Dry scopes before you hang them.
The use of forced
medical grade air to aid the drying process of endoscopes is
essential for reducing
microbiological
growth. Today, there
are drying cabinets that
provide a filtered,
warm medical grade
air delivery system that
aids in the removal of
moisture from the
internal channels of the
endoscope, says Ms.
Bush. Drying endo-
scopes is a must —
moisture in the internal
channels of the endo-
scopes could let micro-
bial growth thrive. Dry
your scopes before you
hang them with an
appropriate air hose or
in a cabinet during
storage.
