XL Quad-Zyme

According to AAMI, ANSI, ASGE, FDA, AORN, SGNA and others, the guidelines for all reusable medical instruments are required to be properly cleaned and disinfected between each and every use. All foreign materials such as blood, protein, tissue residues, mucus, saliva, fats, etc. These bio-burdens must be removed from the instruments during the cleaning process. If these debris are not fully removed from the instruments it will allow these “leftovers” to harbor and grow micro-organisms. These leftovers will prevent penetration of disinfectants from reaching all of the surfaces of the instruments thus making the disinfection/sterilization process ineffective.

Physical agitation, wiping and brushing of the medical instrument surfaces is not enough the remove all of the debris. Yes, it will help to loosen and remove larger pieces which will help in the cleaning process. But this is only a physical action. What is needed is something stronger, a detergent and a surfactant.

Detergents and surfactants alone are not enough to remove all of these debris. Yes, they will help in the cleaning process by removing more of these debris. They will reach down to the microscopic level, but it will not be effective enough to breakdown and remove tough bio-burden. Some types of bio-burden are much more resistance to just detergents and surfactants alone. What is needed is something much more powerful. Something to breakdown these bio-burdens at a molecular level, enzymes. 

Enzymes are essential in breaking down these tough bio-burdens. This breakdown happens at a molecular level breaking the chemical bonds that hold these bio-burdens themselves together and the bonds that hold them to the surfaces of the medical instruments. But enzymes alone are not enough. What is needed is a combination of all of these products, strong detergents and surfactants and a powerful set of enzymes.

The proper combination of highly specialized detergents, surfactants and enzymes will produce the most effective cleaning product. This effective cleaning product will breakdown and removal of these bio-burdens making the disinfection sterilization process be effective. We would like to introduce you to the XL Quad-Zyme advanced multi-enzymatic detergent solution. 

Specifically designed for cleaning various types of reusable medical, dental and surgical instruments, endoscopes and for use in Automated Endoscope Reprocessor’s (AER’s) washer sterilizer units, ultrasonic cleaners, for manual cleaning and as a pre-soaking solution. XL Quad Zyme is a concentrated highly specialized premium multi-enzymatic low foam pH neutral detergent solution.

With its use will allow for a complete breakdown and elimination of biofilms: blood, proteins, lipids, starches, and cellulose residues. The removal of those bio-burdens is absolutely essential for a complete and thorough cleaning to happen. The removal of those materials is absolutely essential when using disinfectants for proper disinfection to be effective.

Having a Neutral pH non-corrosive based solution will not damage AER’s, valves, rubber components, stainless steel, rigid & flexible endoscopes or any other surgical instrument that can be cleaned in a water-based solution mixture.
