Valves for endoscopes
Endoscope valves are complex instruments with a large number of components. It is important to thoroughly clean the parts before use to avoid transmission of bacteria and other pathogens. Fortunately, many single-use disposable endoscope valves are available on the market. Unlike reusable valves, single-use ones have no wear and tear, so they have a predictable efficacy during an endoscopic procedure. Nonetheless, there is some controversy regarding the safety and efficacy of re-usable and single-use valves.
Some endoscope valves are single-use, so they must be sterilized after use. ValveSafe is a reusable solution, but it requires a single-use reprocessing process. It features an integrated opening for the air/water adaptor chain and a wide-open design that allows disinfectants to easily penetrate the valve and reduce cross-contamination. There are two main types of endoscope valves, and both are made of plastic.
Endoscope valves should never touch the floor or be stored on the floor. The valves and attachments should be transported in a sterile container. When the scope is not in use, it should be returned to the reprocessing department in a covered device. In addition, it is imperative to re-process the valves after each endoscopic procedure. You should also make sure that the endoscope is kept clean after each use.
The endoscope's channels should be clean and lint-free before being used on a patient. After using alcohol, the valve should be completely dried out. Failure to do so can leave residual water in the channels, increasing infection risks. After the procedure, you should wipe down the endoscope with a sterile lint-free cloth. Once the cleaning process is complete, you can use it on another patient.
A single-use endoscope is not supposed to be reused. It should only be used once, but the reprocessing process should be thorough. The valves are a part of the endoscope that can cause a leak. They must be cleaned properly to avoid spreading bacteria and other pathogens. Moreover, it must be clean to avoid cross-contamination of the contaminated parts. The valves must be disinfected before each use.
The current standard of reprocessing endoscopes is based on disinfection. The reprocessing process is difficult to trace and prevents infection. Using an antibacterial solution is necessary to disinfect the instruments. The reprocessed endoscopes must be safe for the patients. The reusable endoscopes should be sterilized and disinfected. There should be no risk of infection.
Reusable endoscope valves are a multi-component, structurally complex and non-sterile component of an endoscope. They must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each use. The re-usable endoscope valves can cause infection, so it is vital to use only sterile endoscopes. Infection can occur from these components. A single-use endoscope valve is safer and more convenient for patients.
