A summary of the simulated-use testing to assess the reduction in E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa and C. albicans after ECR cleaning. All results represent the average and standard deviation for three replicate experiments. S1 and S2 represent samples from 1 cm2 surface sites on the insertion tube and control head, respectively. L1, L2, L4 represent samples taken from the suction-biopsy, air-water and elevator guidewire channels, respectively. [Note; there were no Auxiliary water channels (L3) on the endoscopes used for simulated-use testing.]
