MH-856 Olympus – The essential suction cleaning adapter for optimal reprocessing
The MH-856 suction cleaning adapter from Olympus is designed to ensure effective internal cleaning of flexible endoscopes. Used in manual reprocessing procedures, it allows cleaning fluids to be sucked through the instrument channel smoothly and evenly. Thanks to its precise design, it ensures complete contact between the cleaning solutions and the internal walls of the channel, helping to remove potentially infectious organic residues. This process is essential to guarantee effective disinfection and sterilisation downstream.
The MH-856 consists of a connection tip that easily attaches to the endoscope and a weighted end that immerses in the cleaning fluid. This weight keeps the tip permanently submerged, ensuring continuous and reliable suction. It connects to a compatible suction pump to create dynamic fluid circulation through the channel, replicating clinical conditions and enhancing cleaning efficiency. This simple operation allows medical staff to work more efficiently while adhering to strict infection control protocols.
Compliant with Olympus quality standards, the MH-856 adapter is a robust, reliable and easy-to-use accessory. It requires no cleaning, disinfection or sterilisation before its first use, making it a practical tool in environments where speed and rigour are essential. Regular visual inspection is sufficient to ensure that it is in good condition: if cracks, scratches or debris are found, it should be replaced to maintain the integrity of the reprocessing process.
Used in the cleaning of EVIS EXERA II endoscopes (including the TJF-Q180V model), the MH-856 plays a key role in reducing the risk of cross-contamination. It helps maintain high standards of hygiene and safety, while integrating seamlessly into the manual cleaning procedures recommended by Olympus. Thanks to its dedicated design and perfect compatibility with Olympus equipment, this adapter is the go-to choice for healthcare facilities that care about the quality and safety of care.
