EW 1 S Series
AERs with OCS - 1 scope capacity
The EW 1 S Series of automatic endoscope reprocessors is designed for low-temperature washing and high-level disinfection/liquid sterilization of endoscopes. Its capacity differs depending on the scopes to reprocess: one flexible or rigid endoscope, up to three broncho/cystoscopes.
The Series’ compact design features motorized hinged door(s), automatically actuated through a proximity sensor for a hands-free instrument loading operation. Its integrated individual channel monitoring system guarantees a higher level of safety by checking the instrument channels’ flow and pressure.
EW 1 S Series’ single door or pass-through versions are also available in a rack configuration: two units installed on top of each other in a unique frame structure. A stainless steel base acts as a storage unit for process chemicals.
Low cycle costs are assured thanks to minimal water, chemicals, and energy consumption.
RFID Hands-Free Process
Our entire endoscope reprocessing platform allows a “hands-free” process thanks to the RFID technology installed in pre-wash units, AERs, and drying cabinets. Traceable identification of operators and scopes is made safe with the touchless use of bracelets or badges. No need to touch a device’s control panel anymore. This reduces potential cross-contamination risks and enhances nurses’ and patients’ safety.
Complete Endoscope Reprocessing Traceability
Our whole range of endoscope reprocessing devices is compatible with SD Ares, the traceability software specially developed for the endoscope reprocessing process. SD Ares software is designed to meet the endoscopy room’s operational requirements by promptly tracking scopes and providing information to maintain safety, efficiency, and high production.
Workflow Solutions
A comprehensive range of solutions to meet the challenges of your reprocessing facilities. Whatever the sizes and layout of your endoscopy department, we help you plan, manage, and optimize the workflow to best ensure efficiency, productivity, and cost-effective operation. With this aim, we do not simply offer endoscope reprocessing devices, but a complete and integrated reprocessing system with carefully-designed accessories.
Dedicated Chemicals
A complete and comprehensive range of endoscopy-formulated process chemicals, ensuring efficient and type-tested performances.
The independently validated results achieved by our endoscope reprocessor range are strictly linked to the use of our dedicated chemistries, which provide cost-effective rapid cycles compliant to ISO 15883-4 and ISO 14937 standards.
Features
Flexibility
Treatment of one standard flexible endoscope, up to two video bronchoscopes/cystoscopes, and up to three fiber bronchoscopes/cystoscopes. Rigid endoscopes can also be reprocessed.
Optimal Cleaning
Optimal cleaning and disinfection performance is achieved thanks to the individual endoscope-channel monitoring system for pressure and flow.
Safety
Process chemicals, their lot number, and expiry date are identified via RFID – a critical safety application to make sure that only validated chemicals will be used in order to comply with ISO 15833-4 requirements.
Compatibility
Dedicated EW 1 S mesh trays are compatible with our ED 200 S series of drying cabinets.
Asynchronous Reprocessing
The rack configuration allows the complete asynchronous reprocessing of endoscopes in two completely independent units.
Full Traceability
Faster endoscope and operator recognition through the barcode reader option. Cycle details can be printed by the built-in thermal printer or alternatively registered in the optional traceability software.
Insights
OCS - One-Time Connection System
Yet another step forward to ensure endoscope reprocessing is fast, error-proof, and bears the minimum risk of cross-contamination: the OCS technology, a one-time connection system shared between pre-cleaning, washing/disinfection, and drying/storage devices. A fast, ergonomic, and user-friendly technology that minimizes operators’ handling of endoscopes during all the phases of the process, significantly decreasing the risk of cross-contamination and the possibility of human error.

Solutions
Endoscope Reprocessing
The safest patient care and infection prevention for endoscopy and CSSDs departments, regardless of their size and application focus. With one of the broadest portfolios for endoscope reprocessing, SteelcoBelimed covers the entire workflow of endoscope reprocessing from pre-cleaning to storage.
Services
Digitalization in Healthcare
The future is smart. Smart systems in CSSDs work flawlessly, informing you well in advance when an error occurs or a repair is needed. Plan your operations with more precision than ever, consequently reducing costs and improve efficiency.
Digitalization also helps track and trace instruments and sets, so to be sure they have been correctly reprocessed inside your CSSD or outside in big reprocessing centers.
Steelco-branded endoscope reprocessors are designed to comply with the European EN ISO 15883-1/4/5 and EN ISO 14937 guidelines on performance, EN ISO 14971, EN 61010-1/2-040, EN IEC 61326-1, EN 62366 guidelines on safety, and EN 62304 guidelines on software design. They are classified CE0051 legacy medical devices (Directive 93/42/EEC, MDD).
