A joint opinion of the SFED and the SF2H recommends to orient our colonoscopy practices towards the use of bacteriologically controlled water in reusable bottles for colonic irrigation. To date, no study exists to validate the proposed set-up. Our main objective is therefore to evaluate the microbiological safety of the use of bacteriologically controlled water, in particular the absence of retro contamination of the water in the wash bottle by the faecal flora of the patient undergoing colonoscopy, in order to be able to generalise this practice
