Endoscope Storage and Drying Cabinets

MEDISTOR drying and storage cabinets have been designed to offer high-drying efficiency thanks to the vertical positioning of the endoscopes. To speed up the drying process, the vertical position of the flexible parts of the endoscopes allows gravity to facilitate the flow of water and minimize the risk of water accumulating inside the endoscope. To prevent any deterioration in the microbiological quality of stored endoscopes, the cabinet has airtight doors and is ventilated with HEPA filtered air. This ensures a controlled and safe environment. 

MEDISTOR cabinets are equipped with a comprehensive traceability system and channel ventilation. During channel ventilation, airflow follows the direction of gravity, beginning with an initial purge followed by continuous positive pressure ventilation. The endoscope channels are ventilated using a ventilation system equipped with HEPA filters that is independent of the cabinet’s ventilation system.

All MEDISTOR cabinets have been carefully developed to meet and exceed the Public Health Agency of Canada's INFECTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL GUIDELINE for Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Flexible Bronchoscopy.

Single-Row Storage

Single-row storage facilitates endoscope accessibility. Arranged in a straight line, endoscopic instruments are all visible and stored without any contact between the flexible channels suspended vertically in the HEPA air-filtered cabinet. This arrangement of endoscopes minimizes the risk of cross-contamination.

* The dimensions of HEPA-ventilated endoscope storage and drying cabinets can be adapted as required.

Double-Row Storage

Divided into two parallel rows, the ventilated cabinet's interior is optimized for storing and drying a large number of flexible endoscopes in a small space. Molded hooks follow the shape of endoscopic devices to protect their integrity without creating tension. 

* The dimensions of HEPA air-filtered endoscope storage cabinets can be adapted as required.

Storage on Sliding Holders

Endoscope storage on sliding holders offers an ergonomic solution for medical staff. An easily retractable device on which four flexible endoscopes can be suspended with the aid of guides enables safe storage in the HEPA air-filtered cabinet. In addition, endoscopes are stored individually without contact inside vertical storage partitions. To make it easier for users to access the endoscope, the instrument hooks are positioned at an ergonomic height on pull-out rails.
