Organic peroxy acid device sterilant, single-use

An organic peroxy acid device sterilant, single-use is a liquid or powder formulation that uses an organic peroxy acid, such as peracetic acid, as its active ingredient to sterilize medical devices. It is designed to destroy all microorganisms on items like surgical or dental instruments through immersion for a specified contact time, ensuring a high-level disinfection or sterilization outcome.

These devices are intended for one-time use only and must be discarded after application; they are not designed for reuse. Regulatory oversight focuses on their sterilant efficacy and safety as single-use chemical agents, with classification and supply requirements based on their intended use as sterile processing aids rather than the medical devices they treat.
