Introduction
Flexible endoscopes are indispensable instruments in modern medicine, enabling physicians to perform minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures across multiple specialties, including gastroenterology, pulmonology, urology, and surgery. However, despite their clinical value, these devices carry a significant risk of cross-contamination when not properly cleaned and disinfected. Their complex internal channels and delicate components make them particularly vulnerable to microbial transmission, especially when reprocessed manually or without standardized procedures.
In recent years, several high-profile outbreaks linked to contaminated endoscopes have drawn attention to the urgent need for more reliable and validated reprocessing methods. Healthcare providers worldwide are facing increasing regulatory pressure to implement technologies that ensure safety, traceability, and compliance with international guidelines.
At PFE Medical, we are committed to supporting healthcare institutions in meeting these challenges through innovative, CE-marked infection prevention solutions that simplify workflows and raise the standard of endoscope hygiene. Our approach combines technical precision with real-world usability, addressing each critical stage of the reprocessing cycle, from cleaning and disinfection to drying and storage.
We are currently expanding our international distributor network and are seeking dedicated partners who recognize the growing demand for effective endoscope reprocessing solutions in their local markets. By joining us, you will not only enhance your medical portfolio but also contribute to advancing patient safety in one of the most sensitive areas of modern healthcare.
Let’s make the removal of biofilms our shared mission
Biofilms are thin, complex layers of microorganisms that can develop on the surfaces of flexible endoscopes, especially in hard-to-reach internal channels. These microbial layers act as a protective shield, making pathogens far more resistant to conventional cleaning and disinfection. Even when standard reprocessing is followed, biofilms can allow harmful bacteria to survive, posing a serious risk of cross-contamination and infection.
Their formation is most common in areas where endoscopes come into contact with organic material such as blood, tissue, or mucus, substances that are often difficult to fully remove, particularly during manual cleaning. Due to their design, endoscopes are especially vulnerable to biofilm buildup, and once established, these microbial layers significantly reduce the effectiveness of disinfectants.
This makes biofilm formation not just a technical issue, but a real threat to patient safety. In high-throughput clinical environments, where endoscopes are reused frequently, the risks multiply quickly.
At PFE Medical, we’ve developed cutting-edge reprocessing systems specifically designed to combat this challenge. Our Khamsin and Scirocco systems deliver high-efficiency, automated cleaning and drying, helping to prevent biofilm formation from the start. These technologies not only improve infection prevention but also support hospitals in meeting the highest hygiene standards and regulatory compliance.
We are currently looking for distribution partners who are ready to bring these solutions to their markets. If you are active in the field of endoscopy or infection control, and committed to helping healthcare institutions adopt safer, more advanced cleaning technologies, we’d like to hear from you.
