Precautions

•

An insufficiently cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized endoscope

and/or accessories may pose an infection control risk to the

patients and/or operators who contact them.

•

All disinfection methods (whether performed manually or by

an automated endoscope reprocessor), and all sterilization

methods (whether performed by ethylene oxide gas or

steam) require thorough prior cleaning of the instrument

being reprocessed. If the equipment is not adequately

cleaned prior to disinfection/sterilization, these processes will

be ineffective. Immediately after each patient procedure and

before disinfection/sterilization, thoroughly clean the

endoscope and the accessories used with the endoscope.

•

All channels of the endoscope, including the instrument

channel and all accessories used with the endoscope during

the patient procedure, such as all valves, must be cleaned

and high-level disinfected or sterilized after each patient

procedure, even if the channels or accessories were not

used during the patient procedure. Insufficient cleaning and

disinfection or sterilization of these components may pose an

infection control risk to patients and/or operators.

•

Disinfectant solutions are hazardous. After disinfection, rinse

all external surfaces and channels of the endoscope and

accessories thoroughly with water to remove residual

disinfectant solution.

•

The results of sterilization depend on various factors. These

factors include how the equipment was packaged, and the

placing and loading of the package in the sterilization device.

Verify the sterilization process using biological and/or

chemical indicators. Follow the guidelines for sterilization

issued by national authorities, professional organizations and

infection control professionals, as well as the instruction

manual for the sterilization device.

EVIS EXERA II TJF TYPE Q180V REPROCESSING MANUAL

Chapter 1 General Policy

•

Establish an internal system of identifying contaminated

versus reprocessed endoscopes and accessories to prevent

both mix-ups and cross-contamination. Touching a

reprocessed endoscope and/or accessories with

contaminated gloves or placing them on a contaminated

hanger or surface, including letting them touch the floor, will

recontaminate them.

•

Prior to each patient procedure, confirm that the endoscope

and accessories have been properly reprocessed and stored.

If there are any doubts or questions, reprocess them again

before the patient procedure, following the instructions given

in this manual.

•

Perform a leakage test on the endoscope after each

precleaning procedure. Do not use the endoscope if a leak is

detected. Use of an endoscope with a leak may cause a

sudden loss of the endoscopic image, damage to the

bending mechanism, or other malfunctions. Use of a leaking

endoscope may also pose an infection control risk.

•

The accessories listed on the front cover of this manual are

consumables, meaning that these accessories cannot be

refurbished or repaired and are intended to be replaced once

they show any signs of wear. Should any irregularity be

observed, use a replacement accessory instead. Using

defective accessories may cause equipment malfunction,

reduce the efficacy of reprocessing, present a risk to patients

and/or operators, or damage the endoscope and/or

accessories.

•

Single-use brushes, such as the single use channel cleaning

brush (BW-201T), the single use combination cleaning brush

(BW-412T), the single use channel-opening cleaning brush

(MAJ-1339), and the single use soft brush (MAJ-1888), are

designed for cleaning only one endoscope and its related

accessories. Dispose of the single-use brush immediately

after use. Using a single-use brush to clean multiple

endoscopes and/or accessories may reduce its cleaning

efficacy and may damage the brush leading to brush

breakage or endoscope and/or accessory damage.

•

Patient debris and reprocessing chemicals are hazardous.

To guard against contact with dangerous chemicals and

potentially infectious material, wear appropriate personal

protective equipment during cleaning, disinfection, and

sterilization. Such protective equipment should include

appropriate eyewear, face mask, cap, moisture-resistant

clothing, shoe covers, and chemical-resistant gloves that fit

properly and are long enough to prevent skin exposure.

•

The reprocessing room must be adequately ventilated.

Adequate ventilation protects against the buildup of toxic

chemical fumes.

•

Always remove contaminated personal protective equipment

before leaving the reprocessing area to prevent

contamination from spreading.

•

Only Olympus-recommended or Olympus-endorsed

automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) have been

validated by Olympus. When using an AER that is not

recommended by Olympus, the manufacturer of the AER is

responsible for validating compatibility of the AER with each

Olympus endoscope and accessory.

•

Before using an AER, confirm that it is capable of

reprocessing the endoscope including all channels, the

forceps elevator recess, and accessories. Be sure to attach

all required connectors. Otherwise, insufficient reprocessing

may pose an infection control risk. If you are uncertain as to

the ability of your AER to reprocess the endoscope including

all channels, the forceps elevator recess, and accessories,

contact the manufacturer of the AER for specific instructions

and information on compatibility and required connectors.

