CIDEX™ OPA Test Strips – Bottle of 15 Strips | Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) Test Strips for CIDEX™ OPA Solution

CIDEX™ OPA Test Strips (Bottle of 15 Strips) are semi-quantitative chemical indicator strips designed to verify the Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) of CIDEX™ OPA Solution before each reuse during high-level disinfection. The strips ensure that the concentration of ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) remains at or above the required 0.3% MEC, helping healthcare professionals confirm that the disinfectant remains effective for reprocessing compatible heat-sensitive medical devices.

Ideal for hospitals, endoscopy units, Central Sterile Services Departments (CSSD), dental clinics, and surgical centers, these easy-to-use strips provide a rapid visual indication of disinfectant efficacy. Each bottle contains 15 single-use test strips for routine monitoring of CIDEX™ OPA Solution throughout its reuse life.
