A rigorous methodology and processes
After diagnosing your endoscope, our biomedical technicians intervene:
- Replacement of defective parts : Operating channel, distal sheath, insertion tube, winding system, etc.
- Adjustment and readjustment of replaced parts: Adjustment of angle, eyepiece mask, eyepiece focus, etc.
- Disinfection of your equipment : Washing, disinfection in LDE
- Performance and sealing tests: Resistance, flexibility, imaging, pressure tests
How to avoid them?
Common failures of your endoscopes
After diagnosing your endoscope, our biomedical technicians intervene
1. Wear or wrinkling of flexible sheaths
Intensive use exposes flexible endoscopes to mechanical stresses which can lead to deterioration: folds, cracks and breaks in the flexible sheaths.
Best practices:
- Careful handling: Limit sudden movements and respect recommended bending angles.
- Preventive maintenance: Regular inspections help detect and replace worn parts before complete failure, ensuring optimum uptime of your endoscope.
2. Infiltration of liquids or debris
Flexible endoscopes are sensitive to liquid infiltration which can compromise their operation and lifespan.
Best practices:
- Systematic leak test: Before each cleaning, pressurize the endoscope and check for leaks. If pressure is lost, do not immerse it and contact after-sales service.
- Careful handling: Handle the endoscope with care during immersion, paying particular attention to the seals.
- Compliance with protocols: Strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding cleaning and disinfection.
3. Damage to the lens and optical components
The lenses and optical components of flexible endoscopes are fragile and sensitive to shock. Any damage can affect image quality.
How to protect your equipment?
- Careful handling: Handle the distal tip with care to avoid contact with hard surfaces.
- Protected environment: Keep away objects that could damage the lenses.
- Rigorous maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting.
4. Electrical or electronic problems
Flexible endoscopes contain liquid-sensitive electronic components. Electrical problems (noise, image loss, malfunctions) may occur in the event of infiltration.
How to prevent malfunctions?
- Systematic leak test: Before each cleaning, pressurize the endoscope to check for leaks.
- Careful handling: Never remove the leak tester into liquid.
- Thorough drying: Perform a complete blow-out of the endoscope before removing the soaking cap to avoid splashing liquid onto the electronic components.
Endoscope maintenance
Do you have questions about maintaining your flexible endoscopes?
Which endoscopes are affected?
We provide maintenance for flexible endoscopes (small and large models), fibroendoscopes and video endoscopes (gastroscope, colonoscope, bronchoscope, cystoscope, duodenoscope, echoendoscope).
We can also assist you with any other repair requests for other brands. Contact our team for any specific requests regarding the make and model of your equipment.
Can I track the repair of my endoscope?
Yes, directly on our custom CMMS platform which allows you to track all your maintenance operations in real time:
- Request for repair
- Monitoring of operations by serial number (reception, audit, quote, repairs carried out, spare parts)
- Centralization of billing
- Custom graphs and reports: failure rates, most frequent failures by equipment type or by site...
- Export data in .csv format
My endoscope is beyond repair, what should I do?
Your Olympus endoscope no longer works? We will take back your non-functional gastroscope, arthroscope, etc. for a controlled end of life:
- Recovery of functional spare parts to repair other endoscopes subsequently, in a circular economy approach
- Recycling of non-reusable materials via our network of approved partners
Can you provide a certificate of conformity for the repairs carried out?
Yes, we will provide you with a Eurofins certificate.
Our biomedical teams are committed to respecting a rigorous quality charter throughout the handling of your equipment, from cleaning to disinfection , including inspection, audit, repair and performance testing.
- Disinfection at the entrance and exit of the workshop
- + 40 quality control points
- Replacement of defective parts only
- Traceability of spare parts and devices
