Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is Glutihyde suitable as an endoscope disinfectant for rigid and flexible endoscopes?

Yes. Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant (2% or 2.45%) is suitable for the disinfection and sterilisation of both rigid and flexible endoscopes. It is also compatible with instruments made from metal, porcelain, glass, rubber, and various plastics, making it a reliable solution for endoscope reprocessing in healthcare facilities.

2) Can Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant be used in Automated Endoscope Reprocessors (AER)?

Yes. Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant in 2% and 2.45% formulations is designed for use in both manual soaking methods and many Automated Endoscope Reprocessors (AER). Its non-corrosive formulation helps protect the delicate internal channels and optical components of flexible endoscopes during the disinfection cycle.

3) What are the antimicrobial properties of Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant?

Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant provides a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. It is bactericidal, fungicidal, sporicidal, tuberculocidal, and virucidal, including effectiveness against viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBV). This wide antimicrobial coverage makes it suitable for high-level disinfection of critical medical instruments.

4) How does this endoscope disinfectant ensure material compatibility with flexible scopes?

Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant is specifically designed to be compatible with sensitive medical instruments. Unlike some oxidative disinfectants that may cause pitting or corrosion, Glutihyde has been tested for compatibility with stainless steel, aluminium, rubber, plastics, and other delicate materials used in modern endoscopes. This ensures the protection of lens systems, adhesives, and internal channels during repeated disinfection cycles.

5) What is the shelf life of Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant after activation?

Once the liquid activator has been added, the Glutihyde endoscope disinfectant solution generally remains effective for 14–28 days, depending on the organic load and frequency of use. It is recommended to regularly monitor the solution using glutaraldehyde test strips and RW log book to ensure that the concentration remains above the Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) required for safe and effective endoscope disinfection.
