A dirty surgical tool interrupted an operation at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan one day after the state ended its probe of dirty instruments at the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) health system, according to an article on the Detroit News website.
Officials with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs notified the DMC on Dec. 22, 2016, it was no longer in violation of eight health codes, concluding a three-month investigation.
The next day, a laparoscopic grasper caked with old blood and brown ooze was marked as sterile and delivered to a Children’s Hospital of Michigan operating room.
DMC notified the state because after the patient's mother posted a comment on the Detroit News website complaining about the dirty instrument.
