Programming Times
SCOPE BUDDY Programming Times for Olympus, Pentax & Fujinon Brand Endscope are listed below for Scope
Buddy units having a serial number >201345.
Programming times are different depending on which version Scope Buddy is being used. Reference the Scope
Buddy serial number (found on Scope Buddy’s back panel) to identify which “Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix” is to be
used.
• For Scope Buddy units having a serial number ≤ 201344, then use the Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix part
number 50096-704.
• For Scope Buddy units having a serial number ≥ 201345, then use the Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix part
number 50096-849.
The Scope Buddy Rinse Matrices can be found by logging onto the Medivators website located at:
www.minntech.com/medivators
. Click on the “Medivators Reprocessing Systems” tab followed by the “Resource
Center” dropdown and then “User Library”. Select “Scope Buddy” as the product and then scroll down to the “Users
Manuals” heading and “Document Descriptions” to locate the correct Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix.
Always verify the correct Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix is being used based off of the serial number of the unit in use.
Reference the “Scope Buddy Rinse Matrix” to identify the programming time required to flush cleaning and rinse
solutions through the endoscope channels during the manual cleaning process.
The time stated assumes that the connection tubings and hookup kits from SCOPE BUDDY to the endoscope are
primed and full of fluid. Program times should be extended by 10 seconds if the tubes are not pre-primed.
The rinse matrix times area based on in-house validation tests that were conducted using endoscopes with
channels in good working condition, free from restrictions and/or defects. These rinse times represent the grouping
of endoscopes. Rinse times may be reduced by individual flow testing of a specific endoscope. Always ensure
flushing volumes comply with endoscope manufacturer’s guidelines.
Due to differences in individual endoscope channel performance, users should always verify that the solution
volumes meet the manual cleaning requirements of the endoscope manufacturer and or the facility. Use these
programming times for Scope Buddy units having serial numbers ≥ 201345.
