what is wrong with this picture
what is wrong with this picture The statement below is from the is from the Dec 10th updated safety communication about rates of duodenoscope infections.
"However, it has become clear that following the manufacturer’s reprocessing and maintenance instructions, while critical, is not sufficient to avoid all infections associated with the use of duodenoscopes. That is why the FDA has also been working with developers on new product designs, including disposable components. Technological advances in product design hold promise to reduce the risk of contamination and enhance patient safety"
Why does the FDA not simply state the VP4 as a solution to this problem? Why do they continue to talk about new product design holding promise when the VP4 is apparently approved to solve this issue? This does not make sense. Who has a reasonable explanation?
