Audit of flexible-endoscope decontamination In document Health Technical Memorandum Decontamination of flexible endoscopes. Part C: Operational management Page Summary for commissioners and quality inspectors The purpose of audit is discussed and the guides that can be used to carry out the exercise.
Audit is limited to the information at its disposal, but the aim is to confirm systems are in place to provide endoscopes safe for next patient use, being clean and free of biological contamination. Internal audit — decontamination 6. Every year over , patients in England acquire a healthcare associated infection whilstin hospital.
Medical Audits provide advice, support, training, consultancy and auditing services to Acute hospitals, Nursing homes, Hospices, Residential care settings and other Healthcare providers so they can continue to provide and maintain a safe environment for their clients and residents during the COVID Pandemic. Flexible endoscopes have been associated with more hospital acquired infections than any other device Spach et al, and require unique decontamination considerations due to their design.
Their external surfaces and internal channels for air, water, aspiration and accessories are all potentially exposed to body fluids and other contaminants. They are also heat labile and so cannot be autoclaved. These must go through a process of sterilisation rather than high level disinfection.
Endoscope decontamination is a specialist process and needs to be carried out in a designated Endoscopy Unit. This audit is designed and developed to assist you in assuring you meet the relevant standards and guidelines and identify areas for intervention. Guidelines on the management of endoscopes have been updated on many occasions since they were first published in This audit was designed with reference to the most up to date NHS guidelines and has been prepared with reference to Using Medical Audits Decontamination Audit system you can audit practice against the most up to date NHS decontamination standards and HSE decontamination code of practice as well as best practice guidelines for Infection Prevention and control in endoscopy units.
The decontamination audit system has been designed to assist identification of risks and training requirements, assess practice in relation to safe management of reusable invasive medical devices and evidence your compliance with relevant endoscopy unit standards. Environmental Hygiene Audit Tools.
