Endoscope Cleaning and Disinfection

Endoscope cleaning and disinfection is a crucial procedure to ensure that flexible tubes used in medical examinations are safe for patients. After an endoscope is used, it must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any organic material, like blood or tissue. This is followed by disinfection, which uses chemicals or heat to kill any harmful germs or bacteria. Proper cleaning and disinfection prevent the spread of infections between patients, making it an essential part of medical hygiene practices to maintain patient safety and health.
