13991 SW Cleaning Adapter for Water Jet Channel – An Effective Solution for Maintaining SILVER SCOPE® Colonoscopes
The 13991 SW from Karl Storz is an essential accessory for ensuring thorough cleaning of the water jet channel integrated in certain SILVER SCOPE® series colonoscopes. In a medical environment where hygiene and disinfection play a central role in the prevention of nosocomial infections, this adapter is a reliable tool designed to meet the strict requirements of digestive endoscopy cleaning procedures.
This device is reusable and easily adaptable thanks to its LUER-Lock connection, a recognised standard in medical connection systems. This secure locking system ensures a stable connection to cleaning devices, thus limiting the risk of leakage or disconnection during disinfection processes, whether manual or mechanical.
Designed specifically for water jet channels, the 13991 SW effectively removes residual debris and particles from the operating channel, helping to maintain the optimal functionality of Karl Storz instruments. It also promotes uniform circulation of cleaning fluids throughout the entire section of the colonoscope, ensuring complete coverage of the internal disinfection process.
This model is an integral part of the recommended accessory system for colonoscopes such as models 13925 PKS, 13925 HPKS and 13924 PKS. It is therefore an essential component in the preventive maintenance strategy for endoscopic equipment, not only extending its service life but also ensuring consistent image quality and flawless technical performance during clinical examinations.
Thanks to its direct compatibility with the brand's flexible video instruments, the 13991 SW fits perfectly into hospital sterilisation protocols. It also provides safety for healthcare professionals by ensuring that the water jet channel, which is often used in colonic mucosa cleaning procedures, remains perfectly clean and functional.
The 13991 SW embodies Karl Storz's commitment to impeccable hygiene and the long-term performance of its equipment. Compact, reliable and easy to use, it is the obvious choice for any gastroenterology unit using SILVER SCOPE® colonoscopes.
