ABSTRACT:
A decontamination system suitable for decontaminating items of medical equipment such as endoscopes, the system comprising:(I) a plurality of pre-clean wipes comprising moist fabric members for wiping an item to be decontaminated;(II) a two-part sterilant system comprising:(a) a first part comprising a first reagent in a carrier medium; and(b) a second part which is miscible with the first part and which comprises a second reagent in a carrier medium;wherein the first reagent and the second reagent will react when mixed to provide a sterilizing composition;the first part being contained in a dispenser (2) whereby it may be dispensed as a fluid, and the second part being absorbed or impregnated in a plurality of sterilizing wipes (18) each of which comprises a fabric member in a sealed container (20); and(III) a plurality of rinse wipes, each rinse wipe comprising a moist, sterile, fabric member in its own sealed container (40).
