The Scope-Store cabinet, from LTE SCIENTIFIC, dries and stores reprocessed endoscopes for up to 14 days.
The easy to use touchscreen control system provides full traceability of the endoscope along with full user details and a print-out provides full cycle data, including air-flow, total volume, user ID and status. Optionally, temperature and RH can also be monitored and printed for each cycle. The cabinet is available in 5, 8 and 10- scope vertical hanging and shelf-loaded variations and a range of ENT storage cabinets are also available. The company’s new ECS-1 endoscope cleaning station is said to enable staff to pre-clean endoscopes in a safe, effective and reproducible manner, increasing productivity with reduced crosscontamination risk. The automated system ensures that every scope goes through a consistent pre-cleaning process, allowing staff to clean scopes with assured accuracy and compliance. The ergonomic design of the system helps to overcome occupational health concerns, and the touchscreen controller has an automated menu driven process. The easy to operate, ECS-1 is said to increase productivity around the reprocessing room when the cleaning station is running, as just one staff member can effectively run two cleaning stations. Cost benefits are achieved through staff efficiencies, better management of consumables, and improved productivity.
