Acquired Infections (HAI) with the best borescope to inspect medical
devices and endoscope lumens visually.
Fiberscopes:
Video Borescopes:
Cystoscopes may be rigid or flexible. Both have very small lumens and channels that need to be visually inspected
after cleaning. The Endoinspect is the best borescope
to detect biofilm and other unwanted material
that may remain after cleaning.
“…according to a Johns Hopkins and McKinsey & Co. investigation in the current issue of the medical journal Gut. An estimated 15,000 to 25,000 patients a year are getting infected from dirty scopes. The scope â a tube with a camera and light on the end â is complicated to clean.”
“…an average of 15 percent of flexible endoscopes used to examine GI tracts and colons at five hospitals were harboring “bio-dirt”âcells and other material from previously examined patients. This was even after the instruments had been cleaned.”
The discovery of dirty endoscopes has previously led hospitals to issue alarming warnings to thousands of endoscopy patients that they should be tested for diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B and C
âTools such as video borescopes of an appropriate dimension (length and diameter) may be used to
visually inspect the internal channels of some medical devices.â
Lumens pose
a cleaning challenge because of their narrow structure that prevents visualization during the cleaning;
therefore, it is important to always check lumens for cleanliness after cleaning. Visual inspection of
lumens can be accomplished using a borescope
