Abstract

Objective: To evaluate possible damages in naso-fiberscopes caused by disinfection with peracetic acid. Method: Applied research. Three new naso-fiberscopes
subjected to disinfection with peracetic acid were monitored and photographed under stereoscopic microscope, for 18 months, to evaluate the behavior
of the polymer and fiber naso-fiberscopes, related to the use of this disinfectant. Nurses and medical team were trained with emphasis on the correct handling and
safe processing of the fibers. Results: Fibers were regularly analyzed and photographed during the study period, totaling 3,979 uses. In all fibers, cracking of the
excess adhesive material around the fiber sealing area was observed, without functional impairment. After more than 2,000 uses, a flexible naso-fiberscope (FNF)
developed surface cracks at the distal tip of the fiber cover, without however compromising the sealing test. Conclusion: The peracetic acid did not cause functional
damage or oxidation in the FNFs, in the formulation used and during the study period, although the manufacturer recommends aldehydes solution to disinfect.
