High impact information on Sigmoidoscopes

  • Illness was associated with use of sigmoidoscopes cleaned by one clinic assistant and appeared to be caused by 2% glutaraldehyde disinfectant solution left in the instruments after cleaning [1].
  • Both the Olympus OSF-30 and Olympus OSF-60 flexible sigmoidoscopes were used on each patient alternately [2].
  • Approximately 12 h after a Colyte bowel prep, a small catheter (OD less than 3 mm), containing three solid-state pressure transducers spaced 5 cm apart, was positioned by flexible sigmoidoscope at 40-50 cm from the anal verge [3].
