Can I use ProSpray C-60 as a “cold sterile soak” for plastic items that cannot tolerate heat sterilization?
Items that are used inside the mouth or other mucosal surfaces such as film holders, bite blocks and laryngeal airway devices are considered semi-critical. According to CDC guidelines such items preferably should be heat sterilized or at a minimum disinfected using high-level disinfectant processes (gluteraldehyde, peracetic acid, ethylene oxide gas, etc.). ProSpray C-60 is an intermediate-level disinfectant.
