- PreviewReports of duodenoscope-transmitted infections date back to at least 1987, when Allen et al1 detailed an outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa among 10 patients. Since this event, there have been many reports of duodenoscope-transmitted infections, often with multidrug-resistant organisms. To date, there have been at least 350 affected patients at 41 facilities since 2010.2 Initially, outbreaks were attributed to nonadherence with guidelines from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and from manufacturers for endoscope inspection, manual cleaning, high-level disinfection (HLD), or storage.
