A mains electricity (AC-powered) enclosed chamber (the cabinet) designed to dry and store flexible endoscopes and their accessories in an environment that prevents bacterial growth. It uses high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) inducted into the device and typically heated to 37? Celsius so that the pre-sterilized endoscopes are dried both inside and out. They are then stored within the cabinet under conditions to prevent re-contamination (e.g., under ultraviolet (UV) light) so that they can be directly used without a need for disinfection. It is equipped with a door(s) and shelves to accommodate multiple endoscopes, and is electronically controlled to regulate the drying/storage processes.
