Frequently Asked Questions - Renaclean Cold Sterilant
Ans. Renaclean Cold Sterilant is the stabilized mixture of peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid. It does all three - cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, so no need to handle many chemical cans to do the reprocessing of dialyser and blood tubing set.
Ans. The price of Renaclean Cold Sterilant is almost the same as cumulative cost of conventionally used chemicals. No need to handle multiple venders for formalin, sodium hypochlorite & hydrogen peroxide which do not give assured results due to adulteration. Increase in the reuse of dialysers and blood tubing set will reduce the consumption of the same.
Ans. No throat, eye, nose irritation. No foul smell. No stuffy dialyzer cleaning rooms! Renaclean Cold Sterilant is non-carcinogenic and thereby does not affect technicians’/staff’s health. Very easy to use.
Ans. Renaclean Cold Sterilant is potent and highly concentrated Sterilant and has to be diluted before with RO water (AAMI quality water) to makes working solution for sterilizing Haemodialysis Machine & accessories. Add 40ml Renaclean Cold Sterilant to 960ml RO water to make 1 liter working solution. While making larger volumes same ratio has to be maintained. Dilution - Manual reuse = 4% i.e. 400ml to make 10 Liters Diluted Disinfectant has to be used within 7 days from the date of dilution.
Ans. Renaclean Cold Sterilant is free from chloride and aldehyde and hence does not give severe reaction to patients at the time of initiation of Dialysis with reused Dialyzers/Bloodlines. After prolonged use of formalin, anti-nuclear antibodies are developed in the patient which affects their transplant status. This does not occur with Renaclean Cold Sterilant.
Ans. Yes, it can remove and prevent organic deposits like bio-film and calcium carbonate scales (precipitates) very effectively which generally produces in the hydraulics of dialysis machines after bicarbonate dialysis. Just by using once daily, Renaclean Cold Sterilant reduces the frequency of machine breakdown and improves the haemodialysis machine shelf life. 10 minutes dwelling time is required for the best cleaning action. Being a Cold Sterilant, it is never used with hot rinse. Generally it is used in chemical disinfection/acid rinse mode of the dialysis machine. Dilution ratio and usage instructions should be followed by machine manual.
Ans. Renaclean Cold Sterilant can be stored at room temperature and does not require refrigeration. Store in vertical position. Cap firmly after every use. DO NOT TAMPER WITH AIR VENT. Do not expose to direct sunlight or source of heat.
Ans. All personnel handling Renaclean Cold Sterilant should wear safety goggles and rubber gloves. In case of accidental spill on any part of the body, wash with plenty of water and seek medical help. Wash empty container thoroughly with water and crush or puncture before scrapping it.
