3. Olympus: TJF-Q190V disposable distal endcap
Olympus (TYO:7733) announced in February 2020 that it won FDA clearance for its TJF-Q190V duodenoscope with a sterile, disposable distal endcap.
The TJF-Q190V duodenoscope features a sterile, clear, single-use distal endcap cover that can be removed and discarded after a procedure to prevent reuse. It also offers improved visualization of and access to the distal end for manual cleaning and disinfection. The distal-end flushing adaptor enables cleaning of the elevator mechanism and the sealed elevator wire channel port that doesn’t require separate cleaning.
Tokyo-based Olympus said the duodenoscope is designed to improve cleaning and reprocessing of the device to reduce contamination and eliminate deadly superbugs.
