ETD3 Introduction
The Olympus ETD system has become the pioneering standard for reliable hygienic reprocessing of endoscopes: user friendly machines that clean and disinfect endoscopes safely after use, quickly preparing them for the next time they are needed. 
Together, Olympus, Miele and Ecolab have set themselves the joint challenge of raising this high standard still further.  The result of this cooperation is the new HTM2030 compliant ETD3.


Features of ETD3


PAA (Peracetic Acid) process -                                                   



New Olympus chemicals EndoDet, EndoDis and EndoAct are used for the single-shot PAA process, which provides reliable disinfection results and full material compatibility with Olympus Flexible endoscopes.

Flow control - 





                   

Integrated channel flow control performs continuous monitoring of flow of disinfectant through endoscope channels.  This ensures contact of the disinfection liquid with all inner surfaces, for reliable reprocessing results and ensures each endoscope is correctly connected and no channels have been forgotten!
EndoID -



Automatically identifies every endoscope, which is reprocessed in ETD3.  This ensures efficacious flow control, according to endoscope model, and a quality assurance system, since reprocessing reports can be printed out.
Rinse water -



To prevent recontamination of endoscopes by rinse water, decontamination of the rinse water is necessary, which is achieved by UV radiation and a small quantity of PAA, which is added to the rinse water.
Remote access -  




                       

ETD3 is equipped with a modem / ISDN interface for remote service access.  This will enable Olympus service technicians to install updated software versions to the machine from the workshop.  In addition, this will allow them to diagnose and solve problems direct from Technical Services.
Leak tester -
 

Works with a very high sensitivity and detects even the smallest perforations in the endoscope.
Dosage monitoring -

                                

Correct dosage quanitities are essential for reliable hygienic results.  In ETD3 the correct dosage of chemicals is directly measured by an impeller rotation counter. 
Elevator channel supply -  

                                           

A special pump will ensure that the elevator channel of duodenoscopes is flushed with an increased pressure.
Basket Coding -
ETD3 will automatically identify, which basket has been inserted in the machine.
Water softner -


ETD3 is equipped with a water softener which does not require a regeneration program to be run.
Spray arm rotation -


The rotation of the spray arm is monitored by a dedicated magnetic sensor.  This ensures correct cleaning results of the outer surfaces of endoscopes.
Water inlet -

Controlled by an impeller cycle counter, which assures a volumetric control of water quantity used per cycle.
Drying unit -
60oC Hepa-filtered air for drying flexible endoscopes.
High temperature cycle -

This program allows a high temperature pre-programmable self-disinfection of the washing chamber.
Self start function -
 
                                              

This allows the machine to start automatically in the morning to perform a self-disinfection program.
