Rodolphe C. Hervé et al. Persistent residual contamination in endoscope channels; a fluorescence epimicroscopy study
Qualität:
This study used fluorescence epimicroscopy to examine working channels from endoscopes, and found considerable amounts of protein and biofilm after cleaning. Calls for sustained precautions and efforts for improved methods for the reprocessing of nonautoclavable, reusable surgical instruments are important.
