Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article shows the problems of water preparation issues and the importance of having water purification systems for rinsing endoscopes during the processing cycle. This fulfillment of conditions is very important in maintaining patient safety and maintaining the operability of endoscopes. Features of the composition of water in impurities, sediments and pollutants associated with a large number of subjects of the Russian Federation, their diversity of terrain and climate. Increased need for endoscopic services in gastrointestinal tract examination and treatment, increase in flexible endoscope fleets. Common technologies for mechanical water purification and their features are presented. The importance of the quality of washing off detergents and disinfectants is indicated. Necessary additions when using water treatment systems, as well as the conditions for their control, are noted.
