Some experts believe lapses in protocols for the cleaning and disinfection or sterilization of endoscopes occur more frequently than may be reported in the media. If so, this may increase the potential risk for endoscope cross-contamination. The ECRI Institute, Plymouth Meeting, Pa., called attention to this issue recently by ranking the potential for cross-contamination of endoscopes the No. 1 technology hazard in its third annual report on the subject. But by establishing and executing proper protocols for endoscope reprocessing, hospitals can better manage this risk.
一些专家认为，内窥镜清洁、消毒或灭菌规程中的失误发生频率可能高于媒体报道的情况。如果是这样，这可能会增加内窥镜交叉污染的潜在风险。宾夕法尼亚州普利茅斯会议的医疗保健研究与质量机构（ECRI Institute）最近在其关于该主题的第三份年度报告中，将内窥镜交叉污染的可能性列为头号技术危害，从而引起了人们对这个问题的关注。但是，通过制定并执行适当的内窥镜再处理规程，医院可以更好地管理这一风险。
