The advantages of the Scirocco

1. Five-Minute Drying Cycle

Scirocco integrates a unique moisture detection method to guarantee effective completion of the drying process. With a total cycle time of just five minutes, it offers unmatched efficiency for optimising workflows.

2. 100% Drying Efficiency with Advanced Humidity Sensor 

Scirocco ensures endoscopes are completely dry, with its unique moisture detection system testing for less than 10% humidity. This guarantees safety for storage for up to 30 days, reducing the risk of harmful pathogens and enhancing patient safety. The fully automated process eliminates human error, allowing Scirocco to determine when an endoscope is ready for secure storage.

3. 30-Day Secure Storage

With Scirocco’s precise drying and humidity control, flexible endoscopes can be safely stored for up to 30 days. This extended storage capability ensures readiness for use while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety.

4. Dedicated Scirocco Storage Bags

To complement the Scirocco system, we have developed specialised storage bags designed for safely holding endoscopes after cleaning and drying. These bags ensure the endoscope remains secure and contamination-free for up to 30 days. As a permanent part of our product range, the Scirocco storage bags provide a reliable solution for storing cleaned and dried endoscopes, maintaining hygiene and readiness for use. The base of the Scirocco features a storage system designed to neatly organise and provide easy access to Scirocco Bags.

 

5. Label Printer and Scanner

Scirocco comes with a label printer, offering streamlined tracking and documentation, eliminating the need for an additional stand and enhancing workflow efficiency. After each drying cycle, Scirocco can print labels containing key drying details. It also features a small storage compartment where the scanner can be conveniently placed, keeping it within easy reach.

6. Proven Reliability Through Real-World Testing

Scirocco stands out as the only storage system tested on actual endoscopes under challenging conditions. Unlike competitors who rely on surrogate devices and sterile water, we exposed real endoscopes to Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination during testing to ensure true reliability. This rigorous approach guarantees that Scirocco can safely store even the most complex endoscopes, protecting against recontamination and safeguarding patient safety. Every test delivered successful results, proving Scirocco’s unmatched dependability in real-world scenarios.


7. Colour-Coded Drying Tubes

Scirocco features colour-coded drying tubes to ensure each channel is properly connected and dried. The blue tube is dedicated to air and water channels, the red tube to the suction biopsy channel, and the black tube to the auxiliary channel. This system guarantees that each channel is individually dried, maintaining optimal functionality and preventing cross-contamination between channels.

8. User-Friendly Interface for Clear Process Monitoring

Scirocco features an easy-to-read screen that clearly indicates when the drying process is complete. Unlike other systems on the market that assume the process is finished, Scirocco ensures accuracy, reducing the risk of contamination

9. Easy Mobility with Lockable Wheels

Scirocco is designed for effortless movement, featuring lockable wheels that provide stability when stationary and allow for easy manoeuvrability when needed. This enhances workflow efficiency and ensures the system can be positioned conveniently within any space.
