For example, a client outside of Europe wants to improve their Endoscope reprocessing practices whilst also demonstrating that they meet best international practices and standards.

EUsterile engineers and consultants will liaise with the responsible persons and begin with an initial audit of several Endoscopy departments and the installed reprocessing equipment – Endoscope Washer Disinfectors (EWDs) and Controlled Environment Storage Cabinets (CESCs).

Reviewing standards, guidance and local policies allows us to get a snapshot of where there may be gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Equipment audit and examination of records can identify issues such as inadequately cleaned endoscopes and we then advise the necessary corrective actions.

We develop a standardised test regime that can be carried out weekly, quarterly and annually throughout the region to demonstrate that minimum requirements are being consistently met.

We then oversee and/or manage validation activities provided by local third parties on behalf of the client.

Lastly we review the reports and test results, providing ongoing advice, feedback and ultimately satisfactory sign off.

Impartial advice is provided year round on all matters from equipment purchasing to department design.

We provide independent expert technical advice on all decontamination matters from writing new equipment specifications to interpreting validation results on existing equipment.

We audit Endoscope reprocessing facilities across key areas from final rinse water quality to controlled environment storage.

We assist the hospital with cycle optimisation; working together to continuously improve.

Our Authorising Engineer (Decontamination) AE(D) is our decontamination consultant who will review validation reports carried out by third parties and provide ongoing advice, feedback and ultimately satisfactory sign off. Impartial advice is provided year round.
