Endoscopy: ATP and Borescope

    Hello All

     

    I am working closely with our endoscopy department on updating and improving some of our processes. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing information about their endoscopy department's scope reprocessing.

     

    Does your department use ATP on high-risk scopes? If not, do they use any soil marker test prior to HLD?

     

    Does your department culture their scopes? If so, how often?

     

    Does your department use a borescope to visualize their endoscopes? If so, how often? If they are using the borescope in endoscopy, I would love to hear any information about their process.

     

    Any information is much appreciated! Thank you for your time!

     

    Thanks

    Theresa
