ABSTRACT
The potential transmission of infections with endoscopes, particularly duodenoscopes, has been documented in recent years. To reduce this risk, different scientific societies have delivered recommendations on improving
reprocessing procedures and microbial surveillance on endoscopes. Based on the importance of this issue, 8 Italian scientific societies of physicians, nurses and technical operators have prepared a joint document which takes into account institutional advisories and facilities across Italy. The recommendations for a correct microbial surveillance on endoscopes was detailed in terms of what, how and when to perform the procedure, including suggestions on what to do in the event of contamination.
