Improper Cleaning of Devices at the VA Leads to Major Repercussions

Published June 19, 2009 10:03 AM by Susan Dubay, MPA, BSN, RN

There's been some interesting dialog in the news lately about the problems the VA had this week with the improper cleaning of colonoscopes and the major repercussions. How many of you have been surprised (or not) by what's happened and the resulting media response?

I think it points back again to the simple importance of good cleaning practices, or substituting disposables for products that are at greater risk of contamination. What do you think?
