Endoscope cleaning

Cleaning is the critical step in endoscopes reprocessing. Endoscope cleaning consists of the mechanical cleaning of internal and external surfaces. This includes brushing and flushing of internal channels with sterile, filtered or drinking-quality water and detergent. The purpose of cleaning is to remove all inorganic and organic material from the internal and external surfaces of flexible endoscopes.

If the manual cleaning, brushing and rinsing steps are not properly carried out, protein debris can harden and lead to formation of biofilm on the biopsy channel of the endoscope. Inadequate cleaning can thus result in material remaining on the endoscope surfaces which prevents disinfection and sterilization fluids or gases reaching all parts of potentially contaminated surfaces.

The endoscope should be cleaned with an enzymatic detergent immediately after use and before manual or automated disinfection.

We have chosen the best available quality of enzymes on the market for our enzymatic cleaners NOSOZYM and NOSOZYM 6 PLUS. Highly stabilized, their activity last longer than any other.

NOSOZYM and NOSOZYM 6 PLUS are compatible with all major brands of endoscopes and approved by PENTAX MEDICAL®
