Reprocessing Validations: Flexible Endoscopes and AAMI ST91

The new, revised AAMI ST91:2021 standard discusses flexible and semi-rigid endoscope processing in healthcare facilities and more. It includes requirements and recommendations for ongoing process monitoring and maintenance for these endoscopes – and the equipment that cleans them. The standard is meant for healthcare facilities, but can be beneficial for manufacturers, too. How? By helping them better understand and implement practices in their validation studies and help ensure healthcare facilities follow the standard with ease.
