Glutaraldehido
A cold sterilising agent commonly used for sterilising endoscopes and other fragile equipment. It used also to be present in radiographic developer solution. It is now much less common as a cause of occupational asthma now digital radiology has removed it from x-rays and substitution has removed it from endoscope sterilisation.

Oasys Notifications for Glutaraldehyde

The Oasys Audit scheme started midway through 2010 and collects agents typed in through the Oasys program. The years before 2010 show old data entered during 2010 or later and are likely to have many fewer notifications. We expect Oasys to become more widely adopted as time goes by so increasing notifications does not necessarily mean an increasing problem.
