Reprocessing programs
A series of operations for ultrasonic cleaning, detergent cleaning,
disinfection, rinsing, air purge, and alcohol flushing of the outer surface or
channels of endoscopes that run in a specified sequence and for a specified
time. Reprocessing programs [1] to [3] can be selected by the user. Program
[1] has a fixed cleaning process time, followed by a 10-minute fixed
disinfection process time. The OER-Pro is factory-set for a disinfection
process for ready-to-use disinfectant solution. Program changes to the
disinfection process time will be released when Olympus-validated
disinfectant solutions with different disinfectant contact times are approved.
Programs [2] and [3] allow the user to lengthen the cleaning process time,
prior to the fixed disinfection process time.
Alcohol flushing
To assist in drying the channel after reprocessing, alcohol is flushed through
the endoscope channels followed by air. This operation can be performed
as the last step of the reprocessing program or as an independent
operation.
Disinfectant solution heating
A process for heating disinfectant solution until it reaches the appropriate
temperature. When this process is included in a reprocessing program, it is
performed automatically during the program. It can also be performed as an
independent operation.
Test strip
Device used to test if the concentration of disinfectant solution is effective
for disinfection (i.e., the minimum recommended concentration (MRC)
specified by the disinfectant manufacturer).
Error code
A code consisting of [E] and a two-digit number. This code is displayed on
the main control panel if there is a problem with the equipment. When an
error code is displayed, check the error code list to find out what corrective
measures to take.
Automatic Processing
When the equipment is stopped by the operator or due to an error, it
identifies its status and executes the optimum operation automatically. For
example, if the device stops in the middle of the disinfection process, it
terminates the disinfection process and removes the disinfectant solution.
