Healthmark's ACF-001 Helps Eliminate Manual Processing Steps

Healthmark Industries Co., Inc. announces availability of the ACF-001 in its endoscopy product line. The ACF-001 is designed to inject specific volumes of water through channels of flexible endoscopes and other lumened devices when testing with the ChannelCheck. It will not only automate the injection of water for sampling, but allow sampling of the entire suction/biopsy circuit of flexible endoscopes - even when laying horizontally. The ACF-001 comes with one solution source tube, a large and small delivery tube, as well as the following selectable sampling solution volumes: 7mL, 10mL and 20mL. The compact unit is equipped with a two-position selector switch for choosing the correct delivery tube line, and features an easy to navigate digital display screen. It also includes mountable hardware, a 250 mL graduated cylinder and an endoscope channel block.
