What is it indicated for?

When properly installed: (i) the ScopeSeal® Duodenoscope Protective Device acts as a protective barrier at the scope’s distal end to significantly reduce the level of contamination of the distal end during use and prior to reprocessing, and (ii) the ScopeSeal®’s working channel also provides a protective barrier sealing the duodenoscope’s elevator area during use, and (iii) the ScopeSeal® device provides an additional protective benefit after use when kept in place during the ScopeSeal Pre-Cleaning Procedure™ performed after use.

The ScopeSeal® is compatible for use with the Olympus Duodenoscope Model TIF-Q180V.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
