Cystoscope/Ureteroscope Surveillance Microtesting Requirements

[kate.ryan@austin.org.au]

Hi All,
I am wondering whether someone can point me to a document or guideline that has a list of recommended Cystoscope/Ureteroscope Surveillance Microtesting Requirements? GENCA’s Infection Control in Endoscopy has very clear management pathways for endoscopes and bronchoscopes, but there is no mention of Cystoscope/Ureteroscopes.

I would appreciate some information on which organisms you test for, quantities you are looking for, and which ones you consider mod/high risk that would indicate the scope needs to be quarantined.

I would also appreciate any indication of whether the GENCA document will include this information in the next iteration planned for this year?

Kind regards

Kate Ryan
