LEAK TESTING
Step 1
PRE-CLEANING
Step 2
1. Wipe Insertion Tube
and distal tip immediately
after removal from patient
using alcohol wipe.
2. Remove All Parts
Fiberoptic cable
Fiberoptic adaptors
Video equipment
3. Perform Leak Test (dry)
Attach leak tester to scope
Pump up to 160mmHg
Wait one (1) minute
If pressure falls more than
10mmHg in one (1) minute
scope fails.
Do not use (contact JEDMED)
If scope passes go to Step 2
Clean scope immediately after use.*
Do NOT allow debris to dry on scope.
Remove all Loose
Material Deposits
Hold scope under lukewarm,
running tap water.
Gently wipe with cloth from
scope body to distal tip.
Concentrate on insertion
tube and distal tip windows.
Do not twist insertion tube!
Use soft toothbrush or similar
on difcult areas.
Rinse thoroughly.
Pat dry** with cloth.
Immediately go to Step 3
CLEANING
Step 3
1. Prepare Enzymatic
Detergent / Clean Scope
Follow manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
Do not over-dilute or under-dilute.
Completely immerse scope in
detergent bath.
Brush and wipe scope until no
visible debris remain.
Continue brushing/wiping for two
(2) additional minutes.
Pay special attention to insertion
tube, distal tip windows, heavily
soiled areas and physician contact
areas.
2. Rinse Thoroughly
Immerse scope in clean basin
of fresh, lukewarm tap water.
Agitate gently. Remove and
rinse under lukewarm running
tap water. Rinse until all
detergent has been removed.
3. Dry Thoroughly
Dry with medical-grade forced air
until completely dry**.
4. Re-Inspect
Visibly re-inspect and re-clean if
any debris is found.
DISINFECTION
(High-Level)
Step 4
1. Fully Immerse Scope
in high-level disinfectant solution.
Follow manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
Allow scope to soak specied
time (use timer).
Remove scope from disinfectant.
2. Rinse Thoroughly
Immerse in basin of sterile or
clean tap water. Agitate gently.
Discard water. Repeat above
two (2) additional times. Rinse
until all disinfectant has been
removed.
3. Dry Thoroughly
Dry with medical-grade forced air
until completely dry**.
4. Functionally Test Scope

STORAGE
Step 5
1. Assure Scope is
Completely Dry
2. Store Scope
in a covered drawer,
enclosed storage cabinet or
original storage case. Area
should be well-ventilated and
dust-free.
Keep insertion tube and
angulation section straight.
Cleaning / Disinfecting Procedure
Ergo-Flex Laryngo-Nasopharyngoscopes
* Note: Clean scope immediately after use. Do NOT allow bio-materials to dry on scope, as cleaning is much more difcult. Residual bio-burden signicantly decreases effectiveness of disinfectants.
Effective cleaning is the most important part of the disinfection process.
** Note: Drying is critically important to minimize formation of biolm. Biolm will form on any surface containing non-sterile water. Biolms signicantly decrease effectiveness of disinfectants.
