Personnel assigned to reprocess endoscopes should
receive device-specific reprocessing instructions (ie,
endoscope and/or AER manufacturer, as needed) to
ensure proper cleaning and high-level disinfection or
sterilization. Competency testing of personnel that reprocess
endoscopes should be performed and documented
on a regular basis (eg, at the start of use,
annually). Temporary personnel should not be allowed
to reprocess endoscopes until competency has
been established.
