Revolutionising Endoscope Cleaning: Ensuring Superior Hygiene and Safety

Advanced Flexible Endoscope Cleaning

The challenge of cleaning flexible endoscopes has long been due to the difficulty of inspecting their internal lumens. 

Key Infection Types:

• Endogenous Infections: From the patient’s own microbial flora.
• Exogenous Infections: Caused by inadequately reprocessed equipment, often due to human error during cleaning.
• Innovative Cleaning Brushes: Traditional brushes may miss debris in endoscopes. Guidelines recommend brushes tailored to specific lumen sizes to ensure thorough cleaning, reducing the risk of infection.

Adhering to the latest health guidelines and using flexible inspection systems can significantly reduce infection rates and improve patient outcomes.
