Where to place an AER in the Endoscopy suite

[The netfefe]

Hi Everyone,

we are renovating our Endoscopy suite for accreditation and none of the literature clearly state where the AER should be placed in the reprocessing room. Is it on the dirty side or on the clean side?

I think it should be on the dirty side of the window, since the scope is just manually clean.

Can anyone share their current practice?

The AER is in the clean room in the hospital I worked at. The scopes are also hung in closets in the clean room.

Since the scope goes in "dirty" and comes out "clean", it really doesn't matter. Place it on the "cleaner" end of the processing room
