Authors' objectives:
This technical brief aims to answer two assessment questions: (1) What is the effectiveness of the thermal-disinfection cycle in a washer-disinfector compared with that of pasteurization for reprocessing anesthesia and respiratory devices?
(2) What are the economic implications of using these two procedures?
Authors' recommendations:
In light of the scientific literature, AETMIS finds that thermal disinfection in a washer-disinfector that complies with the requirements of ISO 15883 or CSA-Z15883 and that fits the description provided in CSA-Z314.8-08 is equivalent to conventional pasteurization and is effective for reprocessing anesthesia and respiratory devices.
