Endoscope drying and storage cabinets

Endoscope drying and storage cabinets provide a controlled environment where decontaminated endoscopes can be stored safely without being re-contaminated. Thorough drying following reprocessing is crucial to prevent bacterial growth and potential transmission of infections to patients. Regular monitoring is required to test the cabinet environment for fungal, bacterial count and total viable count.

We provide sample kits for drying and storage cabinets to healthcare advanced customers with all necessary consumables.

Surface contact plates

The efficacy of the cleaning and disinfection of the internal surfaces of the storage cabinet chambers is verified by determining the contamination levels inside the chamber using contact plates.

Sterile surrogate endoscope devices

Sterile surrogates are made to client specifications and installed in the cabinets. They are removed after the maximum storage period and tested to check that the cabinet can maintain the microbiological integrity of the endoscopes intended to be stored inside.

Air plates

Airborne microbial contamination is evaluated using either active sampling air plates or sedimentation plates.
