Introducing the Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System. Taking high level disinfection (HLD) to the NEXT step in safety for your GI Department.

Finally, a safe and efficient alternative to commonly-used high level disinfection (HLD) solutions and processors.

• Safe for your staff

• Safe for your patients

• Safe and efficient for your GI Department

The Reliance™ EPS Endoscope Processing System and the Reliance™ DG oxidizing chemistry offer a safe alternative to aldehydes in a validated system designed specifically for use in the GI Department.

The Reliance EPS processor and Reliance DG chemistry are designed and validated to perform together. The value of a total system:

Safe for your Staff

• Eliminate staff exposure hazards associated with toxic glutaraldehdye and other aldehyde-based HLD solutions by utilizing a dry oxidizing chemistry
• Greatly diminishes chemical exposure and requires no special venting, measuring, mixing or pouring

Safe for your Patients

• Removes the risk of aldehyde-induced colitis
• Ensures the efficacy of every cycle by using a single-use chemistry within a validated system
• Automated thermal and chemical self-decontamination cycles help prevent biofilm from forming in the processor

Safe and Efficient for your GI Department

• Safely accelerates throughput with an easy-to-load, virtually connector-less dual scope automated processor
• No more processing scopes in the same HLD solution 2, 3 or even 40 times
• Optional washing phases augment required manual scope pre-cleaning. During the washing phase, Klenzyme® Enzymatic Cleaner is automatically injected into the heated (48ºC/118ºF) water

It’s the next step in Safety.

The Next Step in Safety

Take the Journey

The Choice is Yours:

Infection control is a growing public health issue, along with increased concerns associated with the safety of commonly used aldehyde-based disinfectants. You now have a choice for high level disinfection of your semi-critical devices that can help you provide optimal patient care. This is the next step in safety.

STERIS, the market leader in technologies to prevent infection and contamination, has engineered a safe, standardized high-level disinfection system for GI endoscopes. The Reliance EPS processor is the direct result of our over fifteen years of experience with low temperature liquid chemical oxidative chemistries for the clinical environment. This proven oxidative chemistry, which generates peracetic acid (PAA) during the processing cycle, is a key component of the system.

The Reliance EPS processor in conjunction with the Reliance™ DG oxidative chemistry has been proven safe and effective in achieving consistent high level disinfection. And it is safe for your patients, your staff, and your scopes.

Consistent and repeatable results in a standardized, automated process

• The Reliance EPS processor and Reliance DG chemistry have been designed and validated together
• Critical process parameters are monitored and verified
• Provides printed process documentation of every phase
• The Reliance™ PI Process Indicator provides verification that an effective dose of peracetic acid is generated with every processing cycle

Self-contained, single-use oxidative chemistry

• Reliance DG oxidative chemistry is a dry, pre-measured, single-use germicide
• High level disinfection solution is automatically generated during processing
• Safe, effective, and affordable alternative to aldehyde-based scope processing
• No more processing scopes in a solution used 2, 3 or even 40 times

Reliance™ DG high level disinfection solution is safe for scopes

• Device compatibility testing program has verified process compatibility with endoscopes
• Reliance DG formulation contains buffers, anticorrosives and chelators to make it safe for use with delicate and expensive flexible endoscopes

Unique “blue boot” design virtually eliminates need for connectors, helping to improve department efficiency

• Compatible with a majority of popular flexible GI endoscopes
• All compatible endoscopes are listed specifically in labeling
• Few connectors are needed, making loading fast and simple
• Processes one or two scopes at once within 30 minutes for high throughput
• Eliminates the need for many connectors used in other systems
