Packages appropriate for steam sterilization
Use a medical-grade, low-foaming, neutral pH detergent or enzymatic detergent
and follow the manufacturer's dilution and temperature recommendations.
Contact Olympus for the names of specific brands that have been tested for
compatibility with the insufflation tube, suction tube and luer-lock connectors. Do
not reuse detergent solutions.
Excessive detergent foaming can prevent fluid from
adequately contacting the surfaces of the equipment.
The results of sterilization depend on various factors such as
how the sterilized instrument was packed or the positioning,
method of placing and loading of the instrument in the
sterilization device. Please verify the sterilization effects by
using biological or chemical indicators. Also follow the
guidelines for sterilization issued by medical administrative
authorities, public organizations or the infection management
sections at each medical facility, as well as the instruction
manual of the sterilization device.
