Duodenoscope

Marsil Laboratories provides microbiological testing for reprocessed duodenoscopes. Periodic or routine surveillance sampling and culturing of reprocessed duodenoscopes if implemented successfully will provide early detection of potential problems.

 Microbiological sampling and culturing of duodenoscope involves sampling duodenoscope channels and the distal end of the duodenoscope as recommended by the CDC's interim sampling method. This is accompanied by culturing and identifying bacterial contamination that may be present on the duodenoscope after reprocessing.

Marsil Laboratories will provide sterile sampling brushes at “NO COST” to you as well as sterile swabs if requested.
