Advanced technology and intentional visual inspection practices can greatly improve hospitals' endoscope processing quality, according to an article on the Becker's Infection Control & Clinical Quality website.
Key steps in enhanced visual inspection include:
• Magnification. Sterilization and central processing staff should employ magnification tools during inspection for added visual support.
• Verification methods. When central processing personnel discover foreign contaminants, staff should employ methods to identify unknown contaminants or stains found on surgical devices.
