6.3 Detergent solution for manual cleaning
• Excessive foaming prevents detergent solution from properly
contacting the surfaces and channel walls of the endoscope
and accessories, and may impair effective cleaning.
• Do not reuse detergent solution.
Use a neutral (20 – 45°C) or alkaline (20 – 40°C, <pH 10.8) low-foaming
enzymatic detergent with no abrasion labeled for use with flexible endoscopes
and accessories that has been approved by your national regulatory agency for
use in reprocessing flexible endoscopes, accessories, and medical instruments.
Follow the instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer regarding
concentration, temperature, contact time, use life, expiration date, and rinsing
unless otherwise specified by Olympus.
