What Is Endoscope Reprocessing Software?
Endoscope reprocessing software is a digital system that tracks and documents each step of the scope cleaning, disinfection, and storage process. These platforms standardize the cleaning process in order to reduce manual work, verify required steps, and maintain consistent, audit-ready records for surveys and internal quality checks.
With reprocessing software, teams can:
✓ Follow standardized workflows
✓ Maintain standardized digital documentation
✓ Reduce reprocessing errors and patient safety risks

How Reprocessing Software Supports the Scope Workflow
Endoscope reprocessing involves several critical phases. Software ties these steps together, creating visibility and ensuring every requirement is completed and recorded correctly.
Tracking & Workflow Visibility
Software tracks scopes throughout the cleaning cycle, confirming that required steps are completed in the proper, validated sequence. Real-time workflow visibility helps teams prevent delays, misplaced scopes, and incomplete processing.
Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER) & High-Level Disinfection (HLD) Data Capture
Systems connected to AERs automatically pull cycle data, verify HLD completion, and document all cycle parameters for workflow consistency. This supports reliable disinfection practices and simplifies reviews across the entire reprocessing lifecycle.
Documentation & Audit Trails
Digital reprocessing tools have logs to store timestamps, operators, cycle results, and storage details. These records help teams stay aligned with AAMI ST91, Joint Commission and DNV expectations, and internal quality policies.

Compliance & Quality Considerations
Compliance depends on showing that each reprocessing step was completed, from leak testing through high level disinfection and storage. Manual documentation makes it difficult to confirm this and to give surveyors a clear record of how scopes were handled.
Reprocessing software captures each step automatically. Teams can review cycle histories, verify HLD results, and demonstrate that scopes were processed and stored in accordance with AAMI ST91, Joint Commission and DNV standards.
Consistent digital records help teams stay prepared for surveys and reduce the risk of reprocessing gaps.
