  • Title: Ensuring the effective reprocessing of flexible endoscopes.
    Journal: Health Devices; 2007 Nov; 36(11):352-61. PubMed ID: 18543530.
    Abstract:
    The correct reprocessing of flexible endoscopes is essential to prevent pathogens from being transmitted from patient to patient, as well as to ensure that patients are not exposed to chemical residue from the endoscope decontamination process. In this article, we describe key considerations for preparing a flexible endoscope to be safely reused.
