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.
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.
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.
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.
Françoise Mével, Senior Health Executive, European Hospital Georges Pompidou, Paris, FranceThe AquaTYPHOON automates the pre-cleaning process and enables full traceability. Pre-cleaning endoscopes with the AquaTYPHOON system saves time and improves efficiency. This way, it helps us reduce costs and waste while simplifying the procedures for our staff.
The process fulfills all conditions for an endoscopy unit to engage into an eco-responsible approach, an essential criterion nowadays in the organization of the healthcare services.
In the AquaTYPHOON™, water is introduced in a pulsed manner into the turbulent flow of medical air.
In the endoscope, highly turbulent two‑phase fluid flow creates a strong shear stress that eliminates residues from the channel walls.
Afterwards, the endoscope channel is free of residues.
