Best practices for cleaning, sterilizing and storing endoscopic instruments.
Proper maintenance of endoscopic equipment extends instrument life and ensures patient safety.

Autoclavable telescopes should be sterilized at 134°C. Use sterile lubricant on moving parts periodically.
Store endoscopes in protective cases to prevent lens damage. Keep a maintenance log for each instrument.
