Transforming the cleaning of flexible endoscopes

Greater Control of channel cleaning

Remove inconsistencies and produce repeatable results

CORIS is an automated endoscope channel cleaner that empowers reprocessing staff to take greater control over scope turnaround time and demand management by removing the inconsistencies in the manual cleaning workflow. The system uses multiple sensors and an algorithm to accurately control a validated cleaning cycle that ensures consistent and repeatable cleaning results.


Simplicity of Operation

Ease of use and hands-off time helps make cleaning endoscope channels simpler

CORIS enables staff to quickly connect an endoscope, start a cleaning cycle and leverage the time they are not brushing and flushing to focus on other tasks or endoscopes, potentially improving their workflow and throughput.

Features At-A-Glance

CORIS is equipped with both RFID and Barcode readers to scan endoscopes and streamline the selection of adaptors and accessories.

Based on the endoscope being cleaned (as determined by the RFID/Barcode) CORIS selects the appropriate cleaning cycle and provides the expected duration to the user.

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.

The system constantly monitors for cycle status and alerts users via visual and audible alarms when action is required.

At the end of each cleaning cycle users will be presented with the pass/fail information to confirm.
