How to disinfect a laryngoscope?
Generally speaking, thoroughly rinsing each pipe with a syringe and water gun reduces the removal of enzyme solution and non-loose dirt in the pipes, as both are the same.
1. Remove the laryngoscope from contact with the patient. Then, immediately try to wipe it off with a wet gauze.
2. Alternatively, place the laryngoscope and accessories into a cleaning tank, especially under running water for thorough cleaning. The cleaning gauze should incur additional costs.
3. In terms of usage, the sequential cleaning should be newly assembled and disinfected.
4. Or soak the dry laryngoscope accessories, buttons, and valves in a small amount of enzyme detergent for 5-10 minutes.
5. Generally, thoroughly rinse each tube with a syringe and water gun, which reduces the enzyme solution and non-loose dirt in the tubes, both are the same.
6. Regularly rinse the outer surface of the laryngoscope, using a 50 ml syringe to rinse the tubes in each area, removing the water used in the tubes without dilution.
7. Or let it dry, then place the laryngoscope in a disinfection jar containing 2% glutaraldehyde (then immerse it completely in the disinfectant, including each channel).
Q2: What disinfectant is used for laryngoscope disinfection?
1. The disinfection process for the laryngoscope is assessed after disassembly and cleaning.
2. Wipe the surface with a clean wet gauze, keep the flashlight's inner tube dry, and do not rinse directly with water.
3. Place it under clean water and scrub with a small soft screw or cotton swab. It is necessary to clean the gaps thoroughly and use a cleaner at appropriate times to ensure the gaps are clean.
4. Soak in 75% alcohol for disinfection for 30 minutes.
5. For patients with special infections, soak in a disinfectant with an effective chlorine content of 1000 mg/L for 30 minutes, then rinse with clean water, and air dry or wipe dry with a clean cloth.
6. Change to clean gloves and wipe the surface of the flashlight with sticky disinfectant or gauze.
7. Nurses should wear standard attire, and special infectious patients need to wear masks, protective glasses, and other protective clothing.

Single-use visual endoscopes: A new trend in the medical industry
Explore the application and future development of disposable visual endoscopes in the medical industry, and understand the convenience and innovation they bring.
Single-use endoscopes are expected to make a leap in the Chinese market.
Endoscopes, known as the "eyes" of doctors. Since the 19th century, endoscopes have undergone multiple iterations and updates, from rigid endoscopes, flexible endoscopes, electronic endoscopes to capsule endoscopes, and so on. In recent years, a newer type of disposable endoscope has been applied in clinical settings, serving as a complement to traditional reusable endoscopes.
Endoscopes mainly enter the body through natural or surgically created small openings. They are equipped with optical lenses and mechanical devices, allowing for the observation of diseased tissues once inside the body. This type of instrument is collectively referred to as an endoscope in clinical settings, including bronchoscopes, colonoscopes, gastroscopes, hysteroscopes, cystoscopes, laparoscopes, and arthroscopes.
How will single-use endoscopes change the way you undergo health check-ups?
With the continuous advancement of medical technology, disposable endoscopes are changing the way we conduct health examinations. As an advanced medical device, disposable endoscopes bring innovation to health checks with their unique advantages. This article will explore how disposable endoscopes are impacting our health examination methods.
