SteriView® Instrument Inspection System

The SteriView® Instrument Inspection System SteriView is designed to inspect the internal channels of endoscopes and surgical devices to assist in the visualization of any soiled, wet or damaged areas that the eye can’t see. The internal channels are an ideal environment for the colonization of bacteria. It is for this reason, SGNA, AAMI, AORN, and manufacturers IFU’s all state that scopes must be inspected prior to use.

The Need

Transmission of infectious agents to patients via reusable instruments is an ongoing and unnecessary hazard for patients and a significant liability for healthcare providers.

The need for SteriView Instrument Inspection and Infection Control Systems is immediate and urgent and is expected to continue to grow over time with the expansion of “Minimally Invasive Surgery” (MIS) Procedures.  Reprocessed instruments play an essential part in the enormous numbers of procedures, annually in the US:

It is vital that Hospitals and Surgery Centers have the requisite visualization technology in compliance with the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation and American National Standards Institutes ST79 and ST91 Standards as well as expected new mandates by Congress. 

SteriView®Technologies, Inc. will be used to provide Hospital and Surgery Center Sterile Processing and Operating Room Departments visual confirmation that no sources of potentially infectious bacteria or bioburden remain in their instruments after cleaning.

SteriView equipment

SteriView® Technologies, Inc. a new class of inspection scopes:

  • Cost-effective inspection of instruments
  • Recording and documentation of inspection results
  • Addresses the serious problem of avoidable device-associated infections
  • A practical method of risk management, process improvement, and infection control
