2. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

MOLE Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) Borescope offers features to visualize structural damage, foreign material, moisture, organic soil, and more inside scopes or surgical instruments with small lumens. Flexible endoscopes are highly versatile and useful medical instruments, and their proper reprocessing is critical to patient health and safety as well as any other high-end surgical instruments. The value of routine visual inspection and surveillance of these high-tech instruments for the operation room and GI is a must to visually detect abnormalities inside those lumens. The time investment and training necessary for borescope inspection have been cited in several studies as a barrier preventing implementation. However, with the help of the NuTrace MOLE and artificial intelligence (AI) the process is streamlined, enhancing the value of borescope inspections of medical scopes, flexible, rigid working channels, lumens, etc. See attached Technical Specifications for spec details.
