Rigid, Flexible and Multifunctional Endoscopy: A Configuration Checklist

Separate Rigid, Flexible, and Platform Systems

When checking a configuration, distinguish a rigid-endoscope system, flexible-endoscope combinations, and a multifunctional platform. Similar names or images on one page do not mean they share scopes, working channels, or accessories. Confirm the series and exact model, then read its list item by item to determine which components belong to the combination.

Check the Rigid-System Components

The Super HD rigid-endoscope information lists a gas insufflator, a 5 mm trocar, a 5 mm laparoscope, and a 2.7 mm general endoscope. Compare each item with the delivery list and record its size and quantity instead of treating different specifications as one generic set. The laparoscope information states high-temperature/high-pressure or immersion disinfection. This applies to the listed laparoscope and should not be generalized to other instruments.

Check Flexible Scopes and Platform Configuration Separately

Flexible-scope specifications are listed in pairs: 8/2.8 mm, 6/2 mm, 2.8/1.2 mm, and 1.6/1.0 mm; the 2.8 mm specification is marked disposable. Keep each pair intact and confirm its scope, channel, and model. Super Edge has optional combinations; a DR unit or pump in an image is not evidence of standard delivery. Check the main unit, endoscopy components, and other accessories by SKU, and do not transfer rigid-scope disinfection information to flexible scopes.

Paired values are not labels that can be freely exchanged between scope diameter and working channel. Keep both values in each pair as documented and confirm the series, scope type, and disposable status when making an inquiry.

List the system name, main unit, scopes, and accessories separately. If one image shows multiple devices, confirm which items form the model configuration and which are options, so the inquiry list and actual delivery scope are not confused.

Configuration Checklist

• Confirm the series, model, and rigid, flexible, or platform category.

• Check rigid-system components, flexible-scope pairs, and the disposable label.

• Mark each accessory as standard or optional.

• Verify disinfection information for the exact instrument and check the list before ordering.
