Endoscopes must be stored properly to maintain operation and ensure patient safety. The endoscopic storage cabinet guidelines emphasize the need to dry and store endoscopes in a clean, controlled environment. Cabinets should be designed with appropriate ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and contamination. Sanitize the storage room regularly and make sure each endoscope is properly mounted so it does not touch any surfaces or other devices. Monitoring and recording storage conditions is critical for compliance with health regulations and standards.
