EndoBench XT Endoscope Quality Tester
By their very nature, endoscopes are prone to failure from many causes – overstressing, repeated sterilization, post-surgical handling or incomplete repair. Historically, testing the quality of endoscopes involved using very expensive instruments and the time of scientists or engineers. Attempts to simplify the equipment have resulted in incomplete measurements or results that don’t correlate with the reports from users.
EndoBenchXT™ is an endoscope image quality test system for scope manufacturing and repair QC testing, suitable for high production work environments. The instrument consists of a custom designed opto-mechanical system and software to evaluate and report the parameters that are central to a clinical environment. Adapters and fixtures are included for measuring rigid, flexible and video endoscopes.
EndoBenchXT™ improves the quality of endoscopes by:
- Measure scopes when new, before and after repair
- Provides quantitative measurement data for tracking scopes in medical equipment inventory
- Meets Joint Commission tracking requirement
- Ensure optimal image quality for rigid and flexible endoscopes
