Setting the disinfectant solution counter

ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual
You can set the number of days and the maximum number of disinfection cycles
prior to replacement of the disinfectant solution. The equipment indicates the
replacement timing when the set value for the elapsed days or operations is
reached. Note that this equipment does not determine the degradation of the
disinfectant concentration.
Be sure to check the concentration of the disinfectant
solution by using the separately available test strips. The
disinfectant solution counter does not determine the
effectiveness of the disinfectant solution. The expiration of
the disinfectant solution varies depending on many factors
including the time since activation, the temperature of the
environment where the equipment is installed, and the
number and types of endoscopes that have been
reprocessed. The disinfectant solution counter does not take
these and other factors into consideration.
Do not add fresh disinfectant solution to the used disinfectant
solution when the disinfectant solution in the device is no
longer effective or the volume of the disinfectant solution in
the device drops below its usable level. Drain the disinfectant
solution completely and replace with fresh disinfectant
solution.
 Note on the disinfectant solution counter function
When the test strip indicates that the disinfectant solution is no longer effective
or the disinfectant solution beyond the specified use life, it is possible to enter
and register the number of disinfection operations and days that have elapsed
since preparation/addition of the disinfectant solution. The disinfectant counter
lamp on the main control panel will light up when either the set disinfection
operation count or elapsed day count is reached so that this information can be
used as a reference or reminder for disinfectant solution replacement. Although
this function cannot precisely determine when the disinfectant is no longer
effective, the display can be used as a reference for preparing the disinfectant
solution replacement or as a reminder. It is recommended to update the
operation count and elapsed day count data of this function according to
changes in the operating environment, etc.
