Reprocessing channel-less endoscopes, TEE probes continue to pose a serious infection risk. Manual pre-cleaning by busy nursing staff and inconsistent training leads to errors. Adhering to strict protocols is difficult, and any lapse increases the chance of hospital-acquired infections. The UV Smart D60 provides a safe and effective solution.
It also overcomes challenges such as long cycle times, chemical exposure, and damage related to transport issues - providing sustainable, safe, fast, and consistent disinfection. In a multi-hospital clinical study, the D60 demonstrated a 10.2% higher rate of endoscopes with zero microorganism colonies compared to using a washer disinfector.1
The D60's rapid 60 second cycle time and chemical-free process reduces pressure on staff, while improving workflow efficiency. CSSD leaders choose the D60, "because of the sustainability factor. It's plug and play. You can put it wherever you want. It's very user-friendly and it's very safe for our staff members."
Built for compliance
Traceability is essential for Infection Prevention teams. The D60 automatically records every disinfection cycle, creating a secure audit trail that supports compliance and inspection readiness. With digital documentation and secure network access, infection control professionals can easily retrieve data, making facilities always ready for audits and reducing administrative burden. This level of transparency helps hospitals meet regulatory standards and reinforces a culture of accountability.
Real-world cost savings
Using the D60 has been proven to reduce costs, a facility in the Netherlands reported saving over £100.000 annually by reducing the need for additional scopes and sheaths. With faster turnaround times, they avoided purchasing extra ENT scopes to meet demand. The gentler UV-C process reduced repairs, cutting maintenance costs by over 30%.
Sustainability matters
The D60 saves water, chemicals, and cuts CO₂ emissions by over 19.180 lbs. This focus on reducing environmental impacts has led to recommendations from ENT UK and Infection Prevention Society.

The D60 empowers clinical teams to deliver safer care, faster. That's why facilities like Royal Sussex County Hospital, Manchester Foundation Trust, and Blackpool Victoria Hospital implemented the D60 into their workflow.
