EN 16442:2015 (E) DIN EN 16442:2015-05 4 Introduction Endoscope storage cabinets are designed to provide a controlled environment for the storage of endoscope(s) (with or without channels) and, if necessary, drying of the endoscope(s) including the endosco

23、pe(s) channels. The controlled environment provided by the storage cabinet ensures that during storage there is no deterioration of the microbiological quality of the endoscope. The drying function is intended to supplement, if necessary, any drying conducted during automated or manual processing of

24、 the endoscope. The storage cabinet is designed to allow for the safe use of endoscopes at an extended period from the time of processing improving availability for use. NOTE 1 Drying of an endoscope in a washer-disinfector can require a prolonged cycle time. The use of a storage cabinet including a

25、 drying function can increase the number of endoscopes that can be processed in the washer-disinfector for a defined time period. NOTE 2 It is strongly recommended to verify the microbiological quality of the endoscopes intended to be stored in the cabinet before installation of the storage cabinet.

26、 NOTE 3 The storage cabinet is not designed to clean and/or disinfect endoscopes and any contaminated endoscope stored in the cabinet can still be contaminated after the storage period. NOTE 4 Storage cabinets for processed thermolabile endoscopes are not considered as medical devices. EN 16442:2015

27、 (E) DIN EN 16442:2015-05 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the performance requirements applying to cabinets designed to store, or store and dry, thermolabile endoscopes following automated or manual processing. The storage cabinets are designed to provide a controlled environment for stor

28、age of endoscope(s), with or without channels, and when necessary drying of the endoscope(s), including the endoscope(s) channels. The controlled environment provided by the storage cabinet ensures that during storage there is no deterioration of the microbiological quality of the endoscope. The dry

29、ing function is intended to supplement, if necessary, any drying provided as part of the automated or manual processing cycle. This European Standard specifies storage cabinets which flush the channels and the external surfaces of endoscopes with air. NOTE 1 The storage cabinet is one of the means t

30、hat can allow the safe use of the endoscope for an extended period from the time of processing and improve availability for emergency use. NOTE 2 Thorough drying of an endoscope in a washer-disinfector can require a prolonged cycle time; the use of a storage cabinet including a drying function can e

31、nhance throughput of the endoscopes. The cabinet is not intended to provide any cleaning or disinfection function. This European Standard does not include the use of other chemicals for drying and maintaining the quality of endoscopes during storage 2 Normative references The following documents, in

The controlled environment provided by the cabinet shall ensure that during storage there is no deteriora

41、tion of the microbiological quality of the endoscope. An optional drying function is intended to supplement, if necessary, any drying provided as part of the automated or manual processing cycle The cabinet is not intended to provide any cleaning or disinfection function. NOTE 1 Thorough drying of a

42、n endoscope in a washer-disinfector can require a prolonged cycle time; the use of a storage cabinet including a drying function can enhance throughput of the endoscopes. NOTE 2 Table A.1 gives a summary of the tests and Clause 6 on the test methods that can be used to check that the storage cabinet

43、s meet the specified requirements. 4.1.2 Detailed requirements for information to be provided by the manufacturer are specified in Clause 8. EN 16442:2015 (E) DIN EN 16442:2015-05 7 4.1.3 The value of any process variable shall be pre-set and adjustment shall require the use of a key, code or tool.

44、4.1.4 Throughout the drying phase and/or storage the values and rate of change in temperature, pressure or any other process variable shall be within limits which will not cause damage to the device(s) stored in the storage cabinet. 4.2 Storage 4.2.1 The storage cabinet shall maintain the microbiolo

45、gical quality of the endoscopes during storage. Tests shall be performed according to Annex E. 4.2.2 A risk analysis with consideration of the different parameters on the storage cabinet performance shall be performed and the means used to minimize the identified risks shall be verified (see 6.1). N

46、OTE 1 According to the design of the storage cabinet those parameters can include: potential for contamination between different endoscopes stored simultaneously (see Annex B); ingress of contamination during loading and/or unloading; potential for contamination caused by accessories and connectors/

47、connections (see Annex B); potential for contamination caused by endoscopes accessories; environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity, etc.) where the storage cabinet is installed; potential for contamination caused by improper air quality in the storage compartment; potential for contamination caused by inefficient drying procedure prior to st
