{"title":"MetriCide","description":"\u003ch1\u003eMetriCide High-Level Disinfectants\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetriCide by Metrex is a line of high-level disinfectants and sterilants used to reprocess heat-sensitive, semi-critical instruments — endoscopes, probes, and other reusable devices that can't go through an autoclave. If you're managing an instrument reprocessing station, the questions that matter are practical: which chemistry, how long the solution stays effective, and how you confirm it's still working. This collection covers all three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGlutaraldehyde vs. OPA — which chemistry fits your protocol\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetriCide's glutaraldehyde formulas are the workhorses of manual cold sterilization. The original \u003cstrong\u003eMetriCide (10-1400)\u003c\/strong\u003e requires activation and gives you up to 14 days of reuse, while \u003cstrong\u003eMetriCide 28 (10-2805, 10-2800)\u003c\/strong\u003e extends reuse to 28 days and comes in both 32 oz. and 1-gallon sizes. \u003cstrong\u003eMetriCide Plus 30 (10-3200)\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a 28-day reuse window with a faster contact profile. All share a fruity scent that's noticeably easier on staff than raw glutaraldehyde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your facility is moving away from glutaraldehyde, \u003cstrong\u003eMetriCide OPA (10-6000)\u003c\/strong\u003e uses ortho-phthalaldehyde — no activation step, a broader material compatibility, and up to 30 days of reuse for manual soaking. Many sites choose OPA specifically to reduce fumes and simplify the workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDon't skip concentration testing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reusable disinfectant is only effective until its minimum recommended concentration drops below the effective level — and that can happen before the reuse-day limit is reached. \u003cstrong\u003eMetriCide OPA Plus Pad test strips (10-602)\u003c\/strong\u003e, 100 single-use tests per bottle, let you verify the solution is still at working strength before each cycle. Testing at each use is what keeps your reprocessing defensible during inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the formula to your instrument manufacturer's IFU, confirm your soak trays and ventilation are appropriate, and keep test strips stocked alongside the disinfectant.
