A medical instrument or device could be single use or reusable. Single use medical instruments or devices like syringes are not reused while reusable medical instruments or devices like endoscopes must undergo a cleaning and sterilization/disinfection process. This is essential to prevent outbreak of infections and promote patient’s safety. Endoscopy involves examining or looking inside a person’s body, usually the digestive system, for medical reasons. This is done with the aid of an endoscope. An endoscope is a long, thin, flexible/rigid medical imaging tube with a light and camera attached for capturing images of the body part being examined. It is inserted through a natural opening such as the mouth cavity or the rectum. An endoscope is a reusable medical instrument and the only medical imaging device that is inserted directly into the organ being examined. This makes it a critical medical instrument for sterilization according to Spaulding’s classification as quoted in Disinfection and Sterilization Infection Control Guidelines, 2009. After using an endoscope, it must pass through different cleaning and disinfection processes before it can be used again. Another issue of note is it’s drying and storage after cleaning and sterilizing. Several manufacturers offer several models. Models currently available include: Steelco, Medivators, Soluscope, Escad, Afos, Wassernburg, Logiquip, and Scope-store. This list is not exhaustive.
