Automatic endoscope reprocessing equipment can be expensive to maintain but short cuts are just not acceptable and can lead to a safety concerns for patients, staff and the businesses who use them. The detergents, cleaning tools and AER filters needed to keep your AER in optimum operating order can obviously be bought from the original manufacturers of these units. But sometimes those parts and products come at a premium price compared to other resources for such products. The cost of AER Filters, detergents, disinfectants and other related supplies have to be considered when calculating the actual cost of operating these innovative machines on a regular basis.
Some believe purchasing the OEM replacement parts are always the best way to keep your equipment working at the optimum levels. And while this may be the case in some instances, it definitely is not the case all of the time. Fortunately there are companies that make high quality replacement parts for almost all of the major brands of Endoscopic scope reprocessors.Take for instance the 1 Micron AER replacement filter that fits the Medivators – Cantel CER Optima. This Medivator Cantel replacement AER Filter can be bought here on the MedServiceRepair.com web site at a significant savings over most original manufacturer's comparable products. And it performance levels are on par with the OEM original part number CF01-0017. It's the same 1.0 micron nominal rated sediment filter and is the first of the two stage filtration assembly. The fit, as you would imagine is the same high quality fit just like the original unit as its replacement. And it's recommended to be changed out at least every three months or as needed based on other factors like water quality.
So why not save on overhead by taking advantage of aftermarket non-OEM high quality parts for your AER. Saving where you are able to is just good business sense and makes the cost of following the rigorous replacement schedules outlined by the manufacturers for these filters less painful on your balance sheet.
