Description
The Avanos 60217 is a CB-X™ II Dual-Ended Cleaning Brush. Unlike the previous models, the "CB-X II" designation indicates a double-ended configuration, designed to provide more efficient and comprehensive cleaning of endoscopes in a single pass.
Key Features
Dual-Ended Design: Features brushes on both ends of the catheter. This allows a technician to clean the biopsy channel and the valve seats/ports using the same tool without needing to switch devices.
4 mm Bristle Diameter: This specific model uses 4 mm bristles, making it ideal for the narrower channels found in bronchoscopes or pediatric gastrointestinal scopes.
Cable-Assisted Flexibility: The polypropylene catheter is reinforced with an internal cable and a flexible distal tip, allowing it to navigate the tight internal anatomy of an endoscope without causing friction damage to the channel walls.
Efficient Debris Removal: Equipped with 14 rows of durable nylon bristles on each end to maximize the mechanical removal of biofilm and organic residue.
Single-Use/Disposable: Specifically designed to be discarded after one reprocessing cycle to ensure clinical hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.

Primary Uses
Manual Endoscope Reprocessing: Used during the pre-cleaning and manual cleaning phases before the scope enters high-level disinfection (HLD).
Narrow-Channel Maintenance: Best suited for endoscopes with smaller internal diameters where larger 5 mm or 6 mm brushes would provide too much resistance.
Comprehensive Component Cleaning: One end is typically used for the long biopsy or umbilicus channels, while the other can be used to scrub valve seats, ports, and detachable connectors.
