Endoscope
Disinfection
• Prior to disinfection, attach PVE soaking cap (OE-C9). Failure to do
so can result in water invasion and damage to the endoscope. If the
endoscope is disinfected without the soaking cap attached, do not use
the endoscope, and contact your local PENTAX service facility or sales
representative.
• Prior to disinfection, detach the ventilation cap (OF-C5). Failure to do so
can result in damage to the endoscope. If the endoscope is disinfected
with the ventilation cap attached, do not use the endoscope, and contact
your local PENTAX service facility or sales representative.
• During disinfection, never twist, rotate, or bend the insertion tube and
umbilical cable excessively.
• To prevent damaging the endoscope, do not place any objects other
than the reprocessing accessories described in section 1-2-4-1 with the
endoscope when immersing the endoscope in the disinfection basin.
