9.1 Summary of reprocessing the endoscope
Certain accessories are required to manually reprocess the endoscope. Some of
these accessories are cleaned and disinfected along with the endoscope. The
steps for reprocessing the endoscope and these accessories are explained in
this chapter. Chapter 10, “Reprocessing the Accessories”, describes the steps
for reprocessing accessories that are not reprocessed together with the
endoscope.
The reprocessing workflow of all accessories is outlined in Chapter 8,
“Reprocessing Workflow for Endoscopes and Accessories”.
Use sterile equipment, such as sterile syringes and cloths, for all reprocessing
steps occurring after immersion of the endoscope and accessories in
disinfectant solution.
