Olympus MH-507: Precision Swab for Cleaning the Channel Opening of Endoscopes
The Olympus MH-507 is a brush designed to meet the strict requirements of flexible endoscope cleaning procedures. Specifically developed to clean the working channel opening and complex areas such as the suction cage, erector and its recess, this accessory plays a central role in preventing infections associated with medical devices.
Thanks to its elongated shape and sturdy bristles, the MH-507 provides effective brushing, even in hard-to-reach areas of the endoscope. It is particularly suitable for sensitive structures, ensuring the removal of biological residues without compromising the internal components of the device. When used in accordance with the Olympus cleaning guide recommendations, it fits perfectly into manual decontamination procedures prior to disinfection or sterilisation.
One of the major advantages of this brush is its ability to maintain its effectiveness after visual inspection and cleaning between uses. It does not need to be disinfected or sterilised before its first use, which simplifies logistics processes while reducing consumable costs. Its sturdy handle, combined with a securely attached brush head, ensures precise, safe and ergonomic handling.
However, each swab must be thoroughly inspected before use: no bristles should be missing or damaged, and the shaft should not be bent or scratched. If any impurities are present, it is recommended to immerse the swab in suitable cleaning water before reuse. This step ensures optimal cleanliness in accordance with current hospital standards.
Compatible with ethyleneoxide sterilisation procedures, the MH-507 fits into established protocols for demanding hospital environments. It meets the traceability and quality requirements imposed by central disinfection services.
The Olympus MH-507 swab is an essential tool for endoscope reprocessing teams. Its robust design, compatibility with standard cleaning procedures and reliability make it the benchmark choice for ensuring a high level of hygiene in healthcare facilities.
