Pentax

The Pentax DEC™ High-definition video duodenoscope is a flexible video duodenoscope for gastroenterology and ERCP-related endoscopy workflows. This listing has been prepared from the uploaded product page and should be used as a procurement/catalogue entry for quotation, configuration review and compatibility confirmation before ordering.

Clinical and Workflow Context

Duodenoscopes are specialist side-viewing flexible endoscopes used where access, visualization and device control around the duodenum and biliary/pancreatic anatomy are required. Final suitability depends on the complete endoscopy tower, processor/light-source platform, accessories, reprocessing pathway, local regulatory requirements and the clinical procedure set used by the facility.

Source Description

The I-DEC™ duodenoscope with its disposable elevator cap (DEC), reduces the risk of cross-contamination in ERCP. Elevator caps are components most likely to harbor bioburden after cleaning.

Simply detaching and discarding the disposable elevator cap after each use greatly reduces the effort required for thorough reprocessing without compromising maneuverability or image quality.

Disposable Elevator with Reusable Upper Case Designed for smooth, precise steering of therapeutic devices and built with durable materials, the disposable elevator cap delivers the maneuverability of a reusable device.

Disposable Elevator Cap Combining a reusable endoscope with the DEC guarantees the benefits of a new elevator and the handling ease of a reusable duodenoscope in each procedure.

Outstanding Visualization A brighter HD+ image and finely differentiated colors and contrasts allow for proper positioning and cannulation.

Reduced Risk of Cross-Contamination The DEC™ Disposable Elevator Cap ensures a reduced risk of cross-contamination by improving surface access for distal end cleaning without compromising therapeutic performance.

The single-use distal end cap with integrated elevator eliminates the need for elevator reprocessing.The disposable cleaning brushes, designed specifically for PENTAX Medical, meet high quality standards and have been tested to reduce residual debris compared to conventional brushes.

PENTAX Medical recommends reprocessing the DEC™ Duodenoscope with PROfILE Disposable Cleaning Brushes.
