Thermoshield P Laboratory Neutraliser – 5L

The Dr. Schumacher Thermoshield P Laboratory Neutraliser – 5L is a phosphoric acid-based liquid concentrate designed for use as a neutralising agent in the automated reprocessing of surgical instruments, medical devices, and laboratory glassware in washer-disinfectors. Tailored for professional applications in hospitals, dental practices, laboratories, and pharmaceutical industries, this neutraliser effectively prevents inorganic deposits, such as lime residues, and removes acid-soluble soilings and discolorations, making it ideal for hard water environments. Certified to ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 13485 standards, Thermoshield P ensures efficient neutralisation after alkaline cleaning, protecting instruments and machines while maintaining hygiene. Its concentrated formula and compatibility with Miele washer-disinfectors make it a cost-effective and reliable choice for high-throughput reprocessing.

Key Features

• Efficient Neutralisation: Phosphoric acid-based formula neutralises residual alkalinity from cleaners like Thermoshield Basix or Thermoshield Xtreme, preventing alkali carryover and ensuring safe reprocessing of medical instruments and glassware.

• Prevents Inorganic Deposits: Keeps instruments and washer-disinfectors free of lime residues and other inorganic deposits, particularly in hard water conditions, enhancing equipment longevity and hygiene.

• Removes Acid-Soluble Soilings: Effectively eliminates inorganic, acid-soluble contaminants and discolorations, making it suitable for basic cleaning and maintaining instrument integrity.

• Material Compatibility: Safe for a wide range of materials, including stainless steel; requires demineralised water for aluminium and anodized aluminium to prevent corrosion, ensuring protection of sensitive instruments.

• High-Temperature Stability: Suitable for chemo-thermal reprocessing at temperatures up to 93°C, supporting stringent disinfection protocols in automated systems.

• Concentrated Efficiency: Low use concentration (0.1–0.5% v/v, typically 1–5 ml/L) delivers cost-effective neutralisation, with a 5L canister yielding up to 5000 liters of working solution.

• Hygienic Performance: Prevents residue buildup in wash chambers, ensuring a clean and sterile reprocessing environment, critical for infection control standards.

• Eco-Conscious Design: Biodegradable formula reduces environmental impact, aligning with sustainable practices in medical and laboratory settings.

• Certified Compliance: Meets ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 13485 standards, guaranteeing reliability and safety for medical and laboratory applications.

• User-Friendly Handling: Supplied in a 5L flat canister with optional dosing aids for precise and safe integration into automated washer-disinfector systems.
