TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE REPROCESSING JOURNEY Enjoy seamless compatibility with the Olympus CDS System Approach, encompassing the complete spectrum of endoscope reprocessing. Olympus – your partner for all endoscopy needs For decades, Olympus has been a global market leader in endoscopy and a trusted name in endoscope reprocessing. We have used our valuable expertise in endoscope hygiene as the basis for developing an entire system for your reprocessing room: the CDS System Approach.

Holistic scope Olympus endoscope reprocessing is more than cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes, as provided by our ETD4. It also includes drying and storing endoscopes in dedicated cabinets (EDC) as well as ergonomically and safely transporting them (ETS). All these building blocks are compatible with one another and also work seamlessly with dedicated Olympus traceability functions.

Flow Monitoring: detecting the invisible ETD4’s Flow Control reliably monitors the flow of reprocessing chemicals through every single endoscope channel system. This is a real challenge since the diameter of channels can vary significantly. ETD4 Flow Control is a hidden high tech device, which sheds light on the dark inside of all endoscope channels.

Keeping the flow going Thanks to the next generation of endoscope channel Flow Control, ETD4 is better equipped than ever to monitor the flow of reprocessing liquids through the endoscope channels. Easy-to-use endoscope channel connectors Dedicated reference data It doesn’t matter what type of endoscope you need to reprocess, ETD4 allows you to easily connect any Olympus endoscope or other compatible endoscope brands. The system comes supplied with dedicated connectors that can be exchanged with a minimum of effort and provide a dependable connection. ETD4 can therefore meet the requirements...
