SteroScope Sterilization Technology

• Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Plasma sterilizer designed specifically for the terminal sterilization of flexible endoscopes

• Incorporates a proprietary vapor diffusion technology to direct vaporized hydrogen peroxide into the internal lumen channels of an endoscope

  • • Creates a pressure differential in each internal endoscope channel to rapidly diffuse peroxide to sterilize all endoscope channels

  • • Achieves the required peroxide efficacy concentration in all internal endoscope channels (up to 4 meters) in < 1 secs

  • • Uses lower overall concentration of H2O2 with shorter exposure times, thereby eliminating potential damage to the endoscope (~4X less than existing VHP sterilizers)

• Incorporates a proprietary sterilization container that interfaces with the sterilizer during the sterilization process and facilitates sterile storage (6 months) of the endoscope after processing

• Incorporates a proprietary single-use channel connector that allows sterilization of channel port mated-surface

• Based on our initial testing, we were able to sterilize an Olympus duodenoscope 125 times with no damage to the device
