Important Information - Please Read Before Use
Important Information - Please Read Before Use Intended use This subject device has been designed to wash and disinfect flexible endoscopes and their accessories utilizing an alkali detergent and an FDA-approved liquid chemical germicide for semi critical medical devices. Both the detergent and the LCG are exclusively used for this subject.
Instruction manuals The instructions for this equipment are divided into two volumes: “Instructions-Installation Manual” and “Instructions-Operation Manual”. Each manual contains essential information for using this equipment safely and effectively (“Instructions-Installation Manual” describes how to install the equipment and “Instructions-Operation Manual” describes how to inspect and use the equipment. These manuals will be referred to as “the instruction manuals”.). Before using this reprocessor, be sure to review these manuals thoroughly, as well as the manuals of any other equipment that will be used during reprocessing. Always, use this equipment as instructed. It might cause unexpected danger if you don't follow the installation and operation manual. The descriptions in these manuals assume that all endoscopes are reprocessed using the Olympus-designated detergent (EndoRapid 980 ml pack) and disinfectant solution (Aldahol III). Keep these and all related instruction manuals and documents in a safe, accessible location. If you have any questions or comments about any information in these manuals, please contact Olympus.

Dangers, warnings, and cautions Follow the dangers, warnings, and cautions given below when handling this equipment. This information is supplemented by the dangers and warnings given in each chapter.
•
Do not insert an EndoTherapy accessory or other object through an opening including the air vent of the equipment. Also, do not allow any liquid (including water or disinfectant solution) to flow into an opening. Contact with an electrical part inside the equipment could cause an electric shock or equipment failure.
•
Always remove the tank from the detergent/alcohol drawer before putting detergent or alcohol in the tank. If detergent or alcohol is spilled on the detergent/alcohol drawer, it could get inside the equipment and contact an electrical part inside, causing an electric shock or fire hazard.
•
Do not install this equipment in any place where any of the following are present. High oxygen concentration Oxidizing substance such as Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Flammable anesthetic gas This equipment is not explosion-proof and may explode or cause fire under these conditions.
Always use the power cord provided with this equipment. Otherwise, equipment failure or power cord burnout may result. Also, remember that the provided power cord is for use only with this equipment and should not be used with any other equipment.

Important Information - Please Read Before Use
Terms used in these manuals Cleaning fluid Refers to the water treated by the water filter for use by this equipment in reprocessing. When cleaning fluid is used in the detergent cleaning process, detergent is added to it. Detergent Olympus-designated alkaline detergent (EndoRapid). Disinfectant solution Olympus-designated disinfectant solution (Aldahol III). Alcohol 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. Process Generic term for any operation, including cleaning and disinfection, that is performed automatically by this equipment. Cleaning process A series of operations programmed into the equipment that enable it to perform ultrasonic cleaning and detergent cleaning of an endoscope. Disinfection process A series of operations programmed into the equipment that enable it to perform disinfection of an endoscope. Leak test A test to confirm that an endoscope is waterproof. Air purge In this operation, air is fed into an endoscope channel to blow out any internal moisture. This operation is usually performed automatically during a process, but it can also be activated independently. Air purge is also used to drain cleaning fluid or disinfectant solution from inside the equipment when the operation has stopped due to an error code, etc.

Reprocessing programs A series of operations for ultrasonic cleaning, detergent cleaning, disinfection, and rinsing of the outer surface and 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] consists of a preset series of processes confirmed as effective at our factory. Programs [2] and [3] can be set up by the user. Alcohol flushing To dry the channel after reprocessing, alcohol is passed through the endoscope channel and then air is fed through. This operation can be performed as the last step after completion 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. Meets 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 disinfection process, it terminates the disinfection process and removes the disinfectant solution.
