Inspecting the mesh filters

ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual
Make sure that the circulation port mesh filters (two types) and the drain port
mesh filter are not clogged.
A clogged mesh filter not only prevents the equipment from
functioning properly, but may also result in ineffective
reprocessing.
• If the mesh filters have been removed, be sure to put them
back in their original positions before using the equipment. If
you forget to attach the mesh filters, the pump may
malfunction and/or foreign objects may enter the endoscope
channels including the nozzle and clog them.
• When cleaning the mesh filters, take care not to leave brush
hair or cotton swab fiber in the meshes. Otherwise, their
filtering effectiveness may be reduced.
• If a mesh filter is dropped or subjected to an impact, make
sure that the mesh shape is not deformed. Otherwise, the
filtering effect may degrade.
• Two-type mesh filters are installed on the outer and inner
sides of the circulation port. Be sure to remove, inspect, and
clean both of them.
