In
the
event
of
effectiveness
of
the
procedure and the functioning of the endoscope
cannot be guaranteed.
Use gloves and protective goggles for all
cleaning and disinfecting measures.
Chemical disinfection must be carried out at 55C
and for at least 5 minutes. This process has been
validated by the company Schülke & Mayr using
Thermosept ED 1% disinfectant.
7.1. Manual cleaning:
7.1.1 Preliminary cleaning:
Preliminary cleaning must be carried out immediately
after the examination. As soon as the endoscope is
removed after the examination, the insertion tube
must be wiped with a soft, lint-free disposable cloth in
order to remove coarse impurities.
The endoscope must then be disconnected from the
cold light cable and from any connected transmission
devices (e.g. camera system). Any adapters screwed
onto the cold light cable connection should be
unscrewed and included in the preparation process.
7.1.2 Manual cleaning:
Prepare the cleaning solution according to the
manufacturer's instructions and completely immerse
the endoscope in this solution after the leak test (see
Chapter 6). Carry out all cleaning steps beneath the
surface of the liquid, in order to avoid sprays of
contaminated fluid. Clean the outer casing of the
endoscope with a lint-free disposable cloth. Clean
connections/valve openings, distal end and control
elements carefully with a soft brush. Then clean the
cleaning brushes and disinfect with the endoscope.
7.1.3 Rinsing off the cleaning solution:
Place the endoscope and accessories (valves,
adapters and cleaning brushes) in a bowl with clean
tap water, in order to rinse off the cleaning agent.
7.1.4 Disinfection:
Completely immerse the cleaned endoscope in the
disinfectant with all accessories and cover the basin
with a tightly closing cover. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions exactly with regard to concentration and
action time. The date on which the disinfectant
solution is prepared must be marked on the basin.
When the solution is changed, the disinfection basins
must be subjected to thorough mechanical and
disinfectant cleaning.
7.1.5 Final rinsing:
Remove the endoscope and accessories from the
disinfectant solution with sterile disposable gloves.
Place the disinfected endoscope and accessories in a
basin or bowl with microbiologically perfect/sterile
distilled water. Fresh water must be used for each

instrument. Thoroughly rinse the outside of the
the
endoscope with microbiologically perfect and, if
required, with sterile distilled water.
7.1.6 Drying and storage:
Carefully blow dry ducts with compressed air if
required. Dry the outer casing of the endoscope with
a lint-free disposable cloth and carry out a functional
check of the endoscope. The endoscope can then
once again be used for examining patients.
Warning: Care must be taken not to
contaminate the endoscope after the
cleaning process.
For storage or preservation, the endscope must be
stored completely dry, protected from dust, and
preferably hanging in a special endoscope cabinet.
The box is not suitable for long-term storage of the
endoscope. Store adapters dry and dust-free where
applicable. Do not insert the vent cap when storing
the endoscope (see 7.3.5).
7.2. Semi-mechanical cleaning:
7.2.1 Preliminary cleaning (see 7.1.1)
7.2.2 Manual cleaning (see 7.1.2)
7.2.3 Rinsing off the cleaning solution (see 7.1.3)
7.2.4 Preparing the disinfection device:
Place the cleaned endoscope in a disinfection basin
with all accessories, cover with the lid and start the
programme
instructions regarding concentration and action time
must be precisely complied with. The date and time
of preparation of the disinfectant should be marked
on the basin, for example. In certain disinfection
devices, final rinsing and drying can also be carried
out in addition to the disinfection procedure.
7.2.5 Final rinsing (see 7.1.5)
7.2.6 Drying and storage (see 7.1.6)
7.2.7 Disinfection equipment:
Clean, disinfect and, if possible, dry the basin and
hose daily after use. Renew the disinfectant solution
in
the
instrument

number of disinfection procedures, service life or
contamination). Empty the water tank and water
canister after use. Dry carefully at the end of the day's
work and avoid standing residual water. If present,
replace sterile water filter in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions. Have regular servicing
carried out by the equipment service department as
per the manufacturer's instructions.
