Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use43ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual3.5 Inspecting the remaining quantity of alcohol, and replenishmentCheck how much alcohol is in the alcohol tank and add more as required.• The alcohol used with the equipment should be 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. Using any other kind of alcohol may result in malfunction of the equipment or the endoscope, difficulty drying the endoscope, or a hazard due to toxic vapor emitted from the alcohol.• Alcohol is flammable and should be handled with extra care. At the end of work, be sure to drain the alcohol from the tank or to remove the tank from the equipment and store it at a safe distance from the equipment. For more information on draining the alcohol or removing the alcohol tank, refer to Section 5.3, “Removal or storage of alcohol” on page 113 Leaving alcohol in the tank could pose a fire hazard.• Remove the alcohol in the alcohol tank and replace it with new alcohol at least once a week. Otherwise, the alcohol in the alcohol tank may degrade.• Before handling the alcohol, carefully read the precautions for use carefully, get fully accustomed to the content, and use the alcohol as instructed.Check Required items70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcoholTable 3.6

48Chapter 3 Inspection Before UseENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual3.6 Inspecting the mesh filtersMake sure that the circulation port mesh filters (two types) and the drain port mesh filter are not clogged.A clogged mesh filter not only prevents the equipment from functioning properly, but may also cause the endoscopes to malfunction or prevent effective reprocessing.• If the mesh filters have been removed, be sure to put them back in their original positions before using the equipment. If you forget to attach the mesh filters, the pump may malfunction and/or foreign objects may enter the endoscope channels including the nozzle and clog them.• When cleaning the mesh filters, take care not to leave brush hair or cotton swab fiber in the meshes. Otherwise, their filtering effectiveness may be reduced.• If a mesh filter is dropped or subjected to an impact, make sure that the mesh shape is not deformed. Otherwise, the filtering effect may degrade.• Two-type mesh filters are installed on the outer and inner sides of the circulation port. Be sure to remove, inspect, and clean both of them.1. Step the foot pedal to open the lid.2. Remove the mesh filters from the cleaning tub.Figure 3.173. Check that the mesh filters are not clogged by a foreign object.Drain port mesh filterCirculation port mesh filters
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use49ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual4. If any foreign object is found to be clogging the filter, clean the mesh filter in running water using a brush or cotton swab.Figure 3.185. Attach the mesh filters in their original positions.3.7 Inspecting for disinfectant solution odorCheck that the disinfectant solution is not producing an abnormal odor.Before handling the disinfectant solution, carefully read the precautions attached to the Aldahol III bottle and use as instructed.1. Activate the room’s ventilation system.2. Check that there is no abnormal disinfectant solution odor coming from the equipment or its surroundings.If the odor increases after replacement of the gas filters, contact Olympus.
50Chapter 3 Inspection Before UseENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual3.8 Inspecting the disinfectant solution’s concentration levelCheck the concentration of the disinfectant solution before reprocessing an endoscope, always check that the concentration of disinfectant solution is effective using the test strip. Be sure to replace the disinfectant solution before the disinfecting effect is lost.• The expiration of the disinfectant solution varies depending on many factors including the drain condition, 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 applied, disinfection may be insufficient. Also, be sure to replace the disinfectant solution before it becomes ineffective.• 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 attached document for the disinfectant solution carefully, get fully accustomed to the content, and use the solution as instructed. Be sure to fully understand what to do if the disinfectant solution comes in contact with your skin.Check Required itemsTest strip (For Aldahol III)Drain connector (should be dry)Cup-shape container with a capacity of about 200 ml, such as a beaker (should be dry)Clean clothTable 3.7
Chapter 3 Inspection Before Use51ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate personal protective equipment. To avoid adverse physical effects, be careful not to touch the disinfectant solution directly or to inhale too much vapor. 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 eye wear, 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 facilities 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 218. If leaking does not stop, contact Olympus.To obtain test strip, contact Olympus.1. Push [PUSH] on the front door to open the front door and remove the rubber cap from the disinfectant removal port.Figure 3.19disinfectant removal portRubber cap
