The next, brushless step in endoscope pre-cleaning<\/strong><\/p>\n

Endoscopy continues to witness a number of important innovations that contribute to even better clinical outcomes. At the same time, there are still significant opportunities for further improving patient safety and infection prevention in the field. Given the constantly changing environment of medical device reprocessing, which is marked by a heightened consciousness of the overall environmental impact of healthcare and endoscopy improving the decontamination of endoscopes has become increasingly critical. Market feedback shows that there is a need for an automated and standardized process to clean endoscopes, to ensure all steps are carried out in a uniform manner.<\/p>\n

Paul Caesar, Head of Hygiene, Infection Control and Reprocessing at PENTAX Medical EMEA, explains: \u201cPENTAX Medical is launching the AquaTYPHOON to do just that. It is a new automated brushless solution for the pre-cleaning of endoscopes. The device was developed by the manufacturer PlasmaBiotics1 and offers an alternative to the manual pre-cleaning step in endoscope reprocessing \u2013 without the need for brushes or detergent \u2013 addressing hygiene and sustainability challenges faced by healthcare providers in daily clinical practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caesar continues: \u201cThe AquaTYPHOON offers a completely standardized, controlled and validated process, thus optimizing the pre-cleaning phase. No steps can be skipped anymore, so the results are more constant. I truly believe this new cutting-edge solution offers more balance between patient safety and staff productivity along with their well-being as the process is automated, lowering the risk of contamination.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
