Northern Health says about 10,000 patients in Prince George underwent procedures with endoscopes that weren’t property cleaned.
The endoscopes were used over a three-year period between 2012 and Dec 2014 at the University Hospital of Northern B.C.
The procedures included colonoscopies, upper gastric scopes, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) exams
Ronald Chapman, the vice president of medicine with Northern Health said the problem occurred during the pre-cleaning of the instrument.

Extremely tow infection risk
Chapman said improperly cleaned endoscopes could causo hepatitis B and C and HIV infection, but in this caso, the B.C. Centre tor Disease Control has determined that risk of infection is
extremely low.
Between 2012 and last month, there is no evidence a single infection arose from use of the
endoscopes, he said.
Northern Health will be contacting patients who have had one of the procedures during the time frame, and their physicians, to provide them with additional information.
“We would particularly like to apologize for any undue stress, especially… for our patients, he said.
The error did not impact the diagnostic outcome of the tests, he said.
