    Objective: To systematically analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of reprocessing with laboratory validation and ATP, to optimize high-level disinfection in endoscopes. Material and Methods: Systematic review of experimental, cohort studies, randomized controlled and uncontrolled trials, subjected to critical selection, found in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo, Wiley Online Library, Elsevier, Redalyc. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, we found that 60% (06) correspond to the USA, with 20% (2) correspond to Brazil and 10% to Mexico and Chile. Likewise, among the studies, it was obtained that 50% indicate that the Bioluminescence test is quick and economical for the identification of microorganisms, also 10% indicate that ATP cannot replace cultures performed with endoscopes in the laboratory, for 100 % of studies Cleaning is essential for adequate endoscope reprocessing and thus avoiding cross infections. Conclusions: According to the articles reviewed, there is no effectiveness of reprocessing with laboratory validation and ATP, to optimize high-level disinfection in endoscopes, since in most cases the endoscopes are not adequately cleaned; Automated washing is more effective than manual washing of endoscopes.
