摘要: Abstract One hundred endoscopes used for bronchoscopy (30), gastroscopy (35) or colonoscopy were studied to determine the efficiency of a new high level disinfectant, orthophthalaldehyde (OPA). Manual cleaning was method since this would be least effective and thereby provide greatest challenge 0·5% (wv) OPA solution. The convenient easy use it did not have irritating vapours as is directly, does require dilution. Our study demonstrated that stable up 14 days despite repeated re-use. cleaning/ disinfection procedure could achieve ⩾5 LOG 10 reduction in bacterial load. This in-hospital evaluation supports conclusion an choice disinfectant flexible endoscopes.
