• Endoscopes must be inspected for damage and verified to be in proper working order prior to hookup
connection. If cleaning or leak testing identifies endoscope damage or channels that may be restricted
or obstructed, the endoscope should be repaired before further reprocessing. Connection of hookups
to damaged endoscopes, or endoscopes with restricted or obstructed channels may result in inadequate
high level disinfection.
• Users operating MEDIVATORS AERs and hookups must be trained and competent in the
understanding of endoscope channel systems. Prior to hookup connection, users must verify that the
hookup used contains connections for all appropriate endoscope channels that requiring a separate
reprocessing connection.
• Ensure proper alignment of all connectors with the endoscope mating parts prior to attachment.
Misalignment may cause damage to hookup components and/or mating parts.
• All connectors and adapters must remain firmly attached and unrestricted for the entire disinfection
cycle to ensure adequate high level disinfection. Users must inspect the endoscope and hookup
combination to verify proper connection and flow.
• Remove connectors from mating parts by griping the connector directly and detaching from the
endoscope. Do not remove connectors by pulling on tubing.
• Hookups must be periodically checked to ensure their functionality is not impaired. Hookups should be
inspected for damaged or worn connectors, missing components, kinked/blocked tubing or other signs
of deterioration. If signs of damage or deterioration are found, the hookup should be replaced.
• Modifications or repairs to hookups which do not correspond to the manufacturer’s specifications may
result in inadequate high level disinfection and/or damage to endoscopes.
• Leak testing should be carried out in accordance with endoscope manufacturer’s recommendations
prior to hookup connection.
• Install all necessary waterproof caps, plugs and cleaning adapters prior to immersion.
• Do NOT autoclave MEDIVATORS hookups.
• Avoid biological contamination. Always wear personal protective equipment when handling
endoscopes.
