Endoscopes - Challenges
• Arguably the most difficult pieces of equipment to reprocess• Limited scopes
• Scopes cost from $25,000 to $100,000
• Repairs = $5,000 - $8,000
• Scheduling issues • Long narrow flexible channels • Difficult to clean• Cannot see inside of lumens

AORN Guidelines for Perioperative Practices
Guideline for Processing Flexible Endoscopes – February 2016• Provides evidence-based, detailed recommendations for:
• Processing room design
• Surgical attire and PPE
• Competencies
• Best practices for leak testing
• Cleaning, inspecting, high-level disinfectionor sterilization
• Storage of endoscopes

AORN Guidelines - Evidence Based• Guidance for all types of reusable flexible endoscopes and
accessories:• Perioperative
• Endoscopy, and
• Sterile processing for processing
• Extensive Search for Endoscope Processing / Infection Transmission
• Reviewed approximately 3,400 published pieces of literature
• Used 418 documents with the strongest evidence
• Score assigned to recommendation(s):
• Level of strength, and Quality of the published findings
© 3M 2016. All Rights Reserved
Appraisal Score
• Ratings:• regulatory requirements
• strong evidence
• high evidence
• moderate evidence
• limited evidence
• benefits balanced with harm
• Brackets at the end of the recommendation(s)
• Example:• I.h.1. Decontamination sinks should be
deep enough to allow complete submersion of the endoscope and large enough to allow the endoscope to be positioned in the sink without tight coiling. [2: High Evidence]
© 3M 2016. All Rights Reserved
Classifications of Endoscope Families • Proposed by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE)
• Based on characteristics:• Construction,
• Purpose, and
• Clinical applications of the channels
• Groups:1) Gastroscopes, colonoscopes, and duodenoscopes with an encapsulated elevator channel.
2) Additional instrument channel, elevator channel and up to two control channels with an open elevator channel
3) One channel or less- bronchoscopes, laryngoscopes, and nasendoscopes.

• Lead author of this guideline
• Processing staff must understand the most current evidence
• New AORN guidelines - changes that should be implemented immediately, for example no longer disinfecting flexible endoscopes manually (e.g., soaking in a pan of high-level disinfectant solution)

Leak Testing• Leak (pressure) testing should be performed on flexible
endoscopes before cleaning• Usually under water – (check IFU)
• Checks for holes in the external surfaces and internal channels
• Control knobs should be manipulated in all directions during leak testing.
• If a leak is detected –• Leak testing device should remain attached to the
endoscope and under pressure until the endoscope is removed from the water

Manual Cleaning
• Following leak testing and before HLD or sterilization manually clean endoscope
• Follow specific IFU for :• Type of water
• Type of cleaning solution (freshly prepared)
• Concentration, temperature, contact time, etc.
• Detach removable parts
• Completely submerge in cleaning solution
• Use soft, lint-free cloth or sponge
• Flush all internal channel etc.

Mechanically Clean and Mechanically Process (VIII)
• AORN now recommends after manual cleaning mechanical processing should be conducted (when compatible).
• Mechanical cleaning
• Mechanical high-level disinfection or sterilization, and
• Mechanical rinsing
• Why?• Improved cleaning
• Improved rinsing of disinfectants (reduce potential for residual disinfectant)
• Reduces potential for human error and noncompliance.

Flexible Endoscope Storage• In a manner that protects the device from damage
and minimizes microbial contamination• Terminally sterilized: stored in sterile storage area to
protect packaging
• HLD or Liquid chemical sterilization:• Cabinet with doors
• Clean and secure location
• Not in procedure room
• At least 3 ft. from any sink
AORN Guidelines for Processing Flexible Endoscopes 2016

HLD/LCS Flexible Endoscopes Storage• Should be stored in a drying cabinet:• If not available:
• May be stored in a closed cabinet with HEPA-filtered air that provides positive pressure and allows air circulation around the endoscopes
• Cabinet that is either:• Designed by the cabinet manufacturer for
horizontal storage
• Vertical: sufficient height, width, and depth to allow flexible endoscopes to hang without coiling and without touching the bottom of the cabinet
© 3M 2016. All Rights Reserved 63
HLD/LCS Flexible Endoscope Storage• Valves open and removable parts detached but stored with endoscope
• Clearly identified as processed and ready for use
• Cabinets visually inspected for cleanliness before placed into or removed
• Wear clean gloves when handling or transporting:• Low-protein
• Powder-free
• Natural rubber latex or latex-free
• Cabinet cleaned and disinfected when visibly soiled and on a regular (e.g., daily, weekly) basis

“Hang Time”• AORN no longer recommends a specific maximum storage
time, such as five days
• Multidisciplinary team determines how long the scopes can be stored without being reprocessed prior to use
• Infection preventionists
• Endoscopy nurses
• Processing personnel
• Endoscopists, etc.
• Consider variables:• How and where the scopes are stored
• Results of cleaning verification tests
• Requirement to wear gloves when handling etc.
• AORN provides an extensive evidence review to assist the team
