WARNING
• Attach the water filter under clean conditions. Do not touch the inner side of the
water filter. Otherwise, dust could get on it.
• After replacing the water filter, be sure to perform the operation described in
Section 4.22, “Water line disinfection” to prevent contaminating the water supply
pipes. Failure to perform this operation could result in contamination of the
equipment piping and/or the endoscope, preventing effective reprocessing.
• Always be sure to attach the water filter. Otherwise, the water may contaminate the
equipment piping and/or the endoscope and prevent effective reprocessing.
• Always be sure to use the specified water filter. Otherwise, the water may
contaminate the equipment piping and/or the endoscope and prevent effective
reprocessing.
CAUTION
• Hold the water filter wrench at a point below the projection on the grip. If you hold it
at a point closer to the water filter housing connector than the projection, you might
catch your finger in the equipment.
• After attaching the water filter, be sure to discharge air from the water filter housing
completely. If air is left in the water filter housing, the process time may be
extended. Check for air in the housing whenever the process time is extended or
other irregularities are noticed.
• Do not to drop the removed water filter housing. Otherwise, the water filter housing
and/or the connector below the water filter housing case may be cracked or
damaged and cause water leak.
• Make sure that the O-ring at the head of the water filter housing is free of
irregularities such as cracks, breaks, rips, scratches, or stains. Water leakage may
result if the O-ring is not attached or is abnormal.

WARNING
• Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the cautions 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.
• Always use disinfectant that has been validated by Olympus. High-level
disinfectants that are not validated by Olympus for use in the OER-Elite may be
unsafe and ineffective due to improper dilution, incorrect contact time and
temperature, excessive foaming, inadequate rinse, and therefore may compromise
patient safety. Use of a high-level disinfectant that has not been validated by
Olympus may also damage internal OER-Elite components (e.g., seals, valves,
etc.) and the endoscopes being reprocessed.
• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear personal protective equipment to
prevent any disinfectant from getting on your skin or being inhaled. Avoid direct
physical contact and inhalation of vapors. If any disinfectant solution gets in your
eyes, immediately rinse with a large amount of fresh water and then consult a
medical specialist. Wear personal protective equipment, such as eyewear, 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.

Disinfection of water supply piping is required in the following cases.
• Before using this equipment for the first time (after installation of the water filter).
• Immediately after replacing the water filter.
• Whenever contamination of the water supply piping has been determined.
• Before using the equipment when it has not been used for more than 14 days.
NOTE
• Olympus recommends performing microbiological sampling of the OER-Elite rinse
water quality immediately after performing the water supply piping disinfection if the
device has not been used for more than 14 days. For details on sampling rinse
water, refer to Section 7.9, “Self-disinfection” and water sampling in
“Instructions-Operation Manual”.
• When disinfection of water supply piping is required, Olympus recommends
performing it prior to replacement of the disinfectant solution. The disinfectant
solution must still meet the MRC using the test strip. After disinfection of water
supply piping, drain the disinfectant solution according to the instructions in the
instruction manual and the facility policy. Fill the OER-Elite with fresh disinfectant
solution prior to proceeding with endoscope reprocessing.
• There may be instances when the water supply lines are disinfected using fresh
disinfectant for the first time. Following disinfection of the water supply piping with
fresh disinfectant, the quantity of disinfectant solution might be reduced preventing
use of the fresh disinfectant for endoscope reprocessing. In this case, additional
fresh disinfectant can be added to the OER-Elite only when using the ready-to-use
disinfectant prepared by top loading. Adding fresh disinfectant to increase the
volume of the existing fresh disinfectant will achieve typical usage conditions.
The disinfectant solution stored in the equipment is used for disinfection of the water supply piping.
WARNING
• Before disinfecting the water supply piping, check the concentration of the
disinfectant solution with the Test Strip, and replace the disinfectant solution if the
disinfectant efficacy has been determined to be below the required level. If this
check is not applied, disinfection may be insufficient.
• Disinfection of the water supply piping is required each time the water filter is
replaced (at least once every month). Otherwise, the rinse water may be
contaminated.

• Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the cautions carefully and use as
instructed. It is especially important to know what to do if the disinfectant solution
comes into contact with your skin.
• When handling the disinfectant solution, wear personal protective equipment to
prevent any disinfectant from getting on your skin or being inhaled. To avoid
adverse physical effects, do 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. 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. All personal protective
equipment should be inspected before use and replaced periodically before it is
