Rigid Scopes
The RigidScan Scope Tester
Pre-sterilization QA inspections need to be part of our routine maintenance for surgical instruments and scopes. Rigid endoscope damage in today’s hospitals is on-going and expensive. One of the biggest problems with damaged rigid endoscopes is that they often make it to the sterile field resulting in delays and frustration for our surgeons and staff.
We as CSSPD professional need to assure that medical devices processed through central sterilization receive QA inspections prior to packaging and sterilization. The RigidScan Endoscope tester provides just such a QA that will eliminate this problem altogether.
Before any rigid endoscope is sterilized at our hospital we complete a RigidScan scope QA to insure that the optics meet the needs of our customers. Any scope that does not pass the QA is sent out for repair.
This product will save your department on the blame game as well. Post surgery QA inspection will help you track down those who cause the damage which in most cases is due to the lack of knowledge regarding the care and handling.

A simple to use, quick check for rigid endoscopes
Finally there is a simple tool for technical and non-technical personnel to perform a quick evaluation of most rigid endoscopes.
The patented RigidScan™ allows your staff to diagnose problems during incoming inspections, after complaints, pre-and post-service and even and even as a routine preventive maintenance inspection.
Clinical studies have already documented that using the RigidScan will often pay for itself on incoming inspections of new rigid endoscopes within the first year.
