CLEANING AT THE WORK ROOM
1. The fiberscope should be Leak Tested before
proceeding with any further cleaning steps.
NOTE: See section on Leakage Tester Instructions.
The hand-operated Welch Allyn Leakage Tester is
available as an optional accessory.
2. Prepare a basin with warm water and a mild
enzymatic detergent.
CAUTION: BEFORE IMMERSING: Take OFF the “Red” ETO gas sterilization venting cap.
The use of an enzymatic detergent immediately after each procedure to dissolve and
remove organic contaminants and proteinaceous debris is essential to the care and
maintenance of the endoscope from the standpoints of infection control and functionality.
3. Remove the rubber suction control valve and the
rubber inlet seal. Then thoroughly (but gently)
wash the entire surface of the endoscope and its
components. Allow all items to soak in an enzy-
matic solution for the time period recommended
by the manufacturer of the enzymatic detergent.
NOTE: Do not squeeze or severely bend the
insertion tube. Do not use any abrasive materials.
Be careful to avoid damage to the distal lenses.
