Helping central service and sterile process departments fight Hospital
Acquired Infections (HAI) with the best borescope to inspect medical
devices and endoscope lumens visually.
Bronchoscope
Reprocessing
Bronchoscopes have tiny lumens and ports that may retain biofilm, residue, debris, and hidden instrument damage. The Endoinspect is the best way see inside these small spaces and detect potential sources of infection.
EL-V12120 Endoinspect
- 1.2mm diameter borescope
- 1200mm probe length
- Perfect for visual inspection of ports and channels found on brochoscopes
- Highest resolution will quickly help identify residue, scratches, damage, and biofilm you can not see without a borescope
Bronchoscopes still dirty after cleaning
study at three large hospitals
“All of the bronchoscopes had visible irregularities, including retained fluid; brown, red, or oily residue; scratches; damaged insertion tubes and distal ends; and filamentous debris in channels.”
Reprocessing Study
"...Inside of the bronchoscopes were Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which is a water-borne pathogen that tends to be carbapenem-resistant, and Escherichia coli, Shigellaspecies, which causes dysentery."
What Endoinspect will find
Looked at the bronchoscopes with magnification on the outside, and used borescopes to examine the inside... 100% still dirty"

Best Practices
Visual examination of a bronchoscope should be part of reprocessing. It is impossible to see inside tiny lumens, channels, and ports without a borescope.

Reprocessing Study
Inside the cannulas and arthroscopic shavers, the video camera made startling finds. Human tissue and bone were stuck in both devices. The camera also discovered a bristle from a cleaning brush in an arthroscopic shaver.
