Probenahme zur hygienisch-mikrobiologischen Überprüfung flexibler Endoskope – aktuelle Empfehlungen

Die hygienisch-mikrobiologische Überprüfung von flexiblen Endoskopen ist ein zusätzliches Element der Qualitätssicherung bei der Aufbereitung von flexiblen Endoskopen. Hierbei sind aussagekräftige Probenahmen für die spätere mikrobiologische Analytik essenziell. Dieser Beitrag vergleicht die aktuellen Empfehlungen verschiedener Länder und Fachgesellschaften.
