For this study, Stefan used the Impelux™ technology. Disinfecting flexible endoscopes (FEs) is often expensive, time-consuming and is becoming increasingly complex due to increasing hygiene requirements. After favorable results in the disinfection of rigid endoscopes using Impelux™ UV-C light technology, they tested the same method for the reprocessing of channel-less flexible endoscopes.

The conclusion of the study: Impelux™ UV-C light technology efficiently reduces bacterial contamination of FEs and can be useful in daily practice.
