise analytical measurementsProfessional Note: Serim GUARDIAN™ Residual Peroxide Test Strips represent an essential safety tool for hemodialysis facilities. These strips provide the critical verification needed to ensure patient safety by confirming that potentially harmful disinfectant residuals have been adequately removed before equipment use.ReferencesGUARDIAN™ RESIDUAL PEROXIDE TEST STRIPS – Product Profile, Serim Research Corporation, 2019SERIM TEST KITS FOR HEMODIALYSIS – Dial Med Supply Technical DocumentationGuardian Residual Peroxide Test Strips: FDA-Cleared for Dialysis Water – MedicalRite Product InformationGUARDIAN™ Residual Peroxide – Thaison Laboratory Documentation, October 2024Serim Products Portfolio – Nipro Canada Technical SpecificationsGUARDIAN™ Dialysis Test Strips – Serim Research Corporation Company OverviewAccessGUDID Device Database – FDA Unique Device Identification Registry
