Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use

• The use life of the disinfectant solution may vary depending
on many factors, including storage conditions, and the
temperature of the environment where the equipment is
installed. Routinely check the concentration of the
disinfectant solution with the test strip before performing
endoscope disinfection. If this check is not performed, the
disinfection process may be ineffective. Replace the
disinfectant solution when it fails to meet the minimum
recommended concentration or beyond the specified use life.
• The container used in the following check, such as a beaker,
and the drain connector should be completely dry. Residual
moisture will affect the results.
• Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the MSDS and
instructions for use of the disinfectant solution carefully, get
fully accustomed to the contents, and use the disinfectant
solution as instructed. Be sure to fully understand what to do
if the disinfectant solution comes in contact with your skin.
• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate
personal protective equipment. Avoid direct physical contact
and inhalation of vapors. If any disinfectant solution gets in
your eyes, immediately rinse with a large amount of fresh
water and then consult a medical specialist. Personal
protective equipment includes eyewear, face mask,
moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves
that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin is not
exposed. All personal protective equipment should be
inspected before use and replaced periodically before it is
damaged.
• Do not block the disinfectant removal port with a finger or
other objects when the rubber cap is not attached.
Otherwise, the disinfectant solution may flow out.
• To prevent peripheral devices and areas near the equipment
from being damaged by leaked disinfectant solution, do not
remove the rubber cap from the disinfectant removal port
except when connecting the drain connector to the
disinfectant removal port.
• If disinfectant solution leaks out of the disinfectant removal
port when the rubber cap has been removed, immediately
reattach the rubber cap and follow the procedure in Section
8.1, "Troubleshooting guide" on page 274. If leaking does not
stop, contact Olympus.
