Description
The Avanos 60218 is a CB-X™ II Dual-Ended Cleaning Brush. As part of the "CB-X II" family, it is a high-efficiency tool designed for the manual cleaning and reprocessing of flexible endoscopes.
The dual-ended design allows a technician to clean multiple parts of the scope—such as the long internal channels and the smaller valve seats—using a single device, which streamlines the reprocessing workflow.
Key Features
Dual-Ended Configuration: Features brushes on both ends. This design allows for a "one-pass" cleaning efficiency; one end is typically optimized for the long biopsy or umbilicus channels, while the other is used for scrubbing ports and valve seats.
5 mm Bristle Diameter: This specific model is sized with 5 mm bristles, making it the "standard" choice for most adult gastrointestinal endoscopes (such as gastroscopes and colonoscopes).
Cable-Assisted Maneuverability: The internal polypropylene catheter is reinforced with a cable assist and a flexible distal tip. This ensures the brush can navigate the internal loops and tight bends of a scope without buckling or scratching the delicate channel walls.
14 Rows of Bristles: The nylon bristles are arranged in 14 rows to provide maximum surface contact, ensuring the thorough removal of biofilm, organic debris, and enzymatic cleaners.
Non-Sterile & Single-Use: Designed to be discarded after one cleaning cycle to prevent the risk of cross-contamination and to maintain strict infection control standards.
