The Endoscope Washer Disinfector
The EWD disinfects medical devices using water and chemicals. Afterwards, the FEs are dried and stored until transportation. Multiple devices can be reprocessed at the same time, but the duration of the reprocessing depends on the brand and type of EWD. In this study the WD440PT(Wassenburg Medical Nederland, Dodewaard, The Netherlands) with accompanying chemicals(EndoHigh PAA & Detergent) was used.
