Integration of Endoscope Reprocessing in CSSD
Endoscopy requires a level of safety similar to that of a CSSD; therefore, the long-term aim is to align endoscopy reprocessing standards to those of a CSSD, with an ultimate integration of sterilization and traceability. The centralization of endoscopy reprocessing departments indeed boosts hospital efficiency while benefitting from synergies in personnel training and availability: this results in a great advantage when planning for future developments in order to better cope with expansions.
Gastroenterology
The increasing number of screening and prevention programs demand hospitals to be able to improve the safety and throughput of endoscope reprocessing. We developed cutting-edge solutions for the high-level disinfection and liquid sterilization of endoscopes used in this application (gastroscopes, colonoscopes, duodenoscopes, ultrasound endoscopes, etc.).
Urology and Gynaecology
Cystoscopes allow the intervention in the urinary tract. Our dedicated solutions allow for the high-level disinfection, liquid sterilization, and terminal low-temperature sterilization of cystoscopes.
Pneumology
Bronchoscopes allow fast and minimally-invasive procedures in the respiratory tract. Our dedicated solutions allow for the high-level disinfection, liquid sterilization, and terminal low-temperature sterilization of bronchoscopes.
ENT
Despite being less complex than GI endoscopes, the reprocessing of ENT endoscopes is moving towards the same standards used in gastroenterology. We developed dedicated solutions allowing the high-level disinfection, liquid sterilization, and terminal low-temperature sterilization of ENT endoscopes.
Cardiology
TEE probes are very delicate ultrasound devices used to make detailed pictures of the heart and the arteries. Traditional manual reprocessing protocols for TEE probes do not provide optimum hygienic standards. To improve reprocessing safety and hygienic standards we developed dedicated solutions for the high-level disinfection of TEE probes.
Workflow Optimization
Centralization of endoscopy reprocessing departments indeed ensures safe and adequate workflows with a clear separation of dirty and clean areas to prevent the environmental recontamination of endoscopes. Hospitals can benefit from workflow differentiations with the possibility to integrate sterilization on the basis of each specific endoscope application (gastroenterology, urology, pneumology etc…).
High Throughput
Increased productivity as a result of bigger and adequate spaces combined with a focus on flexibility thanks to dedicated single scope devices to tackle urgencies as well as high-capacity ones to treat up to 3 standard endoscopes or up to 9 fiberbronchoscopes or cystoscopes in the same unit.

Instrument Traceability
Tracing instruments throughout their life in hospitals – from use on patients to reprocessing in the CSSD or in external reprocessing centers to the next use on patients – is fundamental to patient safety.
Our SmartHub pieces of software provide you with the tools you need to track and document the history, location, and use of your medical devices throughout their lifecycle.
