GI societies vote no on ANSI/AAMI revisions on endoscopic processing (AGA)

AGA, AASLD, ACG, ASCRS, ASGE, SAGES and SGNA are committed to initiatives focused on eliminating health care-associated infections through improved education about evidence-based practices. While our societies appreciated the opportunity to engage in the discussion around the 2021 revision of ST91 Flexible and semi-rigid endoscope processing in health care facilities, the joint GI societies remain concerned and do not support some of the finalized revisions to the standards and therefore voted negative on vote for approval.
