Warm sterile air is used to blow through each internal channel and over all surfaces to rapidly dry both the inside and outside of the flexible endoscopes while they are in the cabinet. This ensures that endoscopes are well ventilated at all times.
The endoscope internal channels are connected to the drying circuit through specific quick connectors.
Up to 8 endoscopes can be stored at a time in cassettes or in baskets with lower trays for water dripping.
The process allows the storage of endoscopes up to 72 hours after full washing and reprocessing with no need to reprocess them again.
Steelco ED drying cabinets can be fitted with a bar code reader and printer for logging scopes in and out ensuring full tracking and traceability of the scopes.
The Steelco ED200 cabinet utilises the C961 Removable mesh basket which is utilised by the C256 Transport Trolley and the C559 two level wash cart for the EW2.
Storage for large endoscopy centres
Endoscope storage is a big issue for large endoscopy centres with high instrument throughput. Storage space saving techniques is a must.
The Steelco ED200 can be configured in a more compact frame that combines two devices into a single unit with central control module. In an installation width of only 1672 mm / 65.82”, up to 16 flexible endoscopes can be simultaneously dried and stored.
Compared to conventional vertical storage the horizontal storage capacity is increased significantly and material damage caused by “stretching” of the endoscope external surface is avoided.
