AquaTYPHOON™: Endoscope Channels Pre-Cleaner
AquaTYPHOON™ is an innovative endoscope channels pre-cleaner enabling automated brushless pre-cleaning of all endoscope channels in only 2 to 7 minutes.
It is a fully sustainable and economical endoscope pre-cleaning solution, because it eliminates the need for single-use brushes and chemicals, and largley reduces water consumption.
All this significantly reduces the costs of this reprocessing step.

Fully Sustainable and Economical Solution
Compared to the manual pre-cleaning, AquaTYPHOON endoscope channels pre-cleaning solution eliminates waste generation (brushes, syringes, detergent, etc) and reduces water consumption. This allows for significantly lower costs and increases sustainability.
AquaTYPHOON Cleaning Process
1. Mixing Air and Water

In the AquaTYPHOON™, water is introduced in a pulsed manner into the turbulent flow of medical air.
2. Turbulent Flow Removes Residues

In the endoscope, highly turbulent two‑phase fluid flow creates a strong shear stress that eliminates residues from the channel walls.
3. Result

Afterwards, the endoscope channel is free of residues.
