Automation of strenuous tasks
Replacing the effort of manual brushing and flushing of channels
Endoscopy reprocessing staff experience discomfort and pain from leaning over sinks, scrubbing endoscopes and standing for long hours.2
Over 75% of reprocessing staff report fatigue or discomfort as a result of manual endoscope cleaning2
CORIS is an automated endoscope channel cleaner that replaces the manual cleaning of the internal channels and ports of flexible endoscopes, removing the strenuous work of brushing and flushing these channels.

Protection from splashes and aerosols
Smart effluent management via a closed system
CORIS with Smart Drain technology is a closed loop system, once connected, the internals of an endoscope are cleaned, and all effluent is contained and distributed directly to the drain, reducing the risk of exposure of staff to contaminants and harmful chemicals caused by splashing9 during the manual cleaning process.

Features At-A-Glance
An automated process that removes the need to manually brush and/or flush endoscope channels, individual scopes require individual cleaning by scanning the scope at the beginning of the process the correct cycle is automatically selected and run.
A crisp and intuitive user interface on the Device guides users through the connection and disconnection process with visual cues.
Dedicated adaptors equipped with RFID technology identify the correct adaptor for the scope being cleaned. The colour coded connectors have been designed to be easy to connect but firm enough to prevent disconnection and leakage while the physical cleaning agent is delivered.
An effluent management system that combines connectors, seals and sensors to catch and decelerate the cleaning agent and biomaterial, safely sending it to the drain system below the sink.
The ability for CORIS to be wall or bench mounted enables the integration to current facilities including those ergonomically designed with height adjustable sinks. The CORIS mounting system has received HCAI OPM pre-approval.
