Endoscopy
Conditions
Brief summary
This project is being performed to examine the results of duodenoscope cultures following standard of care cleaning and reprocessing.
Detailed description
This project is being performed to examine the results of duodenoscope cultures following standard of care cleaning and reprocessing. This information will allow us to elucidate the number of endoscopic procedures that can be performed using a single duodenoscope until microorganisms are cultured from duodenoscopes after standard of care cleaning and reprocessing. This will in turn allow us to improve the delivery of healthcare to patients undergoing endoscopic procedures.
Interventions
Culture of reusable duodenoscopes following each use.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Microorganism Growth | 6 months | The aim of this registry is to identify the number of endoscopic procedures that can be performed using reusable duodenoscopes before microorganisms are grown from duodenoscope cultures following standard of care cleaning and reprocessing. This will enable us to identify the maximum number of procedures that can be performed with a single duodenoscope before being sent to the manufacturer to be refurbished. |
