More than 30 years experience in the medical field

The Company
Schölly does not only stand for carefully engi-
neered high-end products. We are also commit-
ted to corporate ethics and responsibility in dea-
ling with our employees, customers, business
partners, suppliers and our home town
Denzlingen alike.
For more than 30 years now, we have been
maintaining a corporate culture that is both self-
contained and open to inspiration from the out-
side world. Our teams are staffed with professio-
nals who create superior products of utmost reli-
ability, based on future-oriented, well-integrated
designs.
By focusing our creative energy, we can offer
visualization technology that is tailor-made to
the needs of our customers: solutions in sight.

Corporate History
Since its establishment in 1973 our company
has evolved from a single-product manufacturer
to a vendor of high sophisticated visualization
systems. At our Denzlingen site alone, a work-
force of about 200 team members develop and
manufactur a yearly output of next to 13,000
visualization systems. At the same time a net-
work of agencies spans the globe to cater for
our customers’ needs worldwide.
The future will see an increasing miniaturization
of our medical devices, aimed at easing minimal
invasive surgery for patients even further. In
engineering, new fields of application will open
up as modular optical probes converge with
camera imaging and video archiving technologies.

Our Program
Visualization for medical and engineering applications is our core business. All products made by
Schölly are targeted at making concealed structures visible and accessible for non-destructive/mini-
mal invasive treatment, using technology such as micro-optics, fiberoptics and electronics.
We design, manufacture and sell all components dedicated to that purpose independently from the
endoscope, almost a classic in our product line, to highly complex visualization systems.
Long-term partnerships with OEM customers and users promote the continuous improvement and
further development of our products as well as research into new fields of application. Our flexibility
and readiness to adapt to other mindsets and markets has added much to our credit with partners
worldwide.

Reliability & Precision
To support minimal invasive medical applications we offer visualization systems for diagnostics and
surgery. The main goal here is to anticipate specific customer requirements and translate them into
marketable and cost-effective products and systems.
By continuously investing in the improvements of existing products, we guarantee to our customers
optimal product quality and make their life easier. This means that our endoscopes and fiber-optic
systems must meet extremely exacting demands in terms of image quality, reliability and corrosion
resistance in order to perform well under the extreme conditions of use that are so frequently met in
medical applications.

Prevention of Damage

The consideration of critical areas of an endoscope helps to prevent damages.

Distal End

2 Critical Area 2
Endoscope sheath

3 Critical Area 3
Changeover
Sheath/Main body

I-06 SER 719

Prevention of Damage

Critical Areas of an Endoscope
Critical parts of a scope are the optical systems, which have to withstand heavy mechanical stress
depending on application:

Examples:
Critical Area 1: Distal end of the endoscope
In this area defects can occur by shaver use and HF powered systems if these
are in contact with the endoscope. This is often the case in orthopedic and
gynecological applications.

Critical Area 2: Endoscope sheath
Sometimes heavy damages occur at the endoscope sheath if the scope is
wrongly inserted in a working channel. The longer the working length of the
endoscope is, the higher the risk is for such damage.
Damage often occurs when the scope is inserted into the sheath. If the inser-
tion is not done axially but radially to the optic sheath, care should be taken
during this procedure.

Critical Area 3: Changeover sheath/Main body
It is in most cases a consequence of the above-mentioned problem
(compare critical area 2). Additionally compressions of the sheath to the main
body occur what is often to attribute to improper use during
decontamination.

SER 720 I-06

Assembly of Light Guide Cable

Light Guide Cables
Schölly light guide cables are not glued at the light source end but compressed and optically treated.
They are able to withstand breakdown voltages of 5 kV and temperatures up to 300°C.

Optical fibers Silicone tube Steel thread Nylon protection

Bending radius

Chain reactions may occur - especially if the light entrance area is damaged.
Example: The capillary space between the fibers of the most used endoscopes are polished, ground
and filled in with the appropriate medical adhesive.

Cleaning with common cleaning procedures
==> Washouts in the spaces between the fibers
==> Extension of the surface at the point of incidence
==> Disproportionate heating at the input through the extended surface
==> Burns at the distal end with significant loss of transmission and change of colour
==> Gas evolution of adhesive residues

Technology Sterilization

Sterilization - Our Main Competence

All Schölly endoscopes with AUTOCLAVE mark are according to WHO-recom-
mendation suitable for steam sterilization - 18 min. at 134 °C/273 °F.

