Peracetic acid is a highly biocidal oxidizer that maintains its efficacy in the presence of organic soil.

Peracetic acid removes surface contaminants (primarily protein) on endoscopic tubing.711, 717 An automated machine using peracetic acid to sterilize medical, surgical, and dental instruments chemically (e.g., endoscopes, arthroscopes) was introduced in 1988.

This microprocessor-controlled, low-temperature sterilization method is commonly . 

The container is punctured at the time of use, immediately prior to closing the lid and initiating the cycle.

The concentrated peracetic acid is diluted to 0.2% with filtered water (0.2 mm) at a temperature of approximately 50°C.

The diluted peracetic acid is circulated within the chamber of the machine and pumped through the channels of the endoscope for 12 minutes, decontaminating exterior surfaces, lumens, and accessories.

Interchangeable trays are available to permit the processing of up to three rigid endoscopes or one flexible endoscope.

Connectors are available for most types of flexible endoscopes for the irrigation of all channels by directed flow.

Rigid endoscopes are placed within a lidded container, and the sterilant fills the lumens either by immersion in the circulating sterilant or by use of channel connectors to direct flow into the lumen(s) (see below for the importance of channel connectors).

The peracetic acid is discarded via the sewer and the instrument rinsed four times with filtered water.
