OSF-3 ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING MANUAL
3.5 Manual Cleaning
After completing the leakage test, perform manual cleaning according to the
procedures described below.
Equipment Needed
Prepare the following equipment:
To prevent damage to the endoscope, never immerse it
together with objects other than the cleaning accessories.
Cleaning the Outer Surface
1. Fill a basin with water and low-foaming detergent solution at a temperature
and concentration recommended by the manufacturer. Use a basin which is
at least 40 cm by 40 cm (16” by 16”) in size and deep enough to allow the
endoscope to be completely immersed.
2. Immerse the endoscope and transfer the AW Channel Cleaning Adapter,
Air/Water and Suction Valves and Biopsy Valve in the basin with detergent
solution.
3. With the endoscope immersed, use a soft brush or lint free cloth to
thoroughly brush and wipe all outside surfaces of the endoscope. Pay
particular attention to the Air/Water Nozzle opening and ensure that all
surfaces of the Distal End are cleaned thoroughly (see Figure 3.12).
