Miami VA Comments on Contamination

Miami VA: Steps taken to prevent contamination 05/12/09. Mary D. Berrocal, director of the Miami VA Healthcare System, told The Associated Press she has hired someone in Miami to supervise training, make sure biomedical equipment works properly there and ensure the problems aren't repeated. "We have truly scrutinized our systems to ensure that doesn't happen," she said. "We truly, truly are on it ... We've really, really, really expended every effort possible to make sure that this is an isolated situation." But she declined to discuss specifics about the contamination problems or say how they went undetected for so long. Associated Press via PhysOrg.com
