Widely used throughout Australia in both Public and Private Hospitals, including Endoscopy Clinics and Day Surgeries.

The Soluscope cleaning and high level disinfection process is reproducible and computer controlled, working at an optimized temperature (45°C) and concentration.

The Soluscope Process.
The endoscope is completely immersed throughout the entire cycle. All channels are flushed and irrigated with an optimized flow.

The cycle features:

• Continuous leak test* to prevent any water penetration in the endoscope.
• Precleaning, channels are flushed with air-water pulses to remove any debris in the endoscope after manual brushing.
• Enzyme cleaning and rinse**, Soluscope E is pumped throughout the channels of the endoscope with differing pressures for the suction/biopsy channels and air/water channels. Rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered water.
• Disinfection and rinse***, Soluscope D is pumped throughout the channels of the endoscope. The disinfectant is only used once. There is NO RE-USE OF DISINFECTANT. Rinsed with 0.2 micron filtered water.
• Air Dry, the channels are completely dried with 0.2 micron fitered air

THIS WHOLE PROCESS TAKES ONLY 15 MINUTES!!!

• Alcohol Drying is also available for the final cycle of the day, prior to storage of the endoscope.
• Self disinfection cycle**** at the end of day.
