Endoscopy Overview
• 20 Mill ion annual endoscopies in the US
• “More health care acquired infections (HAIs) have been linked with the use of contaminated endoscopes than any other medical device.” W. A .
R u t a l a , M D
• Flexible endoscopes l isted as one of the top 10 technology hazards for several years.E C R I I n s t i t u t e
• The estimated patient risk of associated infections are considered to be rare at 1:1.8 mill ion procedures. D L C a r r - L o c k e , M D 1 9 9 3

Vulnerabilities
‣ Perceived risks are outdated
‣ Most outbreaks are not published
‣ Most outbreaks are not investigated
‣ It is difficult to link all issues to
contaminated endoscopes
‣ Reviews of reprocessing practices show
widespread lapses in essential steps
‣ Risks are greater than just infections (e.g.,
toxicity with aldehydes)

Reprocessing Lapses and Associated Outcomes
Endoscopy Associated Infections (EAI)
‣ No incentive to report EAIs
‣ Nearly all result from failure to
appropriately clean and reprocess
‣ Three recent studies have incident rates of
0.5%-3.4%
• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal Pain
‣ Breaches historically focused on viruses
‣ Need to focus on EAI transmission by mult i
microorganisms 6 Ofstead CL, Langlay AM etal. Re-evaluating endoscopy-associated infection risk estimates

Tip of the Iceberg
• Failure to follow guidelines
• Failure to pre-clean
• Inadequate chemical exposure
• Dirty scopes allowed to dry
• Improper (use of) cleaning supplies
• Inadequate/skipped steps
• Improper storage
• Incorrect programming of AERs
• Failure to notice or report malfunctions
• Lack of employee competency
• Documentation lapses
