• The routine maintenance schedule recommends replacing the 0.2-micron water filter every 6 months
or sooner, depending on the pre-filtration system and the quality of the incoming water. Never use a
nominal 0.2 micron water filter.
• Incoming water supplied (upstream of the external pre-filtration system) should be shut-off at the end of
every work day. Ensure this water supply is turned on prior to operating the reprocessor.
• The
pre-filtration system should be monitored for excessive pressure drop indicating blocked filter
membran
es. If this occurs replace the water filter.
Chemicals
The CER OPTIMA
®
endoscope reprocessing system is designed for use with RAPICIDE
®
High-Level
Disinfectant, Glutaraldehyde disinfectant, or Ortho-phthaladehyde (also known as OPA) disinfectant. Refer to
the American National Standard recommended practice titled,
Chemical Sterilants and High Level Disinfectants:
A guide to Selection and Use
(AAMI TIR7:1999) and/or
Safe Handling and Biological Decontamination of
Reusable Medical Devices in Health Care Facilities and in Nonclinical Settings
(AAMI/ANSI ST35:2003).
These documents are available from the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
The CER OPTIMA also allows the use of detergents for endoscope washing, or 70% Ethyl Alcohol and Isopropyl
Alcohol for end-of-cycle endoscope drying.
For all chemicals used within the CER OPTIMA endoscope reprocessing system, refer to the respective chemical
labeling, directions-for-use (DFU) and/or material safety data sheet (MSDS) for chemistry constituents, as well
as for safety and handling guidelines. These documents should be displayed and stored near the CER OPTIMA
endoscope reprocessing system for easy access in the event of a chemical spill or emergency resulting in contact
with any chemical that is considered hazardous.
In case of an emergency in which eye or skin contact, or inhalation occurs, such as release of toxic or pathogenic
material, or leakage from a disinfectant container, or detergent (alkaline, acidic, non-enymatic or enzymatic)
container, always refer to the manufacturer’s labeling, directions for use and/or Materials Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS), for first aid measures, accidental release measures and exposure controls/personal protection. Call the
emergency telephone number located on the MSDS if additional manufacturer’s information is needed.
Detergent Solution
If the user decides to incorporate a pre-wash in the reprocessing cycle, MEDIVATORS recommends the use of
a medical-grade detergent solution which is bacteriostatic, low foaming, free-rinsing and having a neutral pH.
Caution!
Never use household detergent in the reprocessor.
Disinfectant Solution
The CER OPTIMA endoscope reprocessing system is designed for use with RAPICIDE High-Level Disinfectant
(HLD), Glutaraldehyde HLD, or Ortho-phthaladehyde (also known as OPA) HLD.
