The Medivators DSD Edge is a dual-basin, asynchronous automated endoscope reprocessor designed for use in busy hospitals and endoscopy centers and to provide the fastest endoscope turnaround time with a reprocessing cycle as short as 22 minutes, according to the release.
The DSD Edge uses Rapicide PA High Level Disinfectant, a single-use, environmentally responsible, endoscope-safe formulation. Rapicide PA is designed specifically to high-level disinfect at the low temperature of 30 °C. The peracetic acid solution used during a DSD Edge reprocessing cycle does not have to be neutralized prior to disposal, as the breakdown products of peracetic acid are water, oxygen and acetic acid, according to the release.
Other features of the DSD Edge include: automated leak testing to minimize leak-related repair costs, a final alcohol purge to facilitate drying of endoscope channels and an optional supplemental wash cycle using Intercept Detergent for additional and consistent cleaning of the endoscope.
