Anyone using the new Sterrad NX plasma machine to process the Wolf Uretro Renoscope or any other flexible scopes?
My ASC wants to use the machine to process them, I am hesitant because we lack manufacturer's instructions for plasma gas.
A call to Wolf verified they haven't documented a process verification and have no plans to do so in the near future.
ASP of course says go ahead and gives the diameter vs length formula.
Is that enough for you?

A call from Wolf tech service this morning told me NOT to process their flexible scopes in the NX. They say the materials in their scope have not been validated to be compatable with the gas plasma and to continue the recommended processing with Steris System 1.
