When the cleaning/disinfection process is interrupted, the
scopes will not be properly cleaned and disinfected. In this
case, reprocessing should be started again from the
beginning.
If any irregularity is detected during an inspection or if the device is clearly
malfunctioning, do not use it. Contact Olympus for repair.
Some problems that appear to be malfunctions may be correctable by referring
to Section 8.1, “Troubleshooting guide” on page 218. If the problem cannot be
resolved by the described remedial action, do not use the device and contact
Olympus.
8.1 Troubleshooting guide
When the cleaning/disinfection process is interrupted, the
scopes will not be properly cleaned and disinfected. In this
case, reprocessing should be started again from the
beginning.
Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the
precautions carefully and use it as instructed. It is especially
important to know what to do if the disinfectant solution
comes in contact with your skin.
When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate
personal protective equipment to prevent any disinfectant
from getting on your skin or being inhaled. 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, such as 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.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting and Repair

ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSOR OER-Pro Operation Manual
Do not open the lid, in case the process stops and
disinfectant solution remains in the cleaning tub due to the
power failure or the internal irregularly. Otherwise,
disinfectant vapor could cause adverse physical effects.
When using the disinfectant solution and alcohol, Olympus
recommends the use of gas filters and running this
equipment in well-ventilated areas.
Wear a facemask, gloves, and protective clothes to
minimize aspiration and skin contact.
Wear goggles for eye protection.
If the rinsing process is started during error treatment while
disinfectant solution remains in the cleaning tub, the
disinfectant solution will be drained out of the device. To
prevent this, the disinfectant solution should be collected first
when an error code is displayed by referring to “Error codes
and what to do about them”.
Do not press the power switch OFF when an error code is
displayed. Doing so may result in malfunction. The device
automatically starts automatic error treatment (The error
code will blink during automatic processing). After the error
code starts blinking, follow the instructions in “Error codes
and what to do about them” below.
Refer to the following association's guidelines related to
ventilation:
SGNA (Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and
Associates)
ASGE (American Society of Gastroenterological
Endoscopy)
