5.3 Returning the endoscope for repair
Thoroughly clean and high-level disinfect or sterilize the
endoscope before returning it for repair. Improperly
reprocessed equipment presents an infection control risk to
each person who handles the endoscope within the hospital
or at Olympus.
Olympus is not liable for any injury or damage which occurs
as a result of repairs attempted by non-Olympus personnel.
Before returning the endoscope for repair, contact Olympus. With the
endoscope, include a description of the malfunction or damage and the name
and telephone number of the individual at your location who is most familiar with
the problem. Also include a repair purchase order.
When returning the endoscope for repair, follow the instructions given in
“Transporting outside the hospital” on page 50.
