The efficacy of EO waters on inactivating norovirus and hepatitis A virus in the presence of organic matter

Abstract The ability of acidic electrolyzed oxidizing water (AEO) and neutral electrolyzed oxidizing water (NEO) to inactivate the murine norovirus (MNV-1) surrogate for human norovirus and hepatitis A…

Study

Efficacy of electrolyzed acid water in reprocessing patient used flexible upper endoscopes: Comparison with 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde

Abstract Background and Aim: Two percent glutaraldehyde, the most widely used liquid chemical germicide (LCG), may be hazardous to patients and medical personnel. Alternatives to glutaraldehyde, such as…

Study

Endoscope contamination from HBV- and HCV-positive patients and evaluation of a cleaning/disinfecting method using strongly acidic electrolyzed water

Abstract Background: It is well known that strongly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) has a potent bactericidal effect. We examined residual viruses on endoscopes that were used in hepatitis…

Study

Disinfection potential of electrolyzed solutions containing sodium chloride at low concentrations

Abstract Electrolyzed products of sodium chloride solution were examined for their disinfection potential against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in vitro. Electrolysis of 0.05%…

Study

Inactivation of a hepadnavirus by electrolysed acid water

Abstract Glutaraldehyde is used as a disinfectant for endoscopes, but is an irritant and so should be replaced by an alternative. Electrolysed acid water (EAW) has a bactericidal…
