Actosed® Forte Ready is ready for use. It is not reconstituted! Before using Actosed® Forte Ready, clean the instrument surfaces and channels with a suitable enzymatic cleaner. At this stage, we recommend that Actoclean® Perfect be used. After cleaning, rinse and dry the instruments. Pour Actosed® Forte Ready solution into the instrument bath. Make sure that all instruments and ducts come into contact with the solution during application. Refer to the microbiological activity table for recommended contact times. Keep the lid of the disinfectant bath closed during use.
The Actosed® Forte Ready solution is stable for up to 15 days. The minimum effective concentration (MEC) of the product used should be checked with the test strips. If turbidity occurs in the appearance of the solution and if the contamination increases, it should be replaced before 15 days.
For use with the endoscope washing machine, always follow the device manufacturer’s instructions. For disposal, follow the procedures indicated on the label completely.
Rinsing process; after the recommended contact time, rinse the medical instrument with water of at least drinking water quality and dry. During the rinse, use enough water to completely cover the instrument and leave the instrument in the water for at least 1 minute. Repeat this process 2 (two) more times. Make sure that a new water supply is provided for each rinse. Do not reuse water for rinsing or other purposes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for additional rinsing instructions.
