Enzyme Endoscope Cleaners
Endoscope Cleaners must deliver these 4 enzymes or they cannot break down and remove all forms of proteinaceous bioburden from surgical instruments.
The all-in-ONE Endoscope Cleaner 4 Enzyme Detergent delivers:
Protease, Amylase, Lipase, and Carbohydrase surgical instrument cleaning enzymes.
The 4 enzymes needed for high performance surgical instrument cleaners are listed below with the specific surgical instrument cleaning function they perform.
Lipase Enzyme Endoscope Cleaners: to breakdown fat from surgical instruments, to cleave fatty acid residue from the glycerol residue in a neutral fat or a phospholipid.
Amylase Enzyme Endoscope Cleaners: to breakdown starch from surgical instruments, to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch to sugar to produce carbohydrate derivatives.
Carbohydrase Enzyme Endoscope Cleaners: to breakdown starch to a lower level from surgical instruments, to catalyze the hydrolysis of higher carbohydrates to lower forms
Protease Enzyme Endoscope Cleaners: to breakdown blood from surgical instruments, including the proteinases and peptidases, to catalyze the hydrolytic breakdown of proteins.
Endoscope Neutral pH Cleaners cleaning Surgical Instruments cleaner and cleaning Endoscopes fast. Free rinsing to deliver a residue free surface. The all-in-ONE 4 Enzyme Detergents will lower cleaning costs, replace multiple cleaning products for reprocessing Surgical Instruments and Endoscopes.
The DS500 DRS Automated Endoscope and Surgical Instrument Washer delivers an endoscope cleaning and disinfecting process that disinfects the endoscope cleaning water. The Automated Endoscope Washer then injects a 4 Enzyme Surgical Instrument Detergent for removing pathogens and proteinaceous bioburden. The Endoscope cleaner water reaches disinfecting times and temperatures. For disinfecting temperature sensitive scopes and endoscopes the disinfecting water is cooled to the manufacturers recommended temperatures. Surgical Instrument Washer offers a 9 minute wash and hold cycle. yourCEBA Surgical Instrument Washers offer gentle cycles for cleaning eye surgical instruments and cleaning MIS Instruments effectively.

Flexible and Rigid Scopes - Cleaning, Disinfecting and Sterilizing
Cleaning Endoscopes and Cleaning Temperature Sensitive Scopes
Articles have been published worldwide regarding the complexity of manually cleaning endoscopes and the related concerns. Automated cleaning and "combination" all-in-ONE enzymatic-detergent-complex cleaning concentrates can provide valuable alternatives and have demonstrated superior outcomes. The new developments, in automated scope cleaning and all-in-ONE cleaning concentrates, can improve scope performance, and protect endoscopes from damage, while reducing the risks and costs associated with manually cleaning endoscopes.
These developments have shown an increase in safety and have demonstrated a decreased risk of nosocomial infections. Endoscope manufacturers have focused on improving the functionality and clinical performance of scopes while manufacturers of washer decontaminators and washer disinfectors have focused on improving the automation of cleaning endoscopes. One main issue still remains and ongoing concern... human error. The most common human errors occur during the manual cleaning of endoscopes and when flexible endoscopes are connected to automated endoscope re-processors (AERs). These errors occur in endoscope departments worldwide and have not been correlated to specific endoscopes or re-processors. Validation of these endoscope cleaning methods and operations may be written down in Standard Operation Procedures (SOP‘s) but in fact, the verification on how close these procedures are followed may be quite difficult.
Product improvements by endoscope manufacturers require ongoing changes to cleaning protocols and present new challenges to the reprocessing staff as well as the manufacturers of automated endoscope washers. These ongoing changes require an ongoing review of the cleaning endoscope sterilization protocols. Reprocessing departments contend with daily shortages of flexible endoscopes that are ready to use and frequently experience FTE levels that are inadequate for manual cleaning. These factors may lead to endoscopes not being properly cleaned according to manufacturers or association recommendations. It has been found, that when a reprocessing staff is pressured for increasing the turnaround rate, cleaning endoscopes may not be given the high priority necessary, due to the assumption that the sterilization to follow will provide a medical device that is safe for patient care. If an endoscope is not thoroughly cleaned, the endoscope cannot be sterilized. The Proper cleaning of endoscopes is the prerequisite for sterilization.
ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standards:
Surgical Instrument Washers designed within the ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standards for Surgical Instrument Washers, Washer Decontaminators, and Washer Disinfectors will deliver the optimal cleaning of Endoscopes and temperature sensitive flexible Scopes.
Surgical Instrument Washers designed within the ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standards help to totally eliminate the need for the manual cleaning of endoscopes and significantly reduces the risk for patients. ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standards closes the link between Endoscope cleaning/disinfection and sterilization and greatly reduces many human error problems. Surgical Instrument Washers and Endoscope designed within the ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standards are available either as standalone unit or integrated washers. The ergo-Logistics Surgical Instrument Washers and Endoscope Washers are designed within the ISO/DIS 15883-1 Standard.

Studies demonstrate a Surgical Instrument Washer can deliver optimal cleaning using the "proper sequence of treatments" and 'combination' enzyme detergent surgical instrument cleaners. After surgical instruments were cleaned in a Surgical Instrument using a combination of enzyme detergent surgical instrument cleaner:
"evaluation of Surgical Instrument Washer confirmed that the efficacy of disinfection was 100%". "All surgical instruments and utensils tested were sterile at the completion of the process."

The Surgical Instrument Washers with automated Ultrasonic surgical instrument Cleaning used in this research study were manufactured by CESCO, Mercersburg PA. Although these Surgical Instrument Washers with automated Ultrasonic surgical instrument Cleaners are not currently available. The studies demonstrate the propensity for Surgical Instrument Washers with automated Ultrasonic surgical instrument Cleaners to deliver optimal cleaning results.
The surgical instrument cleaners used in these studies are currently available in the form of the all-in-ONE combination enzymatic enzyme detergent surgical instrument cleaner. A critical component for optimal cleaning is using the best possible "surgical instrument cleaners". Recent European studies have illustrated and concluded that combination enzymatic enzyme detergent surgical instrument cleaners are more effective than a conventional surgical instrument cleaner. The research was initiated to deactivate prions deactivating prions within the objective to prevent CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease).
