2.

Carefully coil the endoscope’s Insertion Tube, and Universal Cord, and 
completely immerse the endoscope in the detergent solution.

Do not coil Insertion Tube and Universal Cord with a 
diameter of less than 12 cm. Equipment damage can result.

3.

Soak the endoscope for 10 hours at the temperature recommended by the 
detergent manufacturer.

4.

Remove the endoscope from detergent solution.

After soaking the endoscope, manually clean the endoscope following the 
standard procedure described in Section 3.5, “Manual Cleaning”, then disinfect 
or sterilize the endoscope following the procedures described in Section 3.6, 
“High Level Disinfection”
 or Section 3.8, “Sterilization”.

3.6

High Level Disinfection

All disinfection steps should be performed with the 
endoscope and all equipment completely immersed. 
Otherwise, disinfectant solution may not adequately contact 
all surfaces of the equipment. As a result, the effectiveness 
of disinfection may be reduced.

After manual cleaning, disinfect the endoscope according to the procedure 
described below.

Equipment Needed

Prepare the following equipment:

• Personal Protective Equipment
• Lint-free Cloth
• Large Basin
• Disinfectant Solution
• All-channel Irrigator
