CDC & FDA Health Update (October/2015)
CDC & FDA alert to healthcare facilities to properly maintain, clean, & disinfect or sterilize reusable medical devices
Why? “Recent infection control lapses due to non-compliance with recommended reprocessing procedures highlight a critical gap in patient safety.”

instruments w/ sponge moistened w/ water
• Place moistened towel over instruments
• Use of pretreatment spray

Transporting Used Endoscopes
• Each endoscope should be transported with its components in its own closed system
• To avoid puncture and penetration damage to the endoscope, forceps and wires used in the procedure should be transported in their own containers.
• The system should be marked with a biohazard label
• The system should be large enough to accommodate a single endoscope without the need to over-coil the insertion or light guide tubes

Manual Cleaning
• Should be conducted as soon as possible after use to prevent soil from drying on the device
• Scopes must be thoroughly cleaned to effectively kill or inactivate microorganisms and may allow for biofilm development
• If it is not possible to start the cleaning process immediately after use, the endoscope manufacturer’s written IFU for delayed reprocessing of endoscopes should be followed.

Flexible Endoscope Manual RinsingThe endoscope and accessories should be thoroughly rinsed with copious amounts of water. • Rinse all channels with adequate flow of water • Rinse all exterior endoscope surfaces with freely flowing potable water • Rinse all valves and other removable components according to the
manufacturer's written IFU • After cleaning, all detachable valves should be kept together with the same
endoscope as a unique set

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Bioluminescence
• ATP is present in all living organisms – animal, plant, microorganisms, human secretions and excretions
• Contaminated surfaces show high levels of ATP, clean surfaces show low ATP levels
• The surface is swabbed collecting the ATP present on a surface.
• ATP on the swab is converted to a light signal which
is measured using a luminometer.
• Results are quantitative: ATP bioluminescence
is measured in Relative Light Units
• Benchmark RLU levels used to define“clean”
© 3M 2016. All Rights Reserved
Protein Test• Can be used to detect protein residues left on surgical
instruments due to inefficient cleaning.• Where does protein come from?
• Blood, tissue, body fluids, microbes
• Several different methods: Biuret, Ninhydrin• Qualitative or semi-quantitative – colorimetric• Not real time• Recommended by ISO 15883-1:2006 Washer-
Disinfector as a method to assess cleaning efficacy
