To sterilize an endoscope, it is typically subjected to high-level disinfection using an automated system or manual methods. This process usually involves cleaning the endoscope thoroughly to remove any organic material, followed by soaking it in a chemical disinfectant like glutaraldehyde or ortho-phthalaldehyde for the required time. Alternatively, some facilities may use steam sterilization if the endoscope's materials permit. Finally, the endoscope should be rinsed and dried before storage or use.
