WA05938A: a Sterilisation Basket Designed for the Requirements of ENDOEYE Instruments
The WA05938A metal basket offered by Olympus is an essential component for ensuring the safety and durability of ENDOEYE video telescopes during cleaning and sterilisation processes. Custom-designed for this range of endoscopes, it meets the strict requirements for handling, transport and reprocessing of medical devices in operating theatres or central sterilisation departments.
The basket is made of high-quality wire, usually stainless steel, to withstand the heat, humidity and chemicals found in hospital sterilisation cycles. Its open design allows steam, gases or disinfectant solutions to circulate evenly, ensuring complete decontamination with no blind spots. This architecture is also designed to facilitate rinsing and rapid drying of instruments.
The shape of the WA05938A is designed to precisely accommodate ENDOEYE video telescopes, whether used alone or with their connection cables. The basket thus limits movement during the reprocessing cycle and protects fragile areas such as the optics, control handle or distal elements. This mechanical protection is essential for extending the service life of these expensive and sensitive instruments.
The WA05938A is also compatible with various disinfection systems, including autoclaves, ethylene oxide (ETO) processes, STERRAD (low-temperature plasma) and automated washer-disinfectors. This versatility ensures easy integration into most hospital protocols without the need for equipment changes.
In addition to its practical features, the basket also allows for rigorous organisation within hospital departments. It facilitates the identification, storage and traceability of instruments, particularly in multi-user environments. The WA05938A is much more than just an accessory: it is an essential link in the hygiene and safety chain surrounding Olympus video telescopes.
