Endoscope Washer Machine

The issue of controlling infections in health care centers is counted as one of the main parameter s in medical services. Using medical equipment and special devices can help to control and present different services in medical fields. Endoscope washer machines are counted as high consumption devices in laboratories and lab centers. Because of entering the body of patients and using over and over, Endoscope washer machines do washing and disinfecting automatically based on a plan. Redesigning the body of Endoscope machine with the purpose of improvement in usability and usage process, increasing efficiency, increasing ergonomic design and production considerations is conducted. In addition, Improvement of form, aesthetic, coordination of the device and environment are the criteria of design in the design process.

Challenges of designing the product

Using the vacuum forming as a manufacturing trend
Dropping volume of the disinfection sink to decrease the disinfectants
Changing external form of the product and not changing the structure and internal components to reduce costs
Designing electrical mechanism of the door of the sink
Designing the sink to emit water completely after washing and increasing efficiency

Properties of the final design

Integration of body and door of the Endoscope washer machine with the purpose of creating a coherent gestalt
Using steel material for lateral surfaces
The possibility of having access to the internal components for servicing the machine
Increasing resistance for structure of the sink
Improving affordance and ergonomic design for ease of use and decreasing touching and hand contamination
Using a lighting sensor to decrease touching and transferring contamination
Improvement of form in the product to create visual identity which is developmental in other products
Considering different possibilities related to repairing and maintenance of the product
Using vacuum forming trend and sheet metal work for production
