EVIS EXERA GIF/CF/PCF TYPE 160 Series REPROCESSING MANUAL

• When reprocessing an endoscope that has the flexibility

adjustment mechanism, make sure that the insertion tube is
set to the softest condition (indicated by the “



” mark on the

flexibility adjustment ring) before immersing the endoscope in
cleaning/disinfectant solution.
If the endoscope is cleaned and disinfected or sterilized while
the insertion tube is stiff, the endoscope may be damaged.
