Abstract
An apparatus and a method are described for a simple and reliable disinfection of catheters, cystoscopes, bronchoscopes, etc. by means of a gas mixture consisting of 10% ethylene oxide and 90% carbon dioxide. The air is evacuated by suction from a disinfection vessel containing the instruments and replaced by the ethylene oxide-carbon dioxide mixture, which must be allowed to act for 8 hours at 37°C. After disinfection, the instruments which have previously been packed in cellophane bags can be stored and transported sterile for a considerable period.
