• If the endoscope is not cleaned meticulously, effective
disinfection or sterilization may not be possible. Clean the
endoscope and accessories thoroughly before disinfection or
sterilization to remove microorganisms or organic material
that could reduce the efficacy of disinfection or sterilization.
• This instruction manual specifies disinfection agents and
endoscope reprocessors for cleaning, high-level disinfection
and sterilization which can be used in combination with the
endoscope, and those disinfection agents and endoscope
reprocessors which cannot be used with the endoscope. For
those that are not listed in this manual, contact
Olympus-designated service centers, Olympus branches or
sales representatives. In case that inappropriate disinfection
agents or endoscope reprocessors are used, deterioration of
the endoscope may be accelerated and parts of the
endoscope may come off and may have an adverse effect on
patients’ health. When using these disinfection agents and
endoscope reprocessor, follow their instruction manual.
Olympus does not assure the effect of cleaning, disinfection
and sterilization in endoscope reprocessors. Contact the
manufacturers of those disinfection agents and endoscope
reprocessor.
• Olympus confirms validation of the endoscope reprocessors
recommended by Olympus only. If using endoscope
reprocessors that are not recommended by Olympus, the
endoscope reprocessor manufacturers are responsible for
validation of the endoscope reprocessor with the endoscope
models listed in its intended instructions. If using an
endoscope reprocessor, confirm that it is capable of
reprocessing endoscopes including all channels. If there are
channels and/or other parts which cannot be cleaned and
disinfected by the endoscope reprocessor, the endoscopes
have to undergo manual cleaning and disinfection as
described in Chapter 7, “Cleaning, Disinfection and
Sterilization Procedures for Endoscopic Instruments” after
using the endoscope reprocessor. Otherwise, insufficient
cleaning and disinfection or sterilization of the endoscope
may pose an infection-control risk to the patient and/or
operators performing the next procedure with the endoscope.
Contact the endoscope reprocessor supplier for specific
instructions and/or connectors.
