About the Course:

The Endoscope Inspection microcredential equips learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to safely and systematically inspect flexible and rigid endoscopes in healthcare settings. Through immersive VR simulations, learners will practice identifying endoscope components, conducting visual and functional inspections, detecting signs of damage or wear, and determining whether an endoscope is suitable for further use or requires attention.

The course emphasizes endoscope identification, component inspection, visual examination, functional checks, detection of defects and abnormalities, assessment of equipment condition, and proper documentation of inspection findings to support equipment safety, infection prevention, and patient care.

For broader endoscope handling and care, also explore our endoscope care and handling training.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the importance of proper endoscope processing in preventing healthcare-associated infections. 
  • Identify major components, types, and accessories of flexible and rigid endoscopes. 
  • Differentiate between cleaning, disinfection, high-level disinfection, and sterilization requirements for endoscopic devices. 
  • Perform step-by-step endoscope cleaning, inspection, and processing procedures using VR-based scenarios. 
  • Apply proper handling, drying, storage, and transportation techniques to maintain endoscope integrity. 
  • Follow infection control guidelines, manufacturer instructions, and regulatory standards related to endoscope processing. 
  • Recognize errors such as inadequate cleaning, damaged components, improper drying, incorrect storage, and processing failures. 

Strengthen your cleaning and decontamination skills for safer reusable device processing.

This Endoscope Inspection training is delivered through our LMS and is available as both web-based and immersive VR training.

Endoscope Inspection Training for Sterile Processing Technicians

Endoscope inspection practice for defect detection and device readiness

At ImmerseLearn, we prepare Sterile Processing Technicians to safely process, inspect, and manage endoscopes while following strict infection prevention and quality standards. This microcredential strengthens learners’ ability to reduce contamination risks, identify processing errors, protect equipment integrity, and support safe patient care operations. 

Endoscope Identification & Components−
Engage in VR-based scenarios to identify flexible and rigid endoscopes, understand their components and functions, recognize accessories, and determine the appropriate processing requirements for different devices.
Cleaning & Decontamination+
Explore interactive modules that demonstrate point-of-use treatment, leak testing, manual cleaning, flushing, brushing, rinsing, and other essential steps required to effectively remove contaminants before further processing.
Inspection, Disinfection & Sterilization+
Learn how to inspect endoscopes for damage, verify cleanliness, perform appropriate high-level disinfection or sterilization procedures, and confirm processing effectiveness before the device is released for use.
Drying, Storage & Quality Control+
Practice proper drying, handling, storage, transportation, documentation, and quality verification procedures to maintain processed endoscopes and prevent recontamination.

By completing this microcredential, learners will gain the skills and confidence to identify, clean, inspect, process, store, and manage endoscopes while following infection prevention and industry standards to support safe, effective, and efficient sterile processing operations. 

This Endoscope Inspection training builds broader instrument reprocessing and sterilization readiness for sterile processing workflows.

Apply PPE use, infection control practices, and proper unloading and transport techniques after cycle
completion. Understand workflow principles that prevent contamination, packaging compromise, and
handling errors.
