Acquired Infections (HAI) with the best borescope to inspect medical
devices and endoscope lumens visually.
Duodenoscope
Reprocessing
Duodenoscopes are complicated medical devices with side viewing cameras. These scopes have a difficult to clean the elevator mechanism that requires manual cleaning. Cleaning should include brushing and flushing both sides of the elevator and careful visual inspection. Use the EndoInspect borescope to visually inspect duodenoscope during reprocessing to see inside the lumen and elevator
"Duodenoscopes are a type of endoscope that allows doctors to view the top of a patient's small intestine or duodenum."
EI-V20190 Endoinspect
- 2.0mm diameter
- 1900mm length
- Easily inspect longer lumens and elevator mechanism found on duodenoscopes.
- High-Resolution Video borescope camera Detects biofilm remaining after cleaning.
Contaminated Duodenscopes
linked to 3 deaths, 45 infections
“An FDA analysis of medical device reports received between Oct. 15, 2018 and March 31, 2019 found three reports of death, 45 reports of patient infection and 159 reports of device contamination tied to inadequate reprocessing of duodenoscopes…”
Borescope Examination
"Multiple society and manufacturer recommendations have outlined the importance of meticulous stepwise re- processing, with emphasis on adequacy of precleaning and washing and on visual inspection to identify endo- scope damage and verify reprocessing efficacy."
What You See
"...borescope examination of 20 patient-ready en- doscopes after drying and overnight vertical storage re- vealed various findings, including discoloration, scratches, and filaments of debris involving the channel."
