Endoscope Repair Status

Process to Send Endoscopy Equipment in for Repair
Carefully box your endoscope/endoscopy equipment:

1. For flexible endoscopes: place the instrument in the padded case it originally came with, then tape the two halves closed with a couple of pieces of packaging tape (to prevent the case from opening during transit)
   If you don't have the original padded case, carefully lay you flexible endoscope in a circle (such as when you place it in a tub for soaking), and wrap it completely in bubble-wrap or foam, and tape all areas where the scope could slip out. Then, place it in a padded box.
2. For rigid endoscopes or other instruments that do not have a padded case, carefully wrap the instrument in bubble-wrap/packaging plastic so that it's cushioned from shock force (such as dropping)
3. Place the protected instrument in a well-padded shipping box (NOTE: It should have a minimum of two (2) inches/five (5) centimeters of space between your instrument and all sides of the box, then space should be filled with packaging material for cushioning)
