Endoscope reprocessing
Endoscope reprocessing
A collaboration between the British companies BES Decon and Tristel has resulted in the development of instant-activation solutions based on a new formulation of Tristel’s unique chlorine dioxide chemistry. The new solution is designed for use in BES Decon’s CISA endoscope reprocessing system (ERS) and provides the option of using Tristel’s established and thoroughly proven chemistry. This environmentally friendly solution delivers broad spectrum and sporicidal activity for rapid and effective endoscope decontamination and efficiently removes the biofilms that can build up within reprocessing systems. The new solution shortens cycle times to as little as 15 minutes, significantly improving instrument turnaround time and maximising endoscope use. The highly cost-effective CISA endoscope reprocessing system protects endoscopes from the open air and thus from potential cross-contamination, from the start of reprocessing right to the point of use with a patient.
