NOSOCID PAA

High level disinfectant based on peracetic acid

NOSOCID PAA is a high level disinfectant especially formulated for the cold sterilisation of endoscopes and thermosensitive instruments. It is based on a synergy of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.

It combines a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, rapid contact times and an enhanced material compatibility..

It is recommended for the cold sterilisation of all types of endoscopes (bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, duodenoscopes, naso-laryngo-pharyngoscopes, laparoscopes, etc.), surgical instruments, anesthetic and heat-sensitive medical devices..

NOSOCID PAA does not fix proteins, eliminates biofilm and maintains antimicrobial performance even in the presence of organic matter, contributing to reliable high-level disinfection..

Formulated with effective corrosion inhibitors, NOSOCID PAA is designed to help protect common endoscope materials and support repeated use in reprocessing workflows.
