6 CEMB Duodenoscope Activities Protocol development IL and WA outbreak response Literature review, SME feedback Stakeholder engagement Discussions with facilities, societies, federal agencies Feedback to CDC INFO Amended protocols, developed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

7 Protocol development IL Outbreak Response 39 case patients: NDM-producing E. coli Initial protocols used to extract bacteria from duodenoscope Devices were sent to the CDC CEMB laboratory More rigorous methods: broth, brushes, sonication Recovered from duodenoscope: KPC+ K. pneumonia, NDM-producing E. coli Epstein et al. 2015, JAMA, 312(14):1447

8 Protocol development WA outbreak response 32 case patient and 4 of 8 duodenoscopes: multidrug resistant E. coli (hyper ampc) EIS Officers deployed, targeted protocol refined for facilities in mind Methods: targeted individual samples, PBST, sterile water, swab/brush combination, samples shipped to the CDC CEMB laboratory Study, only detected gram-positive bacteria Ross et al. 2015, Gasto Endoscopy, Article in Press

9 Protocol Development Historic Literature 1970 Flushing channels with sterile saline or water to culture was common practice Bond and Moncada (1978) used swab to sample the distal end and other endoscope surfaces 1980 First published validated procedure for sampling endoscopes was published, used flush and swab samples (Hanson et al. 1989, 1990) 1990 Alfa et al. (1991) utilized the Hanson et al. model for sampling duodenoscopes to assess drying Approach was adjusted to passing a brush up/down the channels and sterile water flush (Alfa et al. 1999)

10 Protocol Development Literature Review Sampling location Channel (20 studies), elevator guide wire (3 studies), distal end (3 studies) Sampling technique Flush (16 studies) Brush (8 studies) or swab (2 studies) Combined (2 studies) Sampling media sterile/ro/di water (9 studies) and saline (7 studies)

11 Protocol Development Literature Review Concentration of samples to detect low numbers, centrifugation (3 studies) or membrane filtration (2 studies) Plating/ Culture media Blood (16 studies), MacConkey (9 studies) Counted (CFU) (15 studies) or presence (pos/neg)(4 studies) Common bacteria detected Majority: Pseudomonas (14 studies), Staphylococcus (15 studies) Klebsiella, Acinetobacter (7 studies)

12 I. Sampling Protocol Development Current Status II. Culturing - Agitated, concentrated - Cultured - Focused on high-concern organisms III. Algorithm - Interpretation/Remedial Actions - Criterion for low-concern, action level >10 CFU per scope - Criterion for high-concern, 0 CFU

13 EIN Duodenoscope Survey March 30 to April 22, /699 physicians responded (Infection Control, SHEA members) 31% - no cultures, surveillance cultures, clinical cultures Number of respondents Culture method 17 Interim CDC Recommendations (March 2015) 4 Other methods: (a) Flush-Brush-Flush (Aumeran C, et al. Endoscopy 2010, 42(11):895-9); (b) Clinical Micro Procedures Handbook by HD Isenberg; (c) modified Australian procedure 2 Virginia Mason Protocol 26 Flushed fluid down the channels and cultured fluid 6 Various methods from brushing, swabbing elevator, to flushing channels
