How Clean Are Your Endoscopes?
Now You Can KNOW
Have confidence in the efficacy of your endoscope
reprocessing with solutions from Healthmark. The NOW! Test
enables you to check your scopes for gram-negative bacteria.
An easy-to-read fluorometer detects harmful enzymes in 12
hours. To perform random testing of your duodenoscopes in
compliance with CDC guidelines, there's Healthmark's Flexible
Endoscope Sampling Kit. Developed in partnership with Nelson
Laboratories, everything necessary to collect and send a
sample for testing is included. If microorganisms are present,
they will be identified and quantified. Both solutions are part of
Healthmark's ProFormance Cleaning Verification family of
products.

This Easy-To-Use Kit Tells If Scopes Are Clean
Protect patients from cross-contamination with EndoCheck
from Healthmark. This kit allows you to verify the cleanliness
of the scope's biopsy channel. Swab the channel with the kit's
soft-tipped long probe, then clip off the swab into a vial. Mix
in an activating agent and shake the vial vigorously. A color
change indicates the presence of residual soils in the channel,
so you will know the scope needs to be reprocessed. Swabs
are available in sizes from 1.0-5.0 mm.
