This article comments on the article by Du , who conducted a randomized controlled trial aiming at evaluating the effectiveness of a novel spray flushing system in cleaning flexible endoscopes while minimizing damage to the working channels. We share our perspective on the importance of improving endoscope reprocessing methods. The findings highlight the spray flushing system's capacity to improve cleaning efficacy while minimizing damage, suggesting that it might be important in enhancing endoscope reprocessing procedures.

Article Synopsis
- The study tested different decontamination methods for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) on beef using various concentrations and volumes of cleaning agents like peracetic acid and acidified sodium chlorite.
- The most effective method was flushing beef with 500 mL of 1,000 ppm peracetic acid, which significantly reduced the STEC population by 2.8 log CFU/cm.
- Treatments with acidified sodium chlorite changed the color and odor of the beef, while flushing with peracetic acid did not significantly alter color but helped in reducing odor when followed by a distilled water wash.

International trends of increasing dairy herd sizes coupled with scarcity of labor have necessitated the enhancement of labor efficiency for dairy production systems. This study quantified the effects of infrastructure, automation, and management practices on the milking and operator efficiency of herringbone and rotary parlors used on pasture-based farms in Ireland. Data were used from 592 milkings across 26 farms (16 herringbones and 10 rotaries).

Background: Commonly used cleaning brushes in the reprocessing of flexible endoscopes often cause damage within the working channels.
Aim: To develop a spray flushing system to achieving effective cleaning of the working channels while minimizing damage.
Methods: This prospective study included 60 used endoscopes and 60 Teflon tubes randomly divided into a control group ( = 30) and an experimental group ( = 30).