When you use an AER which allows you skip some steps in

precleaning and manual cleaning of endoscopes, confirm

with the AER manufacturer that such skip is applicable to this

endoscope and establish detailed precleaning and manual

cleaning procedures of this endoscope according to both

instructions of this manual and the AER manufacturer.

•

Put the forceps elevator in intermediate position of the range

of movement by turning the elevator control lever and set it in

your AER.

EVIS EXERA II TJF TYPE Q180V REPROCESSING MANUAL

Chapter 1 General Policy

•

Instructions provided in this manual are not valid for Olympus

devices repaired by a non-Olympus facility. The Olympus

recommended reprocessing procedures have not been

validated for reprocessing devices repaired by a

non-Olympus facility. In the event that your device has been

repaired by a non-Olympus facility, contact that repair facility

for instructions regarding reprocessing.

•

Prions, which are the pathogenic agent of the

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), cannot be destroyed or

inactivated by the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization

methods stated in this instruction manual. When using the

endoscope and accessories on patients with CJD or variant

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), be sure to use them for

such patients only, or immediately dispose of them after use

in an appropriate manner to prevent the usage of exposed

devices on other patients. For methods to handle CJD, follow

the respective guidelines in your country.

•

The endoscope and accessories may be damaged by

published methods for destroying or inactivating prions. For

information on the durability of Olympus equipment against a

particular reprocessing method, contact Olympus. In general,

Olympus cannot guarantee the effectiveness, safety, and

durability of cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization methods

not described in this reprocessing manual. If you chose to

use a reprocessing method not recommended in this manual,

the local institution and/or physicians must assume

responsibility for its safety and efficacy. Make sure to

carefully inspect each piece of endoscopic equipment for

irregularities (damage) prior to each patient procedure. Do

not use the equipment if any irregularity is found.

•

Good quality control practices typically require appropriate

documentation. Items such as local SOPs (standard

operating procedures), confirmation of operator training,

routine testing of the disinfectant’s MEC (minimal effective

concentration), confirmation of the disinfectant’s use-life,

etc., should be documented as performed.

•

When aerating or irrigating the endoscope channels, the air

or water pressure must not exceed 0.5 MPa (5 kgf/cm2,

71 psig). Higher pressures may cause damage to the

endoscope.

•

Store spare accessories in their original packaging to prevent

damage.

•

To prevent damage, do not apply excessive force to the

endoscope and accessories during reprocessing.

•

Vapors from disinfectant solutions and alcohol may damage

electronic devices such as computers.

Reprocessing before the first use

New endoscopes, repaired endoscopes, accessories, and the carrying case for

endoscopes are not cleaned, disinfected, or sterilized prior to shipping from

Olympus, regardless of whether those instruments are for new purchase, demo

or loaner purposes. Reprocess all such endoscopes and accessories received

Reprocessing and storage after use

•

Do not reuse rinse water.

•

High-level disinfectant solutions are only effective when used

according to the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding activation (if

required), concentration, temperature, contact time and use

life required to achieve high-level disinfection.

•

If the disinfectant solution is reused, check its efficacy with a

test strip according to the disinfectant manufacturer’s

recommendations prior to use.

•

Do not reuse alcohol.

•

Alcohol is not a sterilant or high-level disinfectant.

•

To maintain sterility of equipment following sterilization, use

sterile packaging and wraps according to national guidelines.

Reprocessing before patient procedure

•

Improper storage practices, such as not thoroughly drying

external and internal surfaces (lumens) including the forceps

elevator recess prior to storage, will lead to an infection

control risk.

•

Improper handling, such as touching a reprocessed

endoscope and/or accessories with contaminated gloves,

placing a reprocessed device on a contaminated hanger or

surface, allowing devices to touch the floor, etc., will

recontaminate the device.

Some national or professional guidelines recommend

reprocessing endoscopes prior to their first use of the day.

Confirm that the endoscope and accessories have undergone proper

reprocessing following their last use and that they have been stored properly.

Check the storage period of reprocessed endoscopes, and check for surface

contamination (e.g., dust). Check the sterilization expiration date(s) of all items

so marked and for tears or breaches in sterile packaging. If there are any doubts

or questions concerning whether a device is contaminated, reprocess it again

following the instructions given in this manual.
