When storing endoscopes post-disinfection and/or sterilization, bacteria pose a significant risk. It is therefore important, especially in the storage and drying phase, to protect the treated endoscopes from possible cross-contamination, from accidental damage, to eliminate humidity from the channels and to control the humidity in the air: in fact, excessive humidity in the air or present inside of the endoscope channels would encourage bacterial growth.

a) Storage: Long-term storage with positive pressure storage for the entire duration of operation, to ensure that there is no infiltration of external air into the storage cabin.
b) Duration: Drying cycle duration is 60 minutes/cycle.
c) Validation: Validated shelf life of 31 days.
d) Attachment: Simple attachment of endoscopes using standard adapters (may vary for each individual endoscope manufacturer) and using a single adapter shared with the GANDY model endoscope washer.
e) Ventilation: Via centrifugal fan with large air flow to ensure continuous air flow throughout the drying period
f) Filtration:
• U17 class ULPA filter with a filtration degree of 0.01 μm absolute validated according to standard regulations for the continuous filtration of the air inside the storage chamber and maintenance of aseptic conditions.
• U17 class ULPA filters with a filtration degree of 0.01 μm absolute validated according to standard regulations for the continuous filtration of the internal flow air of the endoscope (nr. 1 filter per shelf).
• All filters have a long operating life (6 months) validated for continuous 24-hour operation.
i) Storage Capacity: Maximum storage capacity up to 9 ENDOSCOPES can be stored.
