Peracetic acid (PAA) is a highly effective biocidal oxidizer that retains its efficacy even in the presence of organic soil, making disinfection with peracetic acid an excellent choice for removing surface contaminants such as proteins on medical tubing like endoscopic tubes. Since its introduction in 1988, PAA has been utilized in automated machines to chemically sterilize a variety of medical, surgical, and dental instruments, including endoscopes and arthroscopes, through a microprocessor-controlled, low-temperature sterilization method widely adopted across the United States.
