OER-Elite OPERATION MANUAL Important Information — Please Read Before Use Important Information — Please Read Before Use Intended use The OER-Elite is intended for use in cleaning and high-level disinfection of heat sensitive Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories. Safe use requires detergent and an FDA-cleared high-level disinfectant/sterilant that Olympus has validated to be efficacious and compatible with the materials of the OER-Elite and Olympus flexible endoscopes, their accessories, and endoscope reprocessor accessories. Use of a detergent or high-level disinfectant/sterilant that has not been validated by Olympus may be ineffective and can damage the OER-Elite components and the endoscopes being reprocessed. Endoscopes must be cleaned by the user prior to reprocessing; however, use of the OER-Elite enables the user to perform modified manual cleaning of some endoscopes prior to automated cleaning and high-level disinfection in the OER-Elite. Instruction manuals The instructions for this reprocessor are divided into two volumes: “Instructions-Installation Manual”, and “Instructions-Operation Manual”. Instructions regarding the preparation of endoscopes prior to placing them in the OER-Elite are found in “Instructions-Operation Manual”. Each of these manuals contains essential information for using this reprocessor safely and effectively. The “Instructions-Installation Manual” describes how to install the reprocessor. The “Instructions-Operation Manual” describes how to operate and maintain the reprocessor and describes modifications to the manual endoscope cleaning process that can save the user time and inconvenience, if the endoscope is going to be subsequently reprocessed using the OER-Elite. The “List of Compatible Endoscopes/Connecting Tubes” identifies all Olympus model endoscopes that are compatible with the OER-Elite, plus the specific connecting tube(s) required for each of these endoscope models. The descriptions in these manuals assume that all endoscopes are reprocessed in the OER-Elite using both an Olympus-validated detergent and disinfectant. Contact Olympus to obtain the list of both Olympus-validated disinfectant solutions and detergents. Before using this reprocessor, be sure to review all of the above-mentioned manuals, the safety information provided with Olympus-validated detergents and disinfectants, and the manuals for all other equipment used in the process. Always use this reprocessor as instructed. It might cause unexpected danger if you do not follow the installation and operation manual. Keep these and all related instruction manuals and documents in a safe and accessible location. If you have any questions or comments about any information in these manuals, contact Olympus.

If the concentration is below the recommended minimum concentration or the shelf life of the disinfectant solution has expired, replace the disinfectant solution. The result of MRC can be recorded with the reprocessor. Ch.3 Reprocessing Leaking scope decontamination Water line disinfection Self-disinfection & Water sampling Detergent line disinfection Alcohol line disinfection WARNING • The use life of the disinfectant solution may vary depending on many factors, including storage conditions, and the temperature of the environment where the reprocessor is installed. Routinely check the concentration of the disinfectant solution with the test strip before performing endoscope disinfection. If this check is not performed, the disinfection process may be ineffective. Replace the disinfectant solution when it fails to meet the minimum recommended concentration or beyond the specified use life. • Before handling the disinfectant solution, read the SDS and instructions for use of the disinfectant solution carefully, get fully accustomed to the contents, and use the disinfectant solution as instructed. Be sure to fully understand what to do if the disinfectant solution comes in contact with your skin and eyes. • When handling the disinfectant solution, wear appropriate personal protective equipment. 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. Personal protective equipment includes eyewear, face mask, moisture-resistant clothing, and chemical-resistant gloves that fit properly and are long enough so that your skin and eyes is not exposed. All personal protective equipment should be inspected before use and replaced periodically. If personal protective gear is damaged or defective in anyway, do not handle hazardous chemicals and refer to the facility policies.
