CAUTION:
(Automated Reprocessing) Unless the AER/WD has validated channel monitoring capability for device-
specific scope model.
• prior to “automated reprocessing” check and confirm the patency of any lumens/channels to ensure
that all internal channels are unblocked and/or unclogged
• prior to use of any AER/WD confirm the integrity of all channel tubes and recommended channel clean-
ing adapters
• once tubing sets are connected to the appropriate channels, check the tubing to confirm that there are
no kinks or crimps that could restrict flow of solution throughout the endoscope
• (if the unit allows) during reprocessing check and confirm that reprocessing solutions are exiting
expected channel ports
Failure to adhere to the above recommendations could result in inadequate cleaning, disinfection (or
sterilization) of and/or improper removal of residues from all instrument channels/surfaces.
