在法国，内窥镜维护法规在涉及朊病毒风险的医疗器械消毒和灭菌的定义和文本方面存在一些特殊性。规定的主要措施是消毒前的双重清洁，并对程序本身作出了一些规定，如时限、持续时间和冲洗。禁止在清洁产品中使用醛类，建议在消毒阶段使用过氧乙酸或任何氯化产品。对于机器，禁止回收清洁剂或消毒剂，并强制执行可追溯性程序。法国健康产品安全局（AFSSAPS）致力于提供标准，以防止对患者、操作员或设备造成任何不良后果。所有这些措施都将在由国家医院感染技术委员会（CTIN）发布的医疗保健单位“用户指南”中进行描述。（2004）医院感染协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
In France, endoscope maintenance regulations present some particularities in terms of the definitions and texts referring to the disinfection and sterilization of medical devices, with respect to the prion risk. The main measures specified are a double cleaning prior to disinfection, with some stipulations concerning the procedure itself, such as time Limits, duration and rinsing. The use of aldehydes in cleaning products is prohibited and it is recommended that peracetic acid, or any chlorinated product, be used at the disinfection phase. For machines, the recycling of detergents or disinfectants is prohibited, and traceability procedures are mandatory. The French Agency for Safety of Health Products (AFSSAPS) is committed to providing standards that prevent any undesirable consequences for the patient, the operator or the equipment. All these measures will be described in a 'user's guide' intended for medical care units, to be released by the National Technical Committee on Nosocomial Infections (CTIN).
