1 endoscope care and accessories featuring our infection control products

2 patient safety The prevention of cross-contamination is a growing topic of concern in Endoscopy units today. As a leader in infection control and endoscope accessories, US Endoscopy understands the importance of limiting these potential risks to ensure safety for both patients and staff. From biopsy valves to cleaning brushes, US Endoscopy s extensive endoscope care and accessories portfolio features a variety of single-use solutions to help minimize contamination concerns and support compliance with Infection Control Guidelines.

3 What is Infection Control? Infection prevention and control are required to help prevent the transmission of diseases from patient to patient by contaminated equipment and from patients to staff. Research shows that endoscopes are often the devices associated with infection outbreaks.* Additional procedural risks can include the introduction of pathogens or cross-contamination between patients such as: Bacterial cells (Pseudomonas) Bacterial cells (CRE) Viral cells (Hepatitis B) *ANSI/AAMI ST91: 2015 Flexible and semi-rigid endoscope processing in health care facilities.

4 How can this risk be minimized? Adherence to industry reprocessing guidelines Continuous awareness and education Quality control measures Use of disposable accessories Standardization of products and procedures

5 Cleaning Brushes The US Endoscopy cleaning brush line includes an array of single-use brushes that feature key elements needed for proper care of delicate endoscopes. From every day to specialty cleaning needs, we have a solution for you. A few of our featured brushes include DuoSwift combination squeegee brush combines the cleaning benefits of a bristled brush and squeegee into one device. Double-Header combination cleaning brush all-in-one brush features a channel brush at one end, and our premium valve/control head brush at the other. Small Wonder channel brush designed for brushing in narrow scope channels. The Society of Gastroenterology Nurses & Associates (SGNA) states that manual cleaning of endoscopes is the most important step in removing the microbial burden from an endoscope. * *Standards of Infection Control in Reprocessing of Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscopes (SGNA 2016)

6 BioGuard air/water & suction valves/kits The new single-use BioGuard air/water & suction valves and kits offer an alternative option to manual cleaning and reprocessing and help minimize cross-contamination risks between patients. 2-piece kit 3-piece kit 4-piece kit The BioGuard air/water & suction valves and kits provide consistent performance use a new kit for each procedure. help minimize tracking concerns in an infection outbreak*. support adherence to industry guidelines. Literature suggests that reusable buttons and valves be reprocessed and stored together with the endoscope as a unique set for tracking purposes. * *Standards of Infection Control in Reprocessing of Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscopes (SGNA 2016).

7 BioShield biopsy valves Research has proven that it is nearly impossible to manually clean, disinfect, flush and dry biopsy valves. 1 Our line of BioShield biopsy valves and irrigation accessories are single-use, offering protection for patients and staff. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Contamination Contamination in nooks and crannies of valve Results from study show wear and damage to valve structure, contamination on the outer edges and within the nooks and crannies of the valves. 2 The BioShield biopsy valves help reduce the possibility of cross-contamination between patients. small valve size and easy device passage offer exceptional functionality during usage. Download a recent white paper, Minimizing Patient Risk With Single-use Biopsy Valves at: 1,2 Figure 1-2 taken from David M. Parente, Parente, BS, BA, MBA, Could Biopsy Port Valves be a Source for Potential Flexible Endoscope Contamination, Infection Control Today, Volume 11, No. 6, (June 2007).

8 AquaShield water bottle system There is limited research available on proper cleaning and reprocessing of water bottles. This often leads to confusion on what proper sterilization procedures to follow and can cause improper cleaning practices. The disposable AquaShield water bottle system eliminates reprocessing and allows you to proactively protect your patients. The AquaShield water bottle system includes a water bottle cap, tubing and connector, and 24-hour red sticker. allows clinicians to use either CO 2 or room air insufflation. helps save you time and cost associated with reusable systems. Waterborne infections in health care have been traced to the tap water supply (Dickey, 2014), as well as the improper reprocessing of water bottles and endoscopic accessories (Beilenhoff et al., 2008; Kovaleva, Peters, van der Mei, & Degner, 2013). * * SGNA Position Statement. Reprocessing of Water Bottles Used During Endoscopy : May 2011

9 Torrent irrigation system The risks of cross-contamination can be minimized with the single-use Torrent scope connector and 24-hour use Torrent irrigation tubing. The single-use Torrent scope connector features a one-way valve to help prevent the possibility of body fluid backflow into the irrigation system. The Torrent irrigation system offers a single-use scope connector with a one-way luer-lock valve to help eliminate backflow. features 24-hour use irrigation tubing use for the day then throw it away. includes a 24-hour red sticker to help identify date and time of setup. irrigation system The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released an updated Guidance Document which recommends that scope connectors be discarded after every patient use. * Torrent scope connector for PENTAX scopes Torrent scope connector for Olympus scopes *Guidance For Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: Mitigating the Risk of Cross-Contamination from Valves and Accessories Used for Irrigation through Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscope November
