A low temperature sterilization solution to the endoscope contamination issue is THE hot topic of this conference. Note, for example, that Getinge is leading a symposium to discuss low temp solutions for the endoscope contamination problem:
1300 – 1350 M1 – Lunch Symposium Getinge, Endoscope Reprocessing – Challenges and Solutions Christina Bailey – Laboratory Manager of the Hospital Infection Research Laboratory at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust).
Flexible endoscopes are probably the most challenging of medical devices to decontaminate. They are heat sensitive, have a complex internal lumen configuration and there is a requirement in many endoscopy units for a rapid turnaround. The challenges are numerous and this presentation will aim to present the issues that the UK have been facing over the last few years e.g. centralisation of endoscope decontamination and design of decontamination facilities, bacterial quality of final rinse water, validation of endoscope washer disinfectors, processing of duodenoscopes, storage of endoscopes, protection of patients from the risk of transmission of prions. These challenges are not unique to the UK so it will be good to share experiences.
Now, just what revolutionary technology and low temperature solution do you think Getinge will be showcasing at this meeting? Do I need to hint... starts with a 'V'? lol
