title: Disinfectant effect of Persteril in combination with detergents.
abstract: In laboratory conditions, the microbicidal effect, pH and changes in the content of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide were tested in Persteril at concentrations of 5 ml/l and 0.5 ml/l as well as in mixtures of these Persteril solutions with the detergents Jar, Pur, Hit, Corona, Sapon, Rekord and Universal. The efficiency and stability of Persteril solution in combination with the detergents were similar to those of Persteril aqueous solution. The tested mixtures ensured satisfactory bactericidal effect after 19-day storage. The sporicidal effect could be guaranteed during 5 days only at a concentration of 5 ml/l and provided disinfection was carried out by submerging. The above mixtures of Persteril and detergents have been recommended for one-stage disinfection in all types of medical facilities requiring simultaneous disinfection and washing.
