Total Scope
Endoscopes Made Functional

Ann Glavin, CEO, Total ScopeAnn Glavin, CEO
A long-standing, minimally invasive medical procedure, endoscopy is one of the best screening methods in the gastroenterology space. For the procedure to run smoothly, the endoscopes must be in good condition. Normal wear and tear is no hassle, as it is standard for any equipment to require service and repair at some point in time.

Fast services are often not an option when it comes to repairs. Time and again, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) decide against repairing specific devices, pronouncing their end of life. Total Scope, a medical device repair company, realized the importance of addressing this issue because people’s lives depend on them.

Total Scope, the first ISO13485- certified medical device repair company, dedicated its efforts to providing quick turnaround times for endoscope and surgical camera repairs while maintaining a strong commitment to quality. Flexible and rigid endoscopes, surgical instruments, and mobile instruments are some of its repair specialties.

“We work with our customers to make sure their suite is up and running consistently, and their equipment is working at the highest caliber it’s supposed to be,” says Ann Glavin, CEO of Total Scope.

Long turnaround time of equipment often results in longer patient wait times, and hospitals tend to overbook patients to maintain cash inflow. This ends up hurting hospitals and patients alike, so Total Scope ensures a swift and efficient repair process. Clients can expect major medical equipment repairs in three to five business days and minor repairs in a single day.

It’s typical for a client to require an immediate replacement of a device. While it is a difficult situation, Total Scope’s on-site loaner program makes it look effortless.
When a client enrolls in the program, Total Scope purchases and stores an inventory at the customer’s location that’s accessible anytime.

This is just one of Total Scope’s many beneficial programs for its clients. Its no-cost preventative maintenance program entails clients to free equipment evaluations that serve as an opportunity to be proactive in the repair process.

Most of the damage to endoscopes happens during the storage disinfection process. As part of Total Scope’s customer benefits programs, a specialist trains clients in the proper use and handling of scopes.

Total Scope realizes endoscopy devices must be customizable to fit any healthcare institution, whether huge teaching hospitals or small ambulatory surgery centers. To answer this need, it drummed up the most compact of its designs, a customizable Endocart designed by GI nurses for GI nurses. It has three Endocart models, customizable according to client requirements.

“We don’t want to provide our clients a cookie-cutter solution. We want to give them what they need,” adds Glavin.

Total Scope ensures the repair process is as easy, fast, and efficient as it could be for their customers

Many customers approach Total Scope as their last glimmer of hope. Often, OEMs deem specific equipment irreparable, leaving the customer with no choice but to purchase a new one. The exorbitant rates of medical equipment make it difficult to immediately replace it. Many customers get their equipment repaired by Total Scope to extend the life of their capital equipment.

Along with quality and quick turnaround time, affordability is also a factor that makes Total Scope stand out in the market. To minimize expenses, the team only goes forward with necessary repairs. They conduct frequent market surveys, which help gather up-to-date information to support the pricing structure.

Total Scope’s services are available domestically and overseas. It has successfully delivered the highest quality medical equipment to consumers, making it the preeminent industry leader in the gastroenterology equipment repair space.
