Performance Bright + is a powerful acidic detergent cleaner designed for manual, ultrasonic and automated cleaning of medical devices and instruments manufactured from Stainless Steel. Performance Bright + can be used for the removal of annealing colours, water spots, transferred/initial rust and encrustations. It is based on acids and surfactants and removes inorganic contamination and coatings like: annealing colours (silicate coating shining in various colours), spots from water with high salt content, transferred/initial rust resulting from contact corrosion e.g. contact with brass parts, plaster residues on plaster scissors, and encrusted brownish organic residues.
Performance Bright + finds particular use in overcoming process inadequacies that may arise from poor water quality, insufficient cleaning, usage of unsuitable cleaning products and disinfectants, processing errors, or poor vapour quality in the steriliser.
Where surface changes, such as described above appear on instrument surfaces, the whole process must be checked. The instruments concerned should be treated with Performance Bright +, either in an ultrasonic bath or in a soaking bath. Brand new instruments should go through an initial reprocessing cycle before they are used for the first time. Despite this pre-treatment, instruments made from minor steel qualities may show an irreversible greyish-black colouring after the first sterilisation. By treating such instruments with Performance Bright + prior to the first reprocessing cycle, this discolouring can be prevented.
Performance Bright + can also be used for removing silicate coatings during processing of parts in washing machines. Performance Bright + is registered as a Class I medical device.
Features
Application
Performance Bright + is supplied as a concentrated product that requires dilution prior to use.
The dilution is dependent on the application (5 – 200ml/L):
For Ultrasonic Cleaning of Instruments and Equipment:
Performance Bright +, diluted as above, is used at 60°C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
For Soak Cleaning of Instruments and Equipment:
Performance Bright +, diluted as above, is used at 60°C for a minimum of 10 minutes.
For Cleaning of Washing Machines and Equipment:
The use is dependent on the resistance of the deposits/coatings present. Apply Performance Bright +, diluted at 0.5 – 1% as the processing fluid. The treatment should be repeated several times at 60°C until surfaces are clean.
