• When reprocessing the endoscope, confirm that the water
resistant cap (MH-553) is securely attached to the electrical
connector before immersing the endoscope in reprocessing
fluids. If the water resistant cap is not securely attached, the
reprocessing fluids could enter the endoscope and damage
the endoscope.

• When aerating or irrigating the endoscope channels, the air
or water pressure must not exceed 0.5 MPa (5 kgf/cm
71 psig). Higher pressures may cause damage to the
endoscope.
• Store spare accessories in their original packaging to prevent
damage.
• To prevent damage, do not apply excessive force to the
endoscope and accessories during reprocessing.
• Vapors from disinfectant solutions and alcohol may damage
electronic devices such as computers.
New endoscopes, repaired endoscopes, accessories, and the carrying case for
endoscopes are not cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized prior to shipping from
Olympus, regardless of whether those instruments are for new purchase, demo
or loaner purposes. Reprocess all such endoscopes and accessories received
from Olympus according to the instructions given in this manual before storage
and before using them in a patient procedure.
