Automated Pre-Treatment for Flexible Endoscopes

The earliest steps in reprocessing are the easiest to rush, forget, or perform differently from person to person. Automated pre-treatment for flexible endoscopes standardizes execution across shifts, reduces skipped steps, and creates a controlled baseline for safer, more predictable reprocessing. At UltraZonic, we have designed a solution that guides your team through a repeatable pre-treatment routine and documents critical actions.

Why Automated Pre-Treatment for Flexible Endoscopes Matters

Automated pre-treatment for flexible endoscopes is used to control the most variable part of cleaning medical instruments: the time-sensitive minutes after a procedure, when residues can dry inside lumens, valves, and connectors. If early handling and flushing/brushing are inconsistent, downstream disinfection becomes less predictable and reprocessing exceptions increase. Standardizing the pre-treatment stage supports routine control of infections within endoscopy by keeping the earliest steps repeatable and reducing avoidable variation before validated high-level disinfection and drying.

ENDO: Automated, Traceable Pre-Treatment

ENDO is designed as an endoscopy cleaning device that automates pre-treatment actions for flexible endoscopes while supporting throughput and documentation requirements in daily reprocessing. It functions as a rapid cleaning technology by reducing delays and structuring early actions that are otherwise highly operator dependent. Key characteristics include:

  • Automatically executes and tracks the full pre-treatment procedure for flexible endoscopes.
  • Includes controlled channel flushing and a standardized brushing sequence.
  • Cleans multiple endoscopes simultaneously to support higher throughput.
  • Built-in track-and-trace links each procedure to the scope and cycle history for documentation.
  • Integrated camera captures the brushing step as the only manual intervention for review.

ENDO Operation: Structured Steps Before Downstream Disinfection

In routine use, ENDO organizes pre-treatment for flexible endoscopes into a defined sequence that prepares channels for the next high-level disinfection stage. The process can be described as:

  1. Leak check before the scope enters any fluid handling. If it does not pass, the procedure is stopped to prevent internal damage.
  2. First flush across channels using detergent and defined exposure conditions to reduce initial soil load and clean biofilm.
  3. Brushing is video recorded to evidence completion while supporting effective debris removal with reduced scratch risk.
  4. Final clearance flush removes loosened residues and leaves channels ready for the next disinfection stage.

Contact Us to Improve Consistency and Traceability

Automated pre-treatment for flexible endoscopes strengthens reprocessing consistency by stabilizing the earliest, most time-sensitive steps before downstream high-level disinfection. By reducing operator-dependent variation and supporting traceable execution, departments can protect workflow predictability, support patient safety, and reinforce disciplined routines across related workflows.
