Peracetic Acid Systems
Captions available
The idea
Automated peracetic acid systems are a low-temperature liquid process used mainly for immersible items such as endoscopes.
In practice
A sterilant is diluted, circulated and pumped through the device's channels, then rinsed off; items are used straight away, with no sterile storage.
Where people slip
The sterilant must reach every channel, so the correct connector for each device is essential.
