Scrupulous Manual Cleaning of Endsocopes - OH&S Issue
Rank: Guest
|
Posted By Uday The physical tasks performed by hands for removing secretions and contaminants from the endoscopes using a syringe to squirt the fluid into the port BY HAND causes injuries to hand,palm and/or fingers due to repetitive pushing and pulling of syringe while squirting fluid into the endoscopes prior to sterilization. I would appreciate if readers of this forum advise me if there is any other way to clean the scopes(e.g. mechanical way) without physically touching it by hand.Thanks in advance.

Posted By John Murgatroyd I think you will find from this site.....http://www.nursingceu.com/courses/84/index_nceu.html......that it is necessary to do most of the job using hands.....due to the complexity of most of the equipment..
