Our experiences with health departments and health care facilities suggest that questions surrounding instrument reprocessing errors and other infection control breaches are becoming increasingly common. We describe an approach to management of these incidents that focuses on risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission and the role of public health and other stakeholders to inform patient notification and testing decisions.
我们与卫生部门和医疗保健机构打交道的经历表明，围绕器械再处理错误及其他感染控制违规行为的问题正变得越来越普遍。我们描述了一种针对这些事件的管理方法，该方法侧重于血源性病原体传播的风险以及公共卫生和其他利益相关者在告知患者通知和检测决策方面的作用。
