Indications for Use

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is intended to be used for automated sterilization or high-level disinfection of clean, heat sensitive, critical and semisterifical medical devices that are not compatible with other sterilization or highlevel disinfection processes that can be biologically monitored. Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant should be used under the following contact conditions: Sterilization: 5 hours, 25°C, 1900 ppm Minimum Recommended Concentration of Peracetic Acid; High-Level Disinfection: 5 minutes, 25°C, 1900 ppm Minimum Recommended Concentration of Peracetic Acid. Acecide Peracetic Acid Test Strips are intended for verifying the minimum recommended concentration of peracetic acid in Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant during reuse.

Device Story

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is a two-part liquid germicide (peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide) used for automated reprocessing of heat-sensitive medical devices. The mechanism of action involves oxidation of sulfhydryl and sulfur bonds on microbial proteins and enzymes. The device is used in clinical settings to achieve sterilization (5 hours) or high-level disinfection (5 minutes) at 25°C. Acecide Peracetic Acid Test Strips are used to verify the minimum recommended concentration (1900 ppm) of peracetic acid during reuse. The system ensures effective microbial reduction (sporicidal, tuberculocidal, virucidal, fungicidal, bactericidal) while maintaining material compatibility with endoscopes and other devices. Clinical benefit includes safe, effective reprocessing of heat-sensitive instruments that cannot undergo standard thermal sterilization.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing included AOAC sporicidal, tuberculocidal, virucidal, fungicidal, and bactericidal assays. Simulated-use testing performed on endoscopes confirmed efficacy as a sterilant and high-level disinfectant. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, hemolysis, acute toxicity) confirmed patient safety. Material compatibility testing confirmed suitability for endoscopes over their estimated lifetime. Clinical testing of used endoscopes confirmed that chemical residues after rinsing were not significant.

Technological Characteristics

Two-part liquid chemical germicide; active ingredients: peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Packaging: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) bottles. Mechanism: Oxidative microbial inactivation. Includes chemical test strips for concentration verification (1900 ppm MRC).

Indications for Use

Indicated for automated sterilization or high-level disinfection of clean, heat-sensitive, critical, or semi-critical medical devices incompatible with other biologically monitorable sterilization/disinfection processes.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A liquid chemical sterilant/high level disinfectant is a germicide that is intended for use as the terminal step in processing critical and semicritical medical devices prior to patient use. Critical devices make contact with normally sterile tissue or body spaces during use. Semicritical devices make contact during use with mucous membranes or nonintact skin.

Best Sanitizers has supplied the following information to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to support substantial equivalency of the Acecide™ High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant to other sterilants currently in distribution in the United States.

#### Device Description 1.

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is a germicide that requires the combination of two parts, Solution 1 and Solution 2, within the Solution 2 bottle. The product is used full strength without dilution. It is packaged in two High Density Polyethylene bottles.

The active ingredients in Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant are peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. As discussed in Block's' article, the mechanism of microbial action is believed to be oxidizing sulthydryl and sulfur bonds on proteins and enzymes, particularly in the cell walls.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Acecide Peracetic Acid Test Strops are provided to verify that the minimum receide Fordection, 1900 ppm peracetic acid (PAA) of Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is present.

#### Intended Use 2.

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is intended to be used for automated sterilization or high-level disinfection of clean, heat sensitive, critical and semisterifical medical devices that are not compatible with other sterilization or highlevel disinfection processes that can be biologically monitored.

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant should be used under the following contact conditions:

| | Time | Temperature | Minimum<br>Recommended<br>Concentration of<br>Peracetic Acid |
|----------------------------|-----------|-------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| Sterilization | 5 hours | 25°C | 1900 ppm |
| High-Level<br>Disinfection | 5 minutes | 25°C | 1900 ppm |

Acecide Peracetic Acid Test Strips are intended for verifying the minimum recommended concentration of peracetic acid in Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant during reuse.

### Comparison to Another Device in Commercial Distribution Within the United 3. States

Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is comparable in its intended use to other liguid sterilants currently on the market in the United States. Acecide High-Level Disinfectant and Sterilant is similar in use and product claims to Minntech's Peract® 20 Liquid Sterilant/Disinfectant and Medivators Rapicide™ High Level Disinfectant and Sterilant.
