Citing numerous reports of infections associated with reprocessed urological endoscopes, the FDA wants providers to pay extra attention to careful cleaning and inspection following use of these devices.
In a Dear Health Care Provider letter dated Thursday, the FDA said it is currently investigating the potential causes and contributing factors associated with the reported infections and contamination issues. While some reports indicate possible inadequate reprocessing or maintenance issues (for example, device failed leak testing) as a potential cause, the FDA is also evaluating other potential issues including reprocessing instructions in the labeling and device design, the letter added.

Dear President Joe Biden,
During your campaign, you promised to follow the science. Well, now s your chance. The recommendations for added sugar in the 2020-2025 USDA dietary guidelines released under the Trump administration follow the sugar industry, the processed food industry, and the money. These recommendations fly in the face of science, and will continue to cause significant harm to American children and adults, with unfortunate health and financial ramifications for years to come.
It is in the best interest of Americans that you amend this decision by reducing the USDA guideline s added sugar quota to less than 6% of total calories, from its current level of 10%, and give Americans a fighting chance at health. Reducing sugar consumption is essential to improving the health and productivity of all Americans.
