Test Effectiveness of High-Level Disinfectants and Sterilants
 MetriCide 28 and 
MetriCide Plus 30 must maintain the minimum effective concentration (MEC) level of 1.8% glutaraldehyde or greater during the 
28-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.
