PCI Medical

The TD-100 is an automated disinfector for transesophageal probes. Designed to eliminate the need for manual reprocessing of these delicate probes, the TD-100 is similar in function to the widely used endoscopic reprocessors found in most CS and endoscopy departments, but is designed to automatically complete the disinfection and rinse cycles in less than 18 minutes. The TD-100 uses a fresh bottle of TD-5 (a glutaraldehyde-based disinfectant) for each cycle. The TD-5 bottle is pierced inside the TD-100 to eliminate splashes and spills, and the advanced vapor management system adsorbs chemical vapors, further protecting the user. A printed validation is generated at the end of the completed cycle.
