Two novel protocols for cleaning residual simethicone and fluid in patient‐ready duodenoscopes

Abstract: Background and Aim:Approximately 42-95% of working channels have been reported to show the presence of residual fluid despite endoscope reprocessing. The aim of this study was to design two novel protocols for cleaning residual simethicone and demonstrate its efficiency by evaluating the residual fluid and cleanliness in the working channels of patient-ready duodenoscopes. Methods: The designed protocol for cleaning residual simethicone was implemented in manual cleaning and/or high-level disinfection (HLD). T… Show more
