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.
Alternative Solution to Manual Pre-Cleaning of Endoscopes
The AquaTYPHOON™ automated process provides:
Integrated leak‑test
Fast brushless pre-cleaning of all endoscope channels in just 2–7 minutes
External surface cleaning using AquaJET
The system is fully compatible with endoscopes from all major manufacturers.
Full Reliability and Increased Efficiency
As an automated endoscope channels pre-cleaner with built‑in validation and safety features, AquaTYPHOON helps to prevent human errors and makes the endoscope pre-cleaning process standardized, reproducible and fully traceable.
In addition, AquaTYPHOON provides improved ergonomics, and requires less labor and time, thus optimizing the workflow and increasing the efficiency and productivity of the reprocessing unit.
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.
