Necessary Action Items: Preparing your Medivators Reprocessor Post COVID-19
GI Professional,
For more than a month, facilities across the Country have been forced to delay needed endoscopic procedures. Federal, State, and Local Governments are creating plans to reopen the Country and some localities have already begun to allow elective outpatient procedures to resume.
We at MedService Repair (www.MedServiceRepair.com) pride ourselves on living up to our Company motto: Good Health for your Patients. Good Health for your Practice.
The following lists provide steps you can take now to ensure your Medivators Endoscope Reprocessors are ready to function when your facility begins to resume procedures. If your Endoscope Reprocessor is not ready, your ability to perform procedures may be disrupted and you may need to further delay procedures. We have included guides for all Medivators Endoscope Reprocessor Models.
If you have any questions about the steps below or if you have an immediate need for Service, Loaners, Filters, or other support for your Endoscope Reprocessor, visit us at www.MedServiceRepair.com, call us at (800) 315-9118, or email us at orders@MedServiceRepair.com.
