Several issues concerning endoscope reprocessing remain unresolved based on
currently available data. Thus, further studies are required to confirm standard
practices including safe endoscope shelf life, proper frequency of replacement of
some accessories including water bottles and connecting tubes, and
microbiological surveillance testing of endoscopes after reprocessing. The
efficacy and cost-effectiveness of newer technology that allows automated
cleaning and disinfection is one such controversial issue. In addition, there are
no guidelines on whether delayed reprocessing and extended soaking may harm
endoscope integrity or increase the bioburden on the external or internal device
surfaces. In this review, we discuss the unresolved and controversial issues
regarding endoscope reprocessing.
