Endoscope Drying & Storage Compliance Checklist

Use this checklist to evaluate whether an endoscope drying cabinet meets key requirements from ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 and other leading clinical guidelines.

Compliance
Requirement		 Guideline Reference Evaluation Questions Standard
Met?
Scope Stored Vertically ST91 11.2.1 “stored vertically, the insertion tube should be as straight as possible, with the distal tip hanging freely.” ST91 11.2.1 “When flexible and semi-rigid endoscopes are hung in the vertical position, coiling or kinking is prevented.”
  • Are scopes stored vertically to promote proper drying?
  • Are insertion tubes kept as straight as possible?
 ✔ Yes
Hanging Freely
Without Coiling		 ST91 11.2.2 “should be stored in a cabinet that is of sufficient height, width, and depth to allow flexible endoscopes to hang vertically without coiling and without any components touching the bottom of the cabinet.”
  • Do scopes hang freely without touching other scopes
    or the cabinet bottom, preventing contamination?
  • Is cabinet size sufficient to prevent coiling or contact?
 ✔ Yes
Channel Drying +
Forced Air		 ST91 8.2.5.1 “Flexible endoscopes with channels should be dried for a minimum of 10-minutes with pressure-regulated forced instrument air or a minimum of HEPA-filtered air.” ST91 8.2.5.2 Use pressure-regulated instrument air or HEPA-filtered air to dry the channels in accordance with the manufacturer’s written IFU.
  • Are automated drying cycles (minimum 10 minutes)
    in accordance with IFUs?
  • Is airflow pressure-regulated to prevent scope damage?
 ✔ Yes
(with Dri-Scope Aid®)
HEPA-Filtered
Positive Pressure		 ST91 11.2.2.2 Cabinets that enable circulation of HEPA-filtered or instrument air through the cabinet at… positive pressure.
  • Does the cabinet maintain positive pressure?
  • Is HEPA-filtered air (99.97% at 0.3 microns) used?
 ✔ Yes
Active Airflow ST91 11.2.1 Endoscopes should be stored suspended vertically or horizontally in a cabinet designed for storage in a way to allow circulation of air in accordance with the endoscope manufacturer’s written IFU (e.g., pressure of air flow through channels, diameter of endoscope coil).
  • Is there continuous airflow throughout the cabinet
    during drying cycles?
  • Does it meet drying vs. storage cabinet requirements?
 ✔ Yes
Easy Scope
Identification		 ST91 11.2.3 “Protocols should be developed to help ensure that users can readily identify an endoscope that has been processed and is ready for patient use.”
  • Can staff easily identify scopes ready for use?
  • Are visual indicators or tracking systems used?
 ✔ Yes
(with the
Dri-Scope Aid®
Tracker system)
Single-Use Connectors Best Practice
  • Are disposable connectors used to prevent contamination?
  • Do they simplify setup and reduce handling errors?
 ✔ Yes
(with Dri-Scope Aid®)
Clinical Documentation ASGE 2016 Guideline “Drying the interior of an endoscope should use a sufficiently prolonged flow of medical air through all accessible channels, ideally simultaneously and for at least 10 minutes, for greatest efficiency.”
Per the study, “Multisociety guideline on reprocessing flexible GI endoscopes: 2016 update.”
  • Does the system record drying time, airflow parameters,
    and cycle completion for compliance documentation?
  • Can data be exported for audits or compliance tracking?
 ✔ Yes
(with the
Dri-Scope Aid®
Tracker system)
Internal Lumen Drying ST91 8.2.3.2 n) Endoscopes that have completed an HLD cycle in an AER should undergo additional drying internally with instrument air to remove moisture, dried externally (see 8.2.5), and then stored in accordance with Section 11 to avoid contamination.
  • Are internal channels actively dried post-HLD?
  • Are direct air connections provided for lumens?
 ✔ Yes
(with Dri-Scope Aid®)
Pressure Monitoring ST91 8.2.5.2 Use pressure-regulated instrument air or HEPA-filtered air to dry the channels in accordance with the manufacturer’s written IFU.
  • Is constant flow rate through channels monitored ?
  • Is there a visual or digital display?
 ✔ Yes
(with Dri-Scope Aid®)
Tracking & Audit Trail ST91 11.2.4.1 The accepted maximum safe storage time (previously referred to as “hang time” or shelf life) for processed endoscopes before they can no longer be considered safe for patient use is not well defined. There are a limited number of studies addressing this issue. The available data suggest that the risk of contamination is reduced when storage is performed according to the endoscope and storage cabinet manufacturers’ written IFU.
  • Is scope storage time (“hang time”) tracked?
  • Are alerts provided when reprocessing is needed?
 ✔ Yes
(with the
Dri-Scope Aid®
Tracker system)
Cabinet Material
& Cleanability		 Best Practice
  • Are materials non-porous and medical-grade?
  • Are surfaces easy to clean and disinfect?
 ✔ Yes
Multi-Guideline
Compliance		 AORN, SGNA and ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 guidelines
  • Does the cabinet align with major industry standards?
  • Is documentation available upon request?
 ✔ Yes
