Borescopes for Endoscope Reprocessing

Visual Inspection Borescopes for Endoscope Reprocessing and medical devices:

These small diameter (less than 3mm) borescopes or inspection cameras can be used to inspect endoscope's internal working channels during reprocessing and other medical devices with small and narrow lumen channels . It is imperative to do visual inspection during endoscope reprocessing to make sure high quality cleanness and safety. The external of endoscopes can be inspected with optical magnifiers or video magnifiers/microscopes. The internal of endoscopes needs a small diameter borescope inspection camera for careful examination. 

Common problems of the internal channels during endoscope (gastroscopes, colonoscopes, duodenoscopes, and  echoendoscopes) reprocessing 

• corrosion
• crack and scratches
• physical damages
• debris
• discoloration
• moisture
• foreign objects like fiber, lint, brush bristles and particles
