It is designed to flush the air and water channels with air and water during the bedside pre-cleaning process, after endoscopic procedures.

   

Product Details

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. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
  • 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. 5,6,8,9
  • 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. 1,2,3,4,5,6
  • 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.
