Abstract

Although few reports have described methods for cleaning endoscopes that can be used during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many reports have been published on personal protection and caution during endoscopic procedures. Here, we introduce a safer underwater cleansing and brushing technique that can minimize the spread of aerosols when cleaning endoscopes that have been used for patients with COVID-19. The endoscope is brushed while submerged in an enzymatic detergent solution. This appears to be a safe and useful way to prevent infection during COVID-19.
