Scope-Store SE

The new Scope-Store SE from LTE Scientific

Our Scope-Store SE models provide a manually controlled, cost-effective and efficient solution for the filtered air storage of endoscopes.

Double Filtration System – Each endoscope position is provided with its own dedicated medical air pump, ensuring that the endoscope channels are constantly purged with 0.2µ sterile air when switched on, whilst the exterior surfaces of the endoscope receive a continual feed of HEPA filtered air which constantly flushes the interior of the cabinet and maintains it under positive pressure. These conditions help inhibit the growth of such micro-organisms as Pseudomonas sp. and Acineterbacter sp. Microbiology tests have shown 0cfu growth in surrogate devices over a 72hr period. As a further protection against cross-contamination, the Scope-Store SE cabinet is finished with LTE’s ‘Sterling’ Antibacterial epoxy powder coating both inside and outside.

Manual Controls – Each Scope position has a corresponding push-button on the front of the cabinet. Once the scope has been connected, you simply press the push-button, which when lit will deliver filtered air to the channels via its own medical air pump.

Security – Unlike many competitive cabinets which rely on keys to gain entry to the cabinet or have no lock at all, access to the Scope-Store SE is via a security PIN keypad.

Cost Effective – Endoscopes stored in the open normally have to be re-processed after only 3 hours (BSG guidelines). Thus the ability to store endoscopes for up to extended periods in the Scope-Store SE will greatly improve efficiency and reduce reprocessing costs.

Specifications and Ordering Information

Option & Accessories

A number of useful options are available which will further enhance your Scope-Store.

Internal Data Archiving stores the operational details of up to 5000 scope cycles onto a flash card. All information is checksum protected to prevent unauthorised tampering with scope data.

Our Sentinel Independent Monitoring System will provide a truly independent record of each scope cycle, recording such data as the cabinets temperature, flow-rate through the scopes, filter pressure differential, as well as automatically copying scope ID data from the control system. In addition, the Sentinel IMS can also be linked to Sentinels Endoscope Management Application software which monitors both AER’s and drying cabinets to provide a full record of the endoscopes washing and drying procedures.

For ease of accurate scope identification, a Bar Code Reader option can be specified which will scan each scope into and out of the cabinet, accurately recording the scope ID.
