Monique Rijpert (Team Leader outpatient ENT) and Noor Everts (UV Smart) talked this week about the big change that took place last summer at the Elisabeth-Tweesteden Hospital (ETZ) in Tilburg. Namely, the ENT outpatient clinic installed three UV Smart D60s through Pentax Medical in 2022. These are used to disinfect all ductless ENT endoscopes in the department. The first months have gone well and therefore we would like to share some impressive and instructive insights about the new working method within the outpatient clinic.
On July 25, Nicolas Cediey and Noor Everts visited a clinical physicist, Geert Geleijnse, at Erasmus MC. Geert spends most of his time in the ENT department. Here he does research on the image quality of endoscopes. In addition to his current research, Geert also examined the image quality of an endoscope disinfected with the D60. We will discuss the research and the results of this test here.
