Storage Solution

Store all sterilant and disinfectant products according to the manufacturers' instructions, as indicated in the product labeling.
Many sterilants and disinfectants must be stored below 30° C (86° F). Storage above this temperature for more than a short time could jeopardize their stability and activity.
This includes most liquid chemical sterilants and high level disinfectants (used to reprocess reusable critical or semi-critical medical devices between patient uses) and general purpose disinfectants (used to disinfect non-critical medical devices and medical equipment surfaces).
Before each use of a liquid chemical sterilant/high level disinfectant solution, use a test strip or chemical monitoring device to ensure that the concentration of active ingredient(s) in the solution is adequate. Always use the specific test strip or chemical monitoring device recommended by the manufacturer or an equivalent strip or device. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for using the test strip or monitoring device.
Discard any solutions that do not have an adequate concentration of active ingredient(s).
Skin substitutes and burn treatment products have specific requirements for storage times and temperatures. Do not use any skin substitutes or burn treatment products if they have been stored at inappropriate temperatures.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions in the product labeling for specific refrigeration requirements.
Organ Preservation/Storage Solutions
Organ preservation and storage solutions require refrigeration prior to use and during organ transport and storage.
These solutions are used to hold organs after they are harvested from the donor and while they are transported to the implant hospital.
Always follow specific manufacturer’s instructions in the product labeling to identify safe storage temperatures for organ preservation and storage solutions. If temperatures have risen above safe levels, you should discard the solutions.
