MetriCide must maintain the minimum effective concentration (MEC) level of 1.5% glutaraldehyde or greater during the 14-day use life to effectively sterilize and high-level disinfect. It is recommended to test the glutaraldehyde solution prior to each use to prevent healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs). Protect patients and healthcare organizations from painful, timely and costly consequences of HAIs by implementing precautionary protocols, including test strips, prior to reprocessing.
