Liquid Chemical Sterilization

Now is the time to commit to a higher standard of care. Liquid chemical sterilization (LCS) provides a higher level of reprocessing assurance for heat-sensitive critical and semi-critical medical devices compared to high level disinfection.

"Routine sterilization of flexible endoscopes is preferred because of the significant public health risk and the greater margin of safety" and "Sterilization is highly recommended for high-risk devices." - ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021.

LCS eliminates all viable microbial life, including bacterial spores such as C-Diff, supporting infection prevention best practices. STERIS's automated Liquid Chemical Sterilant Processing Systems are the most practical solution for low temperature LCS of heat-sensitive complex endoscopes, including flexible multi-channel devices such as duodenoscopes used in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.
