patient safety

The prevention of cross-contamination is a growing topic of concern

in Endoscopy units today. As a leader in infection control and

endoscope accessories, US Endoscopy understands the importance of

limiting these potential risks to ensure safety for both patients and staff.

From biopsy valves to cleaning brushes, US Endoscopy’s extensive

endoscope care and accessories portfolio features a variety

of single-use solutions to help minimize contamination concerns and

support compliance with Infection Control Guidelines.

Infection prevention and control are required to help prevent the transmission of diseases from patient to patient by contaminated equipment and from patients to staff. Research shows that endoscopes are often the devices associated with infection outbreaks.*

Additional procedural risks can include the introduction of pathogens or cross-contamination between patients such as:

Bacterial cells(Pseudomonas)

Bacterial cells(CRE)

Viral cells (Hepatitis B)

What is Infection Control?

*ANSI/AAMI ST91: 2015 Flexible and semi-rigid endoscope processing in health care facilities.

How can this risk be minimized?

Adherence to industry reprocessing guidelines

Continuous awareness and education

Use of disposable accessories

Quality control measures

Standardization of products and procedures

The US Endoscopy cleaning brush line includes an array of single-use brushes that feature key elements needed for proper care of delicate endoscopes. From every day to specialty cleaning needs, we have a solution for you.

Cleaning Brushes

The Society of Gastroenterology Nurses & Associates (SGNA) states that manual cleaning of endoscopes is the most important step in removing the microbial burden from an endoscope. *

• provide consistent performance – use a new kit for each procedure.

• help minimize tracking concerns in an infection outbreak*.

• support adherence to industry guidelines.

The new single-use BioGuard® air/water & suction valves and kits offer an alternative option to manual cleaning and reprocessing and help minimize cross-contamination risks between patients.

…Literature suggests that reusable buttons and valves be reprocessed and stored together with the endoscope as a unique set for tracking purposes. *

BioShield® biopsy valves Research has proven that it is nearly impossible to manually clean, disinfect, flush and dry biopsy valves.1 Our line of BioShield® biopsy valves and irrigation accessories are single-use, offering protection for patients and staff.

• help reduce the possibility of cross-contamination between patients.

• small valve size and easy device passage offer exceptional functionality during usage.

AquaShield® water bottle system There is limited research available on proper cleaning and reprocessing of water bottles. This often leads to confusion on what proper sterilization procedures to follow and can cause improper cleaning practices. The disposable AquaShield® water bottle system eliminates reprocessing and allows you to proactively protect your patients.

Waterborne infections in health care have been traced to the tap water supply (Dickey, 2014), as well as the improper reprocessing of water bottles and endoscopic accessories (Beilenhoff et al., 2008; Kovaleva, Peters, van der Mei, & Degner, 2013). *

”* SGNA Position Statement. “Reprocessing of Water Bottles Used During Endoscopy”: May 2011

• includes a water bottle cap, tubing and connector, and 24-hour red sticker.

• allows clinicians to use either CO2 or room air insufflation.

• helps save you time and cost associated with reusable systems.

Torrent® irrigation systemThe risks of cross-contamination can be minimized with the single-use Torrent® scope connector and 24-hour use Torrent® irrigation tubing. The single-use Torrent® scope connector features a one-way valve to help prevent the possibility of body fluid backflow into the irrigation system.
