INSTRUMENT REPROCESSING
High-Level Disinfection and Sterilization
Scoring Re-Evaluated, cont'd
Dry Endoscopes Before Storing
Recent articles have indicated that a key
component of ensuring that microorganisms
do not replicate during storage is careful
drying-not the duration of storage. Surveyors
will check for compliance with manufacturers'
instructions for drying scopes, but will no
longer score any finding related to hang time
unless a reprocessing frequency has been
specified by the endoscope manufacturer and
is not followed.
Any IC02.02.01 findings on survey before
September 1 will not be removed. Hospitals
that are in the clarification window or that
are preparing their Evidence of Standards
Compliance (ESC) report should document
compliance based upon the refined
scoring guidelines. If you believe that your
organization received an adverse decision
based solely on a finding that would no
longer be scored, please contact the Standards
Interpretation Group via the online form.
We want the survey process to be as
transparent as possible and hope that scoring
refinements will help organizations focus their
efforts on keeping patients safe!
