Newly Published Data Demonstrate ASP EVOTECH® ECR Provides Cleaning That is Superior to Manual Cleaning of Flexible Endoscopes

July 20, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

IRVINE, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire/ — Advanced
Sterilization Products (ASP) announced today newly published data
showing the ASP EVOTECH® Endoscope Cleaner and Reprocessor
(ECR) provides an automated approach superior to the manual
cleaning required when using traditional AERs. Published in the
July issue of Biomed Central, the combination clinical-use
and simulated-use study was led by Michelle Alfa, Ph.D., FCCM,
Medical Director, Microbiology Discipline Diagnostic Services of
Manitoba (DSM) St. Boniface
General Hospital Site.

“There have been a number of highly publicized endoscope
cleaning incidents in both the USA
and Canada that underscore the
importance of improving the cleaning process for flexible
endoscopes,” said Dr. Alfa, study principal investigator and lead
author. “While the EVOTECH® ECR technology is new, our recent
in-use study evaluating the cleaning efficacy of the highly
automated EVOTECH® ECR shows great promise as this system
provided cleaning that was superior to manual cleaning for flexible
endoscopes.  Improved cleaning using a validated automated
system is an important step in ensuring reliable reprocessing of
flexible endoscopes and thereby reducing risk for patients.”

As healthcare facilities transition to alternative systems for
high-level disinfection, this data further supports that the
EVOTECH® ECR eliminates manual cleaning while providing
high-level disinfection.

In the United States each year,
approximately 34 million gastrointestinal procedures alone are
performed using flexible endoscopes.(1)  Numerous studies of
manual reprocessing indicate widespread difficulty in achieving
endoscope manu
