Chapter 4 Reprocessing Operations
Modified manual cleaning process for preparing Olympus
endoscopes for processing in the OER-Pro

• Always preclean each endoscope immediately after the
examination. If precleaning is not executed promptly, debris
will solidify and may prevent effective reprocessing.
Failure to preclean will leave excessive amounts of debris
adhering to the endoscope and may compromise the
effectiveness of the reprocessing. It may also result in debris
accumulating in the endoscope, preventing the endoscope
from working correctly.
• Remove all accessories (for Gyrus ACMI video scopes,
including the edgecard protector) before performing the
manual cleaning procedure. Otherwise, the reprocessing
may be insufficient.
Endoscopes must be subject to cleaning by the user prior to reprocessing in the
OER-Pro. However, when using the OER-Pro, the endoscope can be
reprocessed according to the modified procedure described below.
• The cleaning steps for external surfaces, the forceps
elevator, and reusable parts must be performed according to
the reprocessing instructions provided in the endoscope
manual. Failure to preclean may compromise the
effectiveness of the reprocessing.
• Valves and accessories must be manually cleaned as per the
endoscope manual prior to placement in the OER-Pro.
Otherwise, effectiveness of the reprocessing may be
compromised.
• Ultrasonic probes must be manually cleaned as per the
ultrasonic probe manual prior to placement in the OER-Pro.
Otherwise, effectiveness of the reprocessing may be
compromised.
• Gyrus ACMI endoscopes must be cleaned as per the
instruction manual for MAJ-1904 prior to placement in the
OER-Pro. Otherwise, effectiveness of the reprocessing may
be compromised.
• When reprocessing JF-140F, TJF-140F, TJF-160F,
TJF-160VF, and TJF-Q180V duodenoscopes using
OER-Pro, conduct precleaning and manual cleaning as
detailed in each duodenoscope's reprocessing manual.
