Description
Join the hunt to bring down instrument reprocessing costs.
Nothing is better for expensive endoscopes and other medical devices than CIDEX OPA Solution (0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde), the non-glutaraldehyde solution for disinfection of flexible endoscopes and other medical devices. In fact, CIDEX OPA Solution is one of the gentlest reprocessing options available, which means it can substantially reduce instrument damage and repair costs.
What's more, CIDEX OPA Solution has been shown to be a better investment than glutaraldehyde or peracetic acid1,2 not only because of its speed and efficiency but also because of its environmental safety.
Combined, these factors explain why CIDEX OPA Solution makes both clinical and economic sense for facilities seeking a more cost-efficient option for instrument reprocessing.
Increase speed and efficiency
- Rapid 5-minute immersion time at a minimum of 25ºC in an automatic endoscope reprocessor*
- Efficient 12-minute soak time at room temperature (20ºC) for manual reprocessing
- Schedule more procedures with quick scope turnaround
- Improve staff productivity
- Effective against glutaraldehyde-resistant mycobacteria3
Improve flexibility
- Reprocesses more devices per gallon than glutaraldehyde
- No activation or mixing required
- For use in both automated and manual reprocessing
- 2-year shelf life and 75-day open-bottle shelf life
Time and cost savings
- By switching from glutaraldehyde to CIDEX OPA solution, a large New England hospital significantly reduced costs while improving safety. CIDEX OPA Solution data based on a 12-minute disinfection cycle.
| CIDEX OPA Solution | Glutaraldehyde | Savings | |
| Total disinfection cycle time | 80 hours | 133 hours | 53 hours |
| Staff salaries | $908 | $1510 | $602 |
| Number of cycles per fill | 80 cycles | 40 cycles | +40 cycles |
| Delayed procedure costs | $0 | $8200 | $8200 |
NOTE: Time and cost savings are for a 2-week time period, all costs estimated.
†Current disinfection cycle times for CIDEX OPA Solution is 5-minutes at a minimum of 25°C in an AER - 2.4 times faster.
A large eastern hospital cut over $123,000/year in instrument repair costs - a 77% cost reduction - by switching from peracetic acid to CIDEX OPA Solution4.
Enhanced safety
- Glutaraldehyde-free
- Virtually odorless due to low vapor pressure‡
- No special vents or air monitors required
‡Most studies conducted have concluded that the vapor pressure of CIDEX OPA Solution is undetectable at room temperature.
Reduced instrument damage and repair
- Offers material compatibility
- Noncorrosive
- Gentler on flexible scopes than peracetic acid
