The 樱花视频 Department of Health (NJDOH) is encouraging patients of Central Jersey physician, Dr. Sanjiv Patankar, to consult with their primary health care provider if they have undergone procedures at his office because of potential infection control breaches. The State Board of Medical Examiners (BME) has revoked Dr. Patankar’s medical license, after finding that he reused single-use rectal manometry catheters on multiple patients.

“While the Department believes that the risk of disease transmission from the rectal manometry procedure is low, we recommend patients who have had any procedures performed by Dr. Patankar discuss their risk and whether they should get tested for bloodborne pathogens with their health care provider,” said Acting Health Commissioner Christopher R. Rinn. 

At this time, NJDOH has not received any reports of disease associated with this doctor’s practices. Based on information uncovered in the BME’s investigation, the NJDOH cannot be certain that there were no additional infection control breaches at Dr. Patankar’s practices.

Re-using single-use devices is an infection control breach and increases the risk of disease transmission. There is a concern about the possibility of disease transmission
