The test procedure and test loads described below are designed to demonstrate compliance with the
requirements of cleaning efficacy in accordance with ISO/FDIS 15883-1:2005, 6.10 but take into consideration
the complex nature of the endoscope.
The measurement of cleaning efficacy shall be made on the cleaning stage alone. This shall include any
processes which take place in the WD prior to admission of the disinfectant.
Cleaning efficacy tests shall be carried out first on the surrogate device and subsequently on sufficient (but at
least two) different devices to be representative of the devices that the WD is intended to process.
