Abstract
- Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE) issued its guidelines for endoscope reprocessing for the first time in 1995, and the version of the guidelines has been updated in August 2009, August 2012 and March 2015, respectively. Guidelines for endoscope reprocessing should be revised continuously because new disinfectants and devices are introduced. The current official version of the KSGE guidelines for endoscope reprocessing is explained herein to assist the reader in understanding of KSGE requirements for cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes.