Since the outbreak of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, many scientists have been busy to find out how
to avoid the risk of transmission of the Spongiform Encephalopathy (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or BSE)
during invasive operations particularly in the field of neurosurgery, spinal surgery or in case of oph-
thalmological surgical operations. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has now published a report
with recommendations regarding the handling of surgical instruments and endoscopes in view of ste-
rility (WHO/CDS/CSR/APH/2000.3 http://www.who.int/csr/en).
According to this report, it is advisable to use disposable material. If not possible or too costly, the
autoclaving and chemical sterilization are considered to be most effective methods in order to main-
tain the heat resistance and reusability of endoscopes. In this context, the mandatory holding time
with a defined maximum temperature (18-20 minutes with 134 °C) is a new and technically very com-
plex requirement for rigid endoscopes. Schölly Fiberoptic GmbH, having its core competence exactly
in this field, offers now all autoclavable rigid endoscopes with validation concerning this new requi-
rement of 18-20 minutes with a temperature of 134 °C.
As an additional innovation Schölly offers as one of few suppliers autoclavable, flexible endoscopes
with a minimal diameter of 0.35 mm up. These endoscopes have an optical system with 3.000 -
50.000 pixels and additional illumination fibers for illumination. These have been specified according

New sterilization methods require a constructive consideration in scope manufacturing.

In times of increased infections new sterilization methods have been developed to assure a safe and
fast sterilization process. Those sterilization methods which do not have the major disadvantages of
gas sterilization (residues, environmental compatibility), are finding more and more acceptance in
hospitals.

The adavantages are evident:
• Short cycle times (usually < 75 minutes)
• No cooling cycles
• No toxic residues, therefore no burden for the persons in charge
• Remaining humidity < 5 %, not corrosive
• Virucide, sporicide, tuberculocide, bacteriozide, fungizide
• Suitable for thermolabile materials, as temperature is < 56 °C
• Process controlled

Schölly endoscopes have shown their material compatibility for these application methods by passing
several tests.
The effects of the sterilizing process have to be documented by the user.

Technologie Sterilization

STERIS® from Steris Corporation

STERIS® is a „cold“ liquid sterilization. Acetic peroxide is mixed with sterile water, the instruments to
be sterilized are washed with solvents. After twelve minutes of dipping the instrument in the sterili-
zing solution, the solution is pumped out and the instrument is rinsed with sterile water four times.
The working channel of rigid/flexible endoscopes can be attached to a pressurized fitting for sterili-
zation.

STERRAD® from Johnson & Johnson

STERRAD® is a low temperature-plasma sterilization. The hydrogen peroxide dioxide is transported
from the magnetic field to the plasma phase.

One cycle consists of following phases
• Phase of vacuum: evacuate up to a pressure of 0.3 mbar.
• Phase of injection: 2 ml liquid H2O2 are injected into the vacuum.
• Phase of diffusion: app. 50 minutes are necessary for the homogeneous distribution of hydrogen
peroxide in the chamber, the pressure increases to 7 - 11 mbar.
• Phase of plasma (app. 20 Min.) : Production of primary plasma; secondary plasma follows;
actual phase of sterilization; end products are water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
• Phase of pressure compensation: Adjustment of atmospheric pressure in the chamber.

The methods of STERRAD® and STERIS® help to avoid high temperatures on optical systems. This
results in a very gentle sterilization method. Nevertheless, the use of peracedic acid as well as hydro-
gen peroxide may cause a more intensive wear of the endoscope surfaces (washout, bleeching
effects). However, these effects do not have any influence on the lifetime of the endoscopes. It is main-
ly a „cosmetical“ effect. These effects have such a minor influence on the lifetime of the endoscopes
compared to the effects of high temperature methods.

The effecs of the sterilizing process have to be documented by the user.

All Schölly endoscopes are material compatible regarding following process:

• Soaking in disinfectant which is approved for instrument disinfection
• Gas sterilization: formaldehyde, ethylene oxide
• STERRAD® und STERIS® methods
• Autoclavation 18 - 20 minutes at 134 °C according to WHO-recommendation, see label
