  • Title: Noncompliance with FDA and society guidelines for endoscopic reprocessing: implications for patient care.
    Author: DiMarino AJ.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2000 Apr; 10(2):283-94. PubMed ID: 10683215.
    Abstract:
    Flexible endoscopic instruments are very valuable in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Current guidelines for reprocessing these instruments between patient use are appropriate. Rigid adherence to these guidelines, however, will be necessary to reassure governmental authorities, other medical authorities, and the public that the risk of infection from these procedures is minimal.
