Özet

Background: Duodenoscopes are semi-critical devices used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Disinfection of these instruments is usually based on high-level disinfection procedures with a manual or automated endoscope reprocessor (AER). Duodenoscopes and AER are reported very rarely as a source of infection and outbreaks.
