The VD-UVE is the world's first endoscope channel inspection system combining white light, 365nm UV, and 405nm UV illumination — revealing biological residues invisible to standard inspection.
"Studies show that up to 25% of clinically used endoscopes harbor residual contamination after standard reprocessing that is undetectable under white light."
— Alfa et al., American Journal of Infection Control

The Problem
White Light Alone Is Not Enough
ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 mandates visual channel inspection before and after reprocessing. Yet every inspection system on the market today uses only white light — the same light that cannot detect dried protein residues, biofilm, or organic contamination on channel walls.
Invisible Under White Light
Dried protein residues, biofilm, and organic matter are transparent to white LED illumination — the standard used by all competing inspection systems.
Fluorescent Under UV
Biological residues fluoresce brilliantly under 365nm and 405nm UV illumination, making contamination that is invisible under white light immediately obvious.
Regulatory Mandate
AAMI ST91:2021 Section 9.3 requires visual inspection of all internal channels. The VD-UVE is the only system that fulfills this requirement at the highest level of detection.
The Solution
Triple-Light Detection.
Nothing Hidden.
The VD-UVE combines three illumination sources in a single probe — white light for structural inspection, 365nm UV for protein and organic residue detection, and 405nm UV for biofilm and TASS (Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome) precursor detection.
The Protocol
Three Steps. Complete Confidence.
The VD-UVE inspection protocol follows AAMI ST91:2021 Section 9.3 requirements across three sequential illumination phases — each revealing what the previous cannot detect.
White Light Pass
Insert the probe and advance through the full channel length under white LED illumination. Inspect for gross debris, physical damage, discoloration, and particulate matter. Document findings.
365nm UV Pass
Switch to 365nm UV mode. Advance slowly — protein residues, blood, and organic matter fluoresce blue-white. Any positive fluorescence means the scope must return to reprocessing immediately.
405nm UV Pass
Switch to 405nm UV mode. Bacterial porphyrins — the molecular signature of biofilm — fluoresce orange-red under 405nm. This is the only non-destructive method to detect biofilm in situ.
Who It's For
Built for the People Protecting Patients
SPD Managers
Ensure every scope leaving your department meets ST91 visual inspection requirements — with documentation to prove it.
Infection Control Practitioners
Identify contamination sources before they reach patients. The VD-UVE reveals what ATP bioluminescence testing cannot localize.
GI Lab Directors
Protect your department from Joint Commission citations and CMS findings related to endoscope reprocessing deficiencies.
Hospital Administrators
Reduce liability exposure from endoscope-associated infections. The VD-UVE creates an auditable inspection record for every scope.
Regulatory Compliance
Built for AAMI ST91:2021
The ANSI/AAMI ST91:2021 standard is the definitive guidance for flexible endoscope reprocessing in the United States. Section 9.3 mandates visual inspection of all internal channels. The Endodetex VD-UVE is the only system designed from the ground up to meet and exceed this requirement.
