Quality Systems Approach for Endoscope Reprocessing : You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know! - 02/09/20
Résumé |
Several factors affect the efficacy of endoscope reprocessing, including human factors, inadequate cleaning, simethicone residuals, moisture in channels during storage, and biofilm or buildup biofilm formation. These factors all contribute to contamination of patient-ready endoscopes that may contribute to transmission of microorganisms resulting in infection and/or colonization. This article reviews monitoring as part of a quality management system that includes manual cleaning, dry storage, and culture to detect endoscope contamination. The published data for rapid tests that detect organic residuals and adenosine triphosphate to monitor manual cleaning are reviewed.
