STERIS Corp., a provider of infection prevention and surgical products and services, has announced the launch of a new device for its European markets designed to aid manual reprocessing of endoscopes between patients.
The BlackBox device provides on-screen instructions to guide the user through the manual steps of leak testing, washing, rinsing, disinfecting and purging endoscopes, according to a company news release.
BlackBox can be used as a stand-alone option to assist manual reprocessing or used prior to automated reprocessing to help detect blockages in the internal channels of an endoscope, according to the release. The device is equipped with a printer to record the reprocessing steps performed on each endoscope.
