Risk evaluation of duodenoscope-associated infections in the Netherlands calls for a heightened awareness of device-related infections: a systematic review

Judith A. Kwakman et al.

Summary: The calculated minimum estimated risk of DAI in Dutch ERCP practice was approximately 0.01%, which is significantly higher than previously published risk estimates. Greater awareness and innovative solutions are needed to mitigate and eliminate the risk of duodenoscope-associated infections.

A narrative review on current duodenoscope reprocessing techniques and novel developments

Maarten Heuvelmans et al.

Summary: Duodenoscopy-associated infections are a global issue, with a lack of standardized sampling protocols and laborious supplemental reprocessing measures. While these measures aim to reduce contamination prevalence, they have led to increased costs and processing time, with limited efficacy. Research into new methods like single-use duodenoscopes and alternative disinfection techniques is ongoing to address the persisting problem of duodenoscope contamination.

The Effectiveness of Drying on Residual Droplets, Microorganisms, and Biofilms in Gastrointestinal Endoscope Reprocessing: A Systematic Review

Hefeng Tian et al.

Summary: This review focused on the importance of gastrointestinal endoscope drying and evaluated the effectiveness of different drying methods in reducing residual droplets and microbial growth risk. The combination of an automatic endoscope reprocessor and Dri-Scope Aid for drying over 10 minutes or storage in a drying cabinet for 72 hours may be preferred options to reduce infection risk.

Comparing visual inspection and performance observation for evaluation of hospital cleanliness

Ying-Chun Chen et al.

Summary: The study compared hospital cleanliness assessment methods and found that combining performance observation with ATP bioluminescence is more suitable for evaluating the cleanliness of high-risk surfaces, while visual inspection is a rapid and time-saving assessment tool for low-risk surfaces.
