Throughout an endoscopic examination, the external surface and internal channels of flexible endoscopes are exposed to body fluids and contaminants. Consequently, reprocessing of these reusable, complex instruments is imperative to infection prevention. Reprocessing is typically achieved by mechanical and detergent cleaning, followed by high-level disinfection (HLD), rinsing, and drying1Calderwood A.H. Muthusamy V.R.

Current issues in endoscope reprocessing and infection control during gastrointestinal endoscopy.World J Gastroenterol. 2006; 12: 3953-3964Crossref PubMed Scopus (100) Google Scholar Reprocessing guidelines have become a cornerstone for endoscopy units across the United States seeking initial certification and subsequent maintenance of accreditation. To help prevent the transmission of infection and to protect patients, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services standards require that ambulatory surgery centers and hospitals must have a formal infection control program. The infection control program must be based on nationally recognized infection control guidelines, directed by a designated healthcare professional with training in infection control, be ongoing, and include actions to prevent, identify, and manage infections and communicable diseases. The infection control and prevention program must include documentation that the ambulatory surgery center or hospital has considered, selected, and implemented nationally recognized infection control guidelines; however, no specific infection control guideline is endorsed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and this decision is left to the discretion of endoscopy units. To comply with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services standards, endoscopy units must cite references from nationally recognized specialty societies in developing their policies and procedures on endoscope reprocessing. Multiple reprocessing guidelines exist to provide endoscopy units with specific recommendations on how to safely reprocess endoscopes and comply with governmental regulations. These reprocessing guidelines have been formulated by several national and international medical societies that include a variety of stakeholders such as physicians, nurses, infection control and medical instrumentation experts, and various government agencies. However, based on the setting of and leadership within the endoscopy unit, there is likely heterogeneity in which reprocessing recommendations are followed. Thus, it is imperative that endoscopy units review their infection control policies and reconcile any differences between reprocessing recommendations so that contradictory policies are not developed or followed. As part of the infection control guideline adoption process, endoscopy units should be aware of areas of consensus and differences as they relate to available reprocessing guidelines. Moreover, endoscopy units must undergo surveys and may be held accountable to national guidelines that are not necessarily applicable. In addition, endoscopy units and hospitals may adopt policies from national organizations that are neither recognized nor accepted by surveyors. Unless specifically stated otherwise in the federal requirements, facilities do have the latitude to adopt nationally recognized policies most suitable to their setting.5ASGE policy and procedure reference guide.https://www.asge.org/home/practice-support/practice-resources/asge-policy-procedure-reference-guideDate accessed: April 4, 2021Google Scholar Given the multitude of organizational reprocessing guidelines and varying surveying organizations, endoscopy units may find it challenging to be compliant with federal or state requirements based on the adoption of a particular organizational guideline. Regulators who use one guideline may penalize an endoscopy unit based on those guidelines, simply because the endoscopy unit is following another guideline for reprocessing. Therefore, it is imperative to provide endoscopy units with a comparative review of all major reprocessing guidelines to assist them in responding to regulators when both applying for and maintaining accreditation. This document specifically examines the similarities and differences among various organizations as it pertains to endoscope reprocessing and provides a framework to reconcile the recommendations made by various organizations surrounding this topic. By providing a comparative review of multiple national societal reprocessing guidelines, this document puts each guideline in context with each other, provides endoscopy units with a risk assessment tool before site surveys, and allows better communication between regulators and endoscopy unit directors and managers undergoing review. This document focuses on the recommendations enumerated by the following organizations given their high level of national expertise, experience in medical device infection prevention, and comprehensive standards set forth:•Multi-Society Reprocessing Guideline spearheaded by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy•Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI)•Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN)•Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC)•Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA)•Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC)•European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Each organization listed above has used criteria to evaluate the level of evidence and provide specific recommendations. The most recent update on the Multi-Society Guideline on reprocessing endoscopes spearheaded by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy uses the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework (Supplementary Tables 1 and 2, available online at www.giejournal.org).6Day L.W.

AORN, Inc, Denver, CO2016: 675-758Google Scholar The literature was independently evaluated, appraised, and rated according to the strength and quality of the evidence using the AORN Evidence Rating Model. The original APIC guideline for infection prevention and control in flexible endoscopy was published in 1994 and revised in 2000 to reflect updates by other organizations.10Alvarado C. Reichelderfer M. APIC guideline for infection prevention and control in flexible endoscopy.Am J Infect Control. 2000; 28: 138-155Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (216) Google Scholar APIC has since commented on a number of documents and resources related to endoscope reprocessing. The Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates originally published a document on the standards of infection prevention and reprocessing flexible GI endoscopes in 1996 that was most recently revised in 2018.11Loyola M. Bocian S. Diskey A. et al.SGNA: standards of infection prevention in reprocessing flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes.2018Google Scholar These guidelines were based on a comprehensive review of the current published data but did not provide any strength of recommendation or rating for the quality of evidence. HICPAC, a federal advisory committee chartered to provide advice and guidance to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), produced an updated document in 2017 on the essential elements of a reprocessing program for flexible endoscopes.12HICPAC WorkgroupEssential elements of a reprocessing program for flexible endoscopes—recommendations of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee.2017: 1-12Google Scholar The HICPAC workgroup contained multiple stakeholder organizations including all U.S. organizations discussed in this document. The most recent update to the ESGE recommendations on endoscope reprocessing guidelines in 2018 was completed in conjunction with the European Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates.13Beilenhoff U. Blum R. Brljak J. et al.Reprocessing of flexible endoscopes and endoscopic accessories used in gastrointestinal endoscopy: position statement of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscope (ESGE) and European Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (ESGENA)—update 2018.Endoscopy. 2018; 50: 1205-1234Crossref PubMed Scopus (109) Google Scholar The quality of the evidence and strength of recommendations were not formally graded because they were generally low. In this guideline we focus on the aforementioned organizations. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), World Health Organization, and several national and international organizations have also lent guidance on various aspects of endoscope reprocessing, and their recommendations are also included as deemed appropriate. The aim of this document is to provide a comparative review of multiple societal reprocessing guidelines, outline a framework of best practices, and create a risk assessment tool that endoscopy units and regulatory bodies can use during the accreditation process. Several aspects of endoscope reprocessing are imperative to infection prevention and are examined in this document. These core principles of infection control include staff training and competency, endoscopy unit layout, precleaning, leak testing, manual cleaning, HLD, rinsing and drying, storage protocol and cabinet design, microbiologic surveillance, cleaning of accessories, and maintenance of endoscopes. Areas in which there is near complete agreement among guidelines in reprocessing endoscopes are enumerated in Table 1. Recommendations summarizing the areas in which there is a lack of consensus among guidelines in reprocessing endoscopes can be found in Table 2. To see a more comprehensive summary of the recommendations of each organization, refer to Supplementary Table 3.Table 1Uniform consensus among endoscope reprocessing guidelinesStaff training and competency•All staff should undergo reprocessing training and competency should be verified6Day L.W.
