EVIS LUCERA JF/TJF TYPE 260V REPROCESSING MANUAL
Chapter 4 Cleaning and Disinfection Equipment
• Before using an endoscope reprocessor, confirm that it is
capable of reprocessing the endoscope including all
channels. If there are channels and/or other parts of the
endoscope that cannot be cleaned and/or high-level
disinfected by the endoscope reprocessor, manual cleaning
and high-level disinfection or sterilization must be performed
as described in Chapter 3, "Cleaning, Disinfection and
Sterilization Procedures" 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. If you are
uncertain as to the ability of your endoscope reprocessor to
clean and high-level disinfect the endoscope including all
channels, contact the endoscope reprocessor's
manufacturer for specific instructions and/or information on
connectors.
• When cleaning and disinfecting an endoscope in an
endoscope reprocessor, use connectors that are compatible
with the endoscope model. Otherwise, insufficient cleaning
and disinfection or sterilization of the endoscope may occur,
which could pose an infection-control risk to the patient
and/or operators performing the next procedure with the
endoscope. The applicable connectors for each endoscope
model should be listed in the instruction manual of the
endoscope reprocessor. If your endoscope model is not
listed in that instruction manual, please contact the
manufacturer of the endoscope reprocessor.
• Use connectors special to each model when cleaning and
disinfecting the endoscope with 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. The applicable connectors for
each endoscope model should be listed in the automated
endoscope reprocessor instruction manual. If your
endoscope model is not listed in this table, please contact the
manufacturer of the endoscope reprocessor.
