Efficacy of electrolyzed acid water in reprocessing patient‐used flexible upper endoscopes: Comparison with 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde

Background and Aim:  Two percent glutaraldehyde, the most widely used liquid chemical germicide (LCG), may be hazardous to patients and medical personnel. Alternatives to glutaraldehyde, such as electrolyzed acid water (EAW), are being developed, but data from well‐controlled studies with patient‐used endoscopes are rare. The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate the high‐level disinfection capability of EAW and compare it with glutaraldehyde.
