Authors' recommendations:
All publications stress the critical importance of strictly adhering to the instrument reprocessing protocols to ensure successful decontamination and to prevent the risk of patient-to-patient transmission of infections through the use of medical devices. Cleaning is recommended, even when sheaths have been used. Furthermore, some organizations recommend keeping a disinfection logbook to ensure traceability in the event of an incident.
