Automated endoscope reprocessing
quality patient care. The traceability, ownership and accountability that the software delivers helps support patient safety and infection prevention. It was developed in close collaboration with endoscopy experts to create a high quality, user-friendly tool that enables you to always execute best practices, and is flexible and configurable to support your workflow needs.
Determine the real-time status and location of your entire endoscope inventory at a glance with the endoscope monitoring dashboard. Know which endoscopes are ready for use, which endoscopes need to be reprocessed, track which endoscopes are out for repair and see trends over time to help you make repair vs. replace decisions. It is also available for sterilisation and surgical departments.

Reducing the risk of infection
Pentax Medical will be demonstrating PlasmaTyphoon, a system designed to reduce the risk of infection by perfectly drying endoscopes. Insufficient drying can be a source for microbial contamination and the transmission of infectious material. The active storage in PlasmaBag allows the storage of endoscopes, preserving the disinfection level already achieved. Inadequate storage can be a source of microbial contamination and transmission. PlasmaTyphoon offers complete drying, quickly and efficiently. While high velocity flow would break fluid, making it more difficult to dry, PlasmaTyphoon uses a combination of different level of flows (laminar and turbulent) and temperature to completely dry endoscopes. After the completion of the drying process, the single-use PlasmaBag comes into play. Plasma, containing ozone molecules, is insufflated into the bag, ensuring the dry and disinfected state of the endoscope is maintained. It allows safe endoscope transportation while, at the same time, reducing the need for repeated reprocessing.

to deliver high-performance disinfectants for medical instruments and surfaces. Tristel RA is a 3-in-1 system for the purification of water entering a EWD. The system doses low concentrations of Tristel chlorine dioxide into the incoming water supply used during an EWD’s decontamination cycle. Tristel RA prevents bacterial proliferation and biofilm formation and protects the washer’s filter and rinse water from contamination. Jet is a powerful sporicidal disinfectant foam that can be used on medical device surfaces located near to the patient. Its cleaning efficacy meets the requirements of a medical instrument cleaner, effectively reducing levels of protein and
