These cabinets are typically manufactured using materials (e.g., stainless steel, polypropylene, acrylic) that permit ease of cleaning. Endoscope drying storage cabinets circulate clean air using a high-efficiency particulate-air (HEPA) filter, exhausting the air back into the room through an activated carbon filter. In addition to circulating air within the cabinet, continuous filtered air is forced through the endoscope channels to purge water eliminating bacterial proliferation during vertical storage from their control body. Additionally, some drying storage cabinets allow for user and endoscope tracking and data export to help prevent endoscope handling by unauthorized personnel, to track compliance with endoscope management policies, to facilitate contact tracing in cases of possible cross-contamination, and to prevent theft.
