Reprocessed Endoscope Microbial Sampling, Culture, and Surveillance Procedures Hardy Diagnostics offers 0.01M Phosphate Buffered Saline with 0.02% Tween® 80 (PBST) and Sterile Water for microbial sampling and testing protocols for endoscope reprocessing surveillance procedures as detailed in the procedures published by the CDC called Interim Sampling Method for the Duodenoscope.
Recommended for use in performing microbial sampling, culture, and surveillance procedures for reprocessed endoscopes.
Hardy Diagnostics 0.01M PBS with 0.02% Tween® 80 (Cat. no. U334) is useful for the recovery of microbial cells, including spores, from environmental samples.
Hardy's Sterile Water (Cat. no. U336) is useful for performing rinsing procedures because it provides a higher sterility assurance level (SAL) than tap water.
Products have a long shelf life of 365 days from the date of manufacture.
Refer to the following illustration as an example of how to collect samples from the distal end and instrument channel of reprocessed duodenoscopes.
Details on the CDC recommendations for sampling can be found in the Interim Sampling Method for the Duodenoscope - Distal End and Instrument Channel guidance document
