Question 6

How do I know when it is time to replace my SafeGuide® Over the Guidewire Esophageal Dilators?

Accepted Answer

Replace SafeGuide® Over the Guidewire Esophageal Dilators when you notice:

Loss of flexibility
Cuts, cracks or nicks
Stretching in the inner lumen
Faded or missing markings
Curved dilator or curled tapered tip
Expired or missing expiration dates

Question 7

How do I know when it is time to replace my esophageal bougies?

Accepted Answer

Replace bougies when you notice:

End cap separating from bougie
Cuts, cracks or nicks
Flaking or peeling of the outer coating
Faded or missing markings
Expired or missing expiration dates
Curled tip or loss of flexibility

Question 8

What is the expiration date for bougies and why do they expire?

Accepted Answer

Per product testing, we cannot guarantee the integrity of the outer casing after three years. Results of our product testing have shown that through normal use, care, reprocessing, and storage, the WeightRight® and M-Flex® outer casings may begin to deteriorate after three years, leading to peeling and micro-cracking of the plastic casing containing the tungsten powder.

Some signs of aging and deterioration may be internal; therefore, we rely solely on the expiration dates to determine replacement. This expiration date serves to protect against the risk of cross contamination, prevent the leaking of the tungsten from the outer casing, and to prevent the end cap from pulling away from the bougie. It also serves as our manufacturer’s warranty.

Question 9

What is the difference between M-Flex® and WeightRight® Bougies?

Accepted Answer

The outer casing of the M-Flex bougie is made of silicone so it is autoclavable. The outer casing of the WeightRight bougie is made of PVC and can only be high-level disinfected. Both are tungsten-filled.

Note: WeightRight PVC Bougies have been discontinued.

Question 10

How do I clean my bougies or dilators?

Accepted Answer

For cleaning of all dilators please refer to your Instructions For Use (IFU).

Question 11

How do I dispose of the Tungsten-filled bougies?

Accepted Answer

Tungsten-filled bougies are non-toxic and can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste per facility guidelines.

Question 12

How do your blanket orders work?

Accepted Answer

Blanket orders can simplify ordering and shipping for products that you purchase regularly. Schedule your order to ship monthly or at another regular interval to ensure that you receive your order routinely. If your department requires a shipment earlier than scheduled or is overstocked, call three days prior to your next scheduled shipment and request that the day of shipment be adjusted accordingly.

To protect you from price increases, we hold your pricing firm for the duration of the blanket order. If you want to end your participation in the program, simply give us notice 30 days before your next scheduled shipment.

If you would like to know more about our blanket orders, or if you are interested in placing a blanket order, please contact your Territory Manager.
