pubmed:abstractText |
We assessed the ability of a standard disinfection procedure to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) from the air-water channel of hysteroscopes. The residual HCV RNA remaining after the disinfection procedure was measured by polymerase chain reaction. When correctly applied to hysteroscopes, the standard disinfection procedure was sufficient to eliminate the risk of HCV transmission.
