Through rapid ATP tests, it was found that additional automatic cleaning of endoscopes after manual handling reduces the number of cases of inadequate final cleaning of the surface of the endoscope and its channels by 4.0–4.5 times as compared to using manual treatment alone. Performing of an automatic final cleaning of endoscopes enables to increase the degree of epidemiological safety of non-sterile endoscopic interventions.
