Cleaning Challenge
Devices for Endoscope
Reprocessors
Endoscopes are extremely complex reusable medical devices. Due to their contact with mucous membranes and human tissues, cleaning and high-level disinfection processes prior to reuse must be carried out in order to avoid pathogen transmission. Endoscope reprocessing involving Automatic Endoscope Reprocessors (AERs) requires minimal user intervention and encloses highly reproducible washing cycles. Therefore, it becomes indispensable to control the efficacy of these processes in order to guarantee compliance with the cleaning standards.
Terragene® Lumenia is an innovative line of challenge devices and test soils to control flexible endoscopes washing efficiency.

The challenge device consists of three hoses with an inner diameter of 1 mm, two hoses with an inner diameter of 2 mm, and one hose
channel with an inner diameter of 4 mm; all of them 1.5 m long.
Each channel has a special connector in one end for plugging it to the Endoscope Reprocessor and a capsule in the other end, where the Chemdye® Lumenia CDWE cleaning indicators are placed (one strip in the inner cavity
of the capsule and the other one in an external slot).
Each of the six capsules have different colours that match the channels’ diameters to be monitored, and are in line with the colour scheme that the AER has in its output terminals.

CDWE
Chemdye® Lumenia CDWE cleaning indicator was specially designed for monitoring these processes. It consists of a synthetic, self-adhesive and thermostable strip, printed with a test soil made up from a mixture of specially combined colored natural components.
The test soil was developed and validated in compliance with the requirements described in ISO 15883-5:2005 Standard.
The indicator’s formulation allows the detection of failures that may affect the cleaning performance of endoscopes (in both their internal and external surfaces) in AERs.
The test soil must be completely washed off in the internal as well as in the external side of the capsule.

Six Flow LSF1
Record Card
The Six Flow LSF1 Card was designed for facilitating the correct record of CDWE strips and for making the Lumenia Six Flow kit compatible with the Trazanto system. This card enables the analysis and interpretation of the 12 CDWE washing indicators in a single step when using the Trazanto scanner.
Lumenia and Trazanto help you to streamline your work, save time and optimize monitoring processes.
LSF1 Record Card allocates the CDWE indicator strips used to monitor the AER’s washing effectiveness. CDWE indicators are self-adhesive, thus allowing easy affixing on the LSF1 card and then inserted into the Trazanto scanner and analysed and verified with Bionova® Cloud.

-Luer-lock connectors
Chemdye® Lumenia L1, L2 and L122 have been designed to control the flexible endoscope washing process efficacy in AERs. The L1 and L2 simulate 1 and 2 mm inner diameter endoscope channels, respectively; whilst the L122 offers three channels (a 1 mm inner diameter channel and two 2 mm inner diameter channels), thereby representing an endoscope in a realistic mode.
All three devices are capable of housing the Chemdye® Lumenia CDWE cleaning indicator strips. Complete removal of the indicator’s pink test soil
confirms an adequate cleaning efficacy of internal and external surfaces of endoscopes. If indicator ink is observed after the validation washing cycle, the AER cannot be considered effective in the washing process of the endoscopes, so it should not be used until accepted results are obtained.
Chemdye® Lumenia CDWE cleaning indicator strips can be individually read and interpreted by the Trazanto system, thus allowing result’s digitalization as well as automatic interpretation and registration of the results.
