Micro-Mec 1.8% Glutaraldehyde Monitor Test Strip is a glutaraldehyde concentration monitor for use with Micro-Cide 28 High-Level Disinfectant. Micro-Mec can also be used with other brands of glutaraldehyde solutions. Micro-Mec cannot be used to validate the sterilization or disinfection process.
Directions
- If applicable refer to the endoscope reprocessor’s user manual for instructions on how to take a sample of the disinfectant use solution.
- Dip the strip into the solution for 2 seconds and remove.
- Remove excess solution by standing test strip upright (on its short edge) on a paper towel. Do not shake or blot the test strip.
- Start timer.
- At exactly 120 seconds, compare the test strip color with the visual standards below.
- If the test strip color corresponds to 'PASS' according to the visual standards, i.e. uniform purple, then the glutaraldehyde level of the solution is above the MEC.
- The presence of any yellow on the pad (apart from the top 2 mm) indicates that the concentration of glutaraldehyde is below the MEC and the solution should be discarded.

- Monitors minimum effect concentrations of 1.8%.
- Ensures Micro-Cide 28 HLD is effective and safe for use.
