Close the lid by pushing it until it clicks.
Before starting the reprocessing process, always confirm that
there is no foreign material on the ventilation openings on the
gas filter cases. Blocking the ventilation not only hinders
deodorization but may also cause the device to malfunction.
This section explains the operation of the OER-Pro for reprocessing
endoscopes. Select from three different reprocessing programs [1] to [3]. If the
selected reprocessing program incorporates the disinfectant solution heating
process, the disinfectant solution is heated during reprocessing. For details on
the definitions of the three reprocessing programs and how to set the
reprocessing programs, see Section 6.3, "Setting the reprocessing programs" on
page 158.
The reprocessing basin, lid and internal circulation piping
within the OER-Pro are automatically disinfected along with
the endoscope each time a reprocessing cycle is run, and
that no special disinfection cycle for these parts is required.
• This equipment does not sterilize endoscopes. Therefore,
after cleaning/disinfecting an endoscope that requires
sterilization, always be sure to sterilize the endoscope as
instructed in its instruction manual.
• Make sure that the endoscopes are not touching the lid. If
they are touching the lid, reprocessing may not be effective.
Adjust the positions of the endoscopes whenever they are
touching the lid.
• Visually inspect the output ports of the connecting tubes and
water supply/circulation nozzle during reprocessing. If the
pipes in the equipment are clogged or the pump has
abnormalities, it will not be possible to properly feed fluids
into the endoscope channels and the endoscope may not be
effectively reprocessed. If a jet of fluid from the output ports
to the lid is not observed during reprocessing, contact
Olympus.
