High Level Disinfection of Flexible Endoscopes

Flexible Endoscopes are processed in the EDU's adjacent to treatment areas in the Gastroenterology Dept and the Cystoscopy Unit.

They are manually washed and leak tested, then high level disinfected in an Automatic Endoscope Washer(AER), and then placed in a drying and storage cabinet until required. The drying and storage cabinet will help maintain the clean state of a correctly processed endoscope for a maximum of 72 hours.
