rigid scopes

[hunterpl]

We recently started to steam sterilize our rigid cystoscopes (from a certain manufacturer). We have the manufacturers instructions for steam sterilization and we are following them.
If anyone else out there is doing so, are you or did you notice an increase in repairs and did you identify it to be the steam sterilization?
Please provide any relevant information.
Thank you.

What kind of repairs are you having to make? Are they related to handling issues? Are you sterlizing them in rigid containers or just wrapping them? I recommend rigid containers with inserts to keep the scopes separate and stable.
