Abstract
The results of our study support to improve the final reprocessing of bronchoscope channels by means of additional manual flushing with 70% ethyl alcohol after each disinfection cycle. Routine microbiologic monitoring of endoscopes is both time-consuming and expensive but could be saved by implementing a highly efficient decontaminating procedure.
