Porpoise™

• A single-use alternative to reusable cleaning adapters designed to address issues related to potential contamination during reprocessing
• Designed to flush the air and water channels with air and water during the bedside pre-cleaning process, after endoscopic procedures
• Compatible with the following gastrointestinal endoscopes: Olympus EVIS EXERA (160), EVIS EXERA II (180) & EVIS EXERA III (190)

The Porpoise™ Air/Water Cleaning Adapter provides important patient safety and operational efficiency benefits.

• A cleaning adapter facilitates a critical step of the Olympus pre-cleaning process: flushing the endoscope channels and nozzle to aid in preventing buildup of potentially infectious bioburden and foreign debris.^1-7
• The use of single-use cleaning adapters ensures a clean and functioning air/water cleaning adapter is available for endoscopes post-procedure, guarding against the contamination risk associated with incomplete bedside reprocessing steps or wear and tear on reusable cleaning adapters.^5-9
• The Porpoise™ Air/Water Cleaning Adapter is designed to meet the pre-cleaning guideline requirements for a cleaning adapter in the applicable Olympus reprocessing manuals.^1-6
• The use of a single-use air/water cleaning adapter eliminates: 
  • The labor burden and costs associated with reprocessing, tracing and maintaining reusable cleaning adapters potentially increasing operational efficiency. 
  • The risk of misplacing, discarding, and having to frequently replace a reusable cleaning adapter, potentially contributing to economic savings.^5-6

In addition, working with Boston Scientific brings benefits of standardization including inventory readiness and educational support.
