- L.D. / S.L. / IN / OUT ports, USB and LAN connectivity
The automatic irrigation system brings repeatability to the manual cleaning stage. Instead of repeatedly pushing and pulling a syringe, the device flushes multiple endoscope channels at controlled pressure and flow, then alerts the operator when the cycle is complete.
Why automatic irrigation
Manual flushing depends on operator technique: pressure varies, channels can be missed, and fatigue during peak periods leads to inconsistent cleaning. The automatic irrigator standardizes the step and records the cycle, reducing the risk of human error before disinfection.
Aspect | Traditional manual cleaning | Automatic irrigation |
|---|---|---|
Flushing pressure | Varies by operator | Controlled and repeatable |
Channel coverage | Easy to miss a channel | Simultaneous multi-channel flush |
Cycle time | Operator-dependent | Timer-controlled, minimum 30 seconds |
Process record | Paper / manual | Cycle status and time recorded |
Operator fatigue | High during peak periods | Hands-free operation |
Key functions
- Simultaneous flushing of biopsy, suction and other endoscope channels
- Precise fluid injection with real-time pressure and flow display
- Optional leak test before immersion
- Brushing timer helps enforce the manual brushing step
- Compatible with common cleaning agents and purified water
- Audible and visual completion alerts
- Compact unit for bench-top or wall mounting
Where it fits
The irrigator is designed for the manual cleaning stage in endoscopy centers, CSSD scope rooms and training departments. It is particularly useful for small and medium hospitals that need a consistent manual process without a fully automatic reprocessor, and for peak periods when scope turnaround time is tight.
Connections and control
Front ports provide L.D., S.L., IN and OUT connections. USB and LAN interfaces allow cycle data and software updates. The pressure gauge and flow meter are standard; leak test and alcohol irrigation drying are optional modules.
The irrigator supports the manual cleaning stage and does not replace high-level disinfection. Confirm channel connectors and cleaning chemistry with FulCare before use.
