STEROS ACTIVE Spray Kit ICM for cold sterilization

Steros Active Spray Kit ICM for medical devices and surfaces

Steros Active Spray is a powder-based cold sterilizer and free radical generator intended for use by healthcare professionals. The prepared solution is applied to invasive and non-invasive medical devices and to the surfaces of medical equipment, such as operating tables, dental units, instrument trays, and healthcare apparatuses. The stated contact time is 15 seconds.

Characteristics and activity

• Stated activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, viruses, mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi, and spores.
• The solution does not stain or leave streaks; the basic pH and the reducing activity of the radicals help to prevent oxidation.
• The single-dose powder dissolves in tap water at room temperature. The ready-to-use solution turns a pale yellow color.
• The solution does not emit hazardous vapors into the work environment. Accidental contact of the solution with the skin does not cause irritation; however, the powder may irritate damp or wet skin.

Composition and active ingredient

Buffered peroxide sulfates and sodium bromide with alkaline substances. Reducing radicals are generated by a specific matrix in an aqueous vehicle at a basic pH: electron transfer irreversibly damages the structure of microorganisms. The cold sterilization method using free radicals is patented.

Preparation of the solution

1. Fill the 500 ml bottle B with tap water.
2. Pour the contents of a 2.25 g vial A into bottle B (dosage: 0.45%).
3. Close with the spray trigger and shake well to dissolve the powder.
4. Wait 10 minutes: the solution becomes clear and pale yellow. It may appear cloudy if using water with a hardness greater than 20 °fH.

The solution is ready to use and is valid for 7 days from preparation. Before use, record the powder batch number and the solution's expiration date on bottle B.

Directions for use and traceability

Spray medical devices or their surfaces liberally. Avoid application on surfaces with residues of other disinfectants, surfactant detergents, or acidic substances. Wait 15 seconds and dry. To track the sterilization process, the bottle label can be removed and applied to the appropriate logbook.

Packaging and storage

• 10 single-dose vials A containing 2.25 g of powder; each prepares 500 ml of active solution.
• 1 500 ml bottle B with spray trigger.
• Shelf life of the powder: 24 months. Store between 5 °C and 40 °C.
