Common Causes:
- Improper care & handling, such as distal tip being dropped, can cause the distal to crack or chip.
- Improper or inadequate storage areas.
- Insufficient cleaning of distal end.
Prevention Methods:
- Carefully place scopes into storage areas. Impact with hard surfaces will cause damage to distal tip.
- Use sinks and soak basins large enough to prevent over-coiling.
- Avoid stacking endoscopes at any time.
- Maintain control over the distal end, especially during transport and cleaning.
