Biofilm, an antimicrobial-resistant organism, can develop on surgical
instruments and scopes as a result of constant exposure to wet and
dry phases during usage and reprocessing. Residual biofilm left on
an instrument or scope after cleaning is impervious to high level
disinfectants and can lead to infection of patients.
Once biofilm is formed, getting rid of it is almost impossible. Biofilm
anchors itself to a surface creating a protective environment for
microorganisms to grow.
RUHOF'S BIO-CLEAN TECHNOLOGY is a unique multi-tiered enzymatic
detergent designed to target the insoluble extracellular polymeric layer
that encases the bacteria in biofilm. Dissolving this polysaccharide
layer exposes the bacteria allowing for the complete elimination
of all bioburden and biofilm on semi-critical and critical medical
devices by high level disinfectants or liquid chemical sterilants.
• The only enzymatic detergent on the market clinically tested to
pass ISO 15883 Annex F*.
• Solubilizes polysaccharides during the cleaning process allowing
for high level disinfectants to kill and remove biofilm.
ENDOZIME® BIOCLEAN multi-tiered enzymatic detergent designed to
target and dissolve polysaccharides on medical devices allowing for
the complete removal of all bioburden and biofilm by high level
disinfectants or liquid chemical sterilants.
PREPZYME® with Bio-Clean Technology, pre-cleans inanimate surfaces
where biofilm can hide, thrive, and grow. Prevents adhesion of
bioburden to surgical instruments and scopes.
ENDOZIME® SPONGE with Bio-Clean Technology, pre-cleans scope surface
enabling high level disinfectant to kill and remove biofilm.
ENDOZIME® SLR PHASE ONE Endoscopy Bedside Care Kit and new
ScopeValet™ ECO-BEDSIDE KIT, both with Bio-Clean Technology,
removes synthetic lipids while pre-cleaning scope surface and internal
channels enabling high level disinfectant to kill and remove biofilm.
*ISO/TS 15883-5: 2006 - Washer-disinfectors - Part 5: Test soils and methods
for demonstrating cleaning efficacy - Annex F (normative) Test soil and
method for flexible endoscopes. (Test results available upon request)
