PA High-Level Disinfectant or INTERCEPT
®
Detergent.
Indications for Use of the ADVANTAGE PLUS System:
MEDIVATORS ADVANTAGE PLUS Endoscope Reprocessing System tests, cleans, disinfects and rinses
endoscopes, such as beroptic and video endoscopes between patient uses. The ADVANTAGE PLUS
system is indicated to provide high level disinfection of heat sensitive semi-critical endoscopes and related
accessories. Manual cleaning of endoscopes is not required prior to placement in the ADVANTAGE PLUS
system. The endoscopes must be pre-cleaned immediately after use.
The ADVANTAGE PLUS Endoscope Reprocessing System uses RAPICIDE PA High Level Disinfectant
to provide high level disinfection of endoscopes when used according to the directions for use. The system
uses INTERCEPT Detergent in its cleaning cycle at a concentration of 0.5%.
RAPICIDE PA Test Strips are used after the disinfection cycle to ensure that the used disinfectant is at or
above the minimum recommended concentration (MRC) of 850 ppm peracetic acid; this ensures that the
disinfectant was above MRC during the entire disinfection cycle. RAPICIDE PA should be used in the
ADVANTAGE PLUS System under the following contact conditions*:
Contact Time: 5 minutes
Temperature: 30°C
MRC: 850 ppm
Use-conditions may vary by country. Please contact your MEDIVATORS representative for information.
Caution: When using the cleaning cycle, endoscopes must be precleaned according to SGNA and facility
guidelines. Manual cleaning of the endoscopes is not required. It is recommended that reprocessing
using the cleaning cycle be performed within one hour after the procedure. If the cleaning cycle is not
chosen, endoscopes must be manually cleaned before placing in the Reprocessor for disinfection.
