Storage
CAUTION: To prevent biofilm formation within the endoscope channel it is critical that the scope channels be
thoroughly dried prior to storage.
CAUTION: Care must be taken during handling to prevent contact with other objects and the distal end from
swinging freely. The distal end must be under control at all times.
Note: To ensure the channels are not wet during storage, the use of a “channel-purge” endoscope storage cabinet
(i.e. medical grade filtered air is flushed through every channel) is the preferred method of storage. If this is not
available adequate manual drying using forced air (< 5 psi) must be performed for
at least 10 minutes
prior to
storage.
1. When handling the flexible endoscope, make certain the shaft is loosely coiled to avoid possible damage.
2. Support the flexible endoscope with both hands when holding it.
3. Do not expose flexible endoscopes to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
4. Store the flexible endoscope either in the sterilization tray specific to that flexible endoscope (for EtO or STERRAD
sterilization).
5. For storage of endoscopes post manual or automated HLD or post-SS1E, a channel-purge storage cabinet is
preferred. If a channel-purge storage cabinet is not available, hang the endoscope suspended in the appropriate
KARL STORZ wall rack. Ensure it is absolutely dry before placing in storage (see Note above).
