The MHRA have advised that medical devices are to be cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, If they are inadequate then an Adverse Incident Report should be raised. Are manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, adequate for the cleaning/decontamination of devices? Do Infection Control Nurses agree with the cleaning processes? Was the decontamination process addressed at the Pre Purchase Questionnaire (PPQ) stage? If not how many Adverse Incident Reports were raised at the Trust/to the MHRA. See this subject in the NAMDET ‘Forum’ page;please discuss. This subject was discussed at length at the NAMDET London and South East region meeting.
