The introduction of ST91 guidelines has significantly impacted healthcare facilities, particularly those performing endoscopic procedures regularly. Among the crucial updates is the recommendation for drying endoscope channels for a minimum of 10 minutes, utilizing pressure-regulated forced instrument air. This requirement aims to enhance the reprocessing of flexible and semi-rigid endoscopes, promoting patient safety.
However, implementing these guidelines can pose challenges for healthcare departments, potentially causing delays and affecting overall performance. One area of concern is the drying process, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of endoscopes. Traditional drying methods may take up to 45 minutes, significantly slowing down the reprocessing workflow.
Mobile Aspects addresses this challenge with its IRIScope endoscope management system. This innovative platform offers a distinct advantage by fully drying scope channels in just 10 minutes, meeting the ST91 recommendation without compromising efficiency. The internal compressor generates six times the airflow of other systems, eliminating the need for costly external infrastructure.
ST91 is a step forward in ensuring safer patient environments, and the choice of endoscope management systems plays a crucial role in successful implementation. Mobile Aspects provides a solution that not only meets these guidelines but also enhances workflow efficiency, empowering healthcare providers to navigate the complexities of ST91 with confidence.
