(2) REPROCESSING SYSTEM

                           

                           

                           

To reprocess a PENTAX single-channel videoscope, first an enzymatic detergent and then a high-level disinfectant 
or sterilant must be exposed to all internal lumens as well as to all external instrument surfaces and scope components 
(air/water valve, suction valve, etc.). Exposure times of detergent and disinfectant/sterilant must be strictly adhered 
to as recommended by each respective manufacuturer. 

                           

Please note that all solution entrance ports and flow pathways are illustrated above. 

                           

                           

CAUTION:

BEFORE IMMERSING:
a) The ‘Red’ ETO gas sterilization venting cap must be taken OFF.
b) The PVE Soaking cap should be securely ON the electrical contacts.

NOTE:

Prior to exposure of all internal channels to an enzymatic detergent and high-level disinfectant (or steri-
lant), all brushable channels should be manually cleaned with cleaning brushes.
