Slide 17
More than 20 million endoscopy procedures are
performed in the US each year. Patient outcomes are
not routinely tracked, however reports of pathogen
transmission resulting from these procedures are rare.
Between 1966 and 1992, the 281 cases of pathogen
transmission were associated with a reprocessing
guidelines breach.
Since the adoption of specific reprocessing guidelines
from 1988 to 1992, the incidence of pathogen
transmission was approximately 1 in 1.8 million
procedures.

Validate compatibility
◦ Endoscope manufacturers must validate the compatibility of
the reprocessing solutions used on the endoscopes
◦ Medical facilities should confirm that the endoscope
manufacture has validated all model endoscopes which will be
reprocessed in the chemicals used by the AER the customer is
considering.

The Spaulding Classification System says that any
instrument that penetrates the mucous membrane (like
biopsy forceps) must be sterile.
Biopsy forceps, snares or other devices that pass through
an endoscope channel become contaminated
immediately upon entering channel.
Is it necessary to sterilize such devices or can they be
reprocessed by high-level disinfection?
