ENDOCHECK TM FLEXIBLE ENDOSCOPE CHANNEL TEST Flexible endoscopes are notoriously difficult to clean. More difficult s�ll is verifying that the cleaning has been adequate. Now there is a test for checking the cleanliness of the biopsy channel of the flexible endoscope. The EndoCheck™ is a miniature chemis- try kit that is simple to use and interpret. For more solu�ons to help effec�vely manage the proper reprocessing of endoscopes, visit: HEALTHMARKGI.COM Simply swab the biopsy channel of the scope with the included so�-�pped long probe and clip off the swab into the vial. Mix the ac�va�ng agent, shake vigorously, wait and then check for a color change. Depending on the type of test used, a color change indicates that blood residue or protein residue remains in the channel, and should be reprocessed. EndoCheck™ complies with ASTM Guide D7225.
