Washing and Disinfection Equipment
The endoscope is compatible with some endoscope reprocessors
recommended by Olympus. Refer to the instruction manual of endoscope
reprocessor for details on operation.
• Thoroughly clean the endoscope as described in Chapter 3,
“Cleaning, Disinfection and Sterilization Procedures” before
cleaning and disinfection of an endoscope in an endoscope
reprocessor. If the endoscope reprocessor is used with an
endoscope with a large amount of debris attached to it,
cleaning and disinfection may pose an infection-control risk
to the patients and/or operators who perform the next
procedure with it. Note that cleaning of the endoscope
becomes difficult if debris is allowed to solidify because of a
delay before cleaning following the procedure. Refer to the
instruction manual of endoscope reprocessor for details.
