Chapter 3 Cleaning, Disinfection and
Sterilization Procedures
ALL channels of the endoscope, including the elevator wire
channel where existing, MUST be cleaned and high-level
disinfected or sterilized during EVERY reprocessing cycle,
even if the channels were not used during the previous
patient procedure. Otherwise, insufficient cleaning and
disinfection or sterilization of the endoscope may pose an
infection control risk to the patient and/or operators
performing the next procedure with the endoscope.
• Do not coil the endoscope’s insertion tube or universal cord
with a diameter of less than 12 cm. The endoscope can be
damaged if coiled too tightly.
• For proper reprocessing results, do not coil the insertion tube
or the universal cord with a diameter of less than 40 cm. If
the diameter is less than 40 cm, it will be difficult to insert the
channel cleaning brush (BW-20T).
