KALAMAZOO, MI — A Kalamazoo-area doctor’s patients are encouraged to seek further medical attention after a complaint about him training his staff to reuse anorectal catheters.
Dr. Roger D. Beyer, owner of Urological Solutions of Michigan and Women’s Health Care Specialists located at 7110 Stadium Drive, performed medical procedures at nursing facilities in West Michigan, according to a news release from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The department received a complaint against Beyer on May 21. A nurse reported that she was trained to reuse a rectal pressure sensor on multiple patients, according to the complaint.
A nurse at Women’s Health Care Specialist estimated that the rectal pressure sensor was used more than 100 times before being replaced, according to the complaint.
MDHHS recommends that patients of Beyer discuss HIV and hepatitis testing with their current healthcare provider, the release said. These bloodborne pathogens can cause disease with little or no symptoms, the release said.
The department has not yet received any reports of disease associated with these practices. The reuse of these tools risk transmission between patients, the release said.
Beyer did not respond to a request for comment. Beyer has provided medical care in the Kalamazoo area for more than 32 years, according to his website.
