SALEM, Mass. — Salem Hospital warned some patients who may have been exposed to HIV and hepatitis due to incorrectly administered IVs.

The hospital says about 450 endoscopy patients may have been exposed to HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C over a two-year period.

Salem Hospital says the possibility of infection from the incident is “extremely small” and that there are no reported instances of infection yet.

Endoscopy patients are those who undergo any kind of visual imaging on an organ such as a colonoscopy, a cystoscopy and a laryngoscopy.
